MVP believes Bahdi should have won

Most Valuable Promotions has formally challenged the decision in Lucas Bahdi’s Saturday, October 10 world championship bout against Floyd Schofield III.

The video evidence demonstrates multiple significant officiating errors that directly impacted the outcome of the fight.

Most Valuable Promotions released this statement: "Our review shows that had these knockdowns been properly ruled and scored, Lucas would have won the WBA lightweight world championship by majority decision.

"We have a responsibility to advocate for our fighters, especially when a world championship is at stake. Lucas deserves a fair result, and we believe the evidence warrants a thorough review. We have submitted our findings to the WBA and requested an immediate rematch. 

"Our fighters put everything on the line when they step into the ring, and MVP will always stand behind our athletes and advocate for the opportunities and fair treatment they deserve."

Schofield won the world championship contest with scores of 116-110, 119-108, 115-111. The unbeaten 24-year-old claimed the vacant WBA world lightweight title in Chicago that night. Full fight report
