Errors have been discovered in the scorecards of two of the three judges in the IBF minimum weight title fight between newly crowned champion Florante Condes and Muhammad Rachman of Indonesia . The errors were discovered and promptly corrected by IBF fight supervisor Lindsey Tucker who is also chairman of the IBF Ratings Committee.
Tucker found an error in the addition on the scorecard of Indonesian judge Muhammad Rois who had been criticized for his 117-113 score in favor of his countryman Rachman and according to Condes’ manager Aljoe Jaro was even booed by the Indonesian fans.
The revision resulted in Rois’ scorecard reading 114-112 for Rachman. Rois was quoted by boxing writer Jeffrey Pamungkas as saying he scored four rounds for Condes including the two 10-8 scores when Rachman was dropped in rounds three and ten. Tucker confirmed that Rois gave Condes rounds one, three, ten and twelve.
Even the scorecard of Filipino judge Salven Lagumbay who described the fight as a "classic" was revised. Instead of the original two point spread which he said he gave Condes it turned out to be four points 115-111. The only judge whose scorecard was correct was Thailand’s Montol Suriyachand which was 114-112.
