“Philippine national boxer Julyfer Bascon was robbed in the Asian Championships…He slipped in the first round, was unfairly given the 8-count, then the fight was stopped by the referee. It’s clear from the tape that he was barely hit and was obviously not hurt,” Picson wrote in a social media post.
In the video shared by local and international boxing personalities, the 25-year-old Bascon was in a tooth-and-nail battle against Uzbekistan’s Adkhamjon Mukhiddinov in the opening round of their lightweight bout.Bascon lost his balance after he stepped in for an attack to the body with a right straight. His opponent likewise countered with a left hook that hit nothing but air.
“How can a country scout or look for a rising boxing star with this kind of system? Paul Julyfer Bascon from the Philippines lost the fight against Uzbekistan just like that and just like that the effort and hard work of a boxer were just wasted. You should evaluate each judge and referee or give them a seminar because it looks like some haven’t done any.”
