“I am going to protest to the Mississippi commission and the IBO”

Moments ago, GSP President Gary Shaw informed Boxingtalk that he will protest the draw, which was the result of ShowTime's ShoBox super middleweight tournament that took place last night, which saw his fighter Anthony Hanshaw 21-0-1(14) settle for a draw against Frenchman Jean Paul Mendy 23-0-1(12). “I believe it was controversial, I believe there was some mistakes made I am going to protest to the Mississippi commission and I am going to protest to the IBO. I believe that fight should have been stopped in the 12th round, a point deducted from Mendy for an intentional head butt, and it gone to the scorecards. In which case Hanshaw would have been the winner. It’s clear that the headbutt was intentional, and the butt has now caused Hanshaw probably not to be able to fight for probably six months” stated Shaw.
