Gianluca Di Caro 115-115
Result: Draw
Suspension: N/A
Note: As both camps have publicly claimed that they should have been declared victorious by an identical margin of four rounds, it has been decided that a panel chaired by World renowned A Class Referee/Judge Mr. Richie Davies will review the video footage and prepare a report – In addition discussions have already been undertaken with both Mr. Docherty and Mr. Symonds with view to a rematch, with BIBA Head of Referees/Judges Richie Davies appointed as the referee and overseas judges, in the near future to ultimately decide on a victor.
It should be noted that this is not due to any allegations of biased refereeing or judging by officials on the night, as Mr. Murtagh who scored in favour of Mr. Docherty is Irish, Mr. Creed who scored in favour of Chas Symonds is Scottish, but to ensure that neither party could possibly have any cause to claim partisan judging at the rematch.
