Carlos Cañizales will receive some form of justice.

The scoring in Cañizales’ vacant WBC junior flyweight title fight versus Panya Pradabsri was questionable enough to grab the attention of the sanctioning body’s highest authority.

Thailand’s Pradabsri—a former WBC strawweight titlist who was The Ring No. 6 contender at 105—was awarded a majority decision and the green belt to become a two-division titleholder. Most observers felt should have went to Venezuela’s Cañizales—The Ring No. 5 junior flyweight—and with room to spare.

None of the three judges agreed with that account. Judge Malcolm Bulner (114-114) had the fight even after rounds. His card was overruled by judges Antonio Carrillo (115-113) and Zanashir Taznaa (116-112), who awarded the fight to the locally-based Pradabsri on Thursday at Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The judges agreed on just four of the twelve rounds scored.

“I am disappointed at the performance of the WBC judges in specific rounds,” WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman stated immediately after the fight. “I will order an immediate review by the corresponding committee.”

Pradabsri swept rounds one, four and eight. The ninth was the only round where Cañizales claimed a unanimous verdict.

Open scoring had Pradabsri ahead on two scorecards after four and eight rounds. Judge Taznaa absurdly awarded each of the first four rounds to the Bangkok-based Pradabsri.

Just as inexplicable was Judge Carrillo’s eleventh round in favor of Pradabsri. Cañizales enjoyed his best round of the fight in those three minutes and even had Pradabsri hurt in the closing seconds.

“WBC ring officials are accountable for their performance,” stated Sulaiman. “The approach seemed to work in every way except with the judges.”

Pradabsri claimed the WBC junior flyweight title left behind earlier this summer by former Ring/WBC/WBA Kenshiro Teraji (24-1, 15 KOs), who is now the WBC flyweight titlist.
