Boston Looks to Heal Boxing Reputation After DeMarco Victory
Boston faces scrutiny as the Massachusetts Boxing Commission schedules a post New Year inquiry into Tony DeMarco's knockout of Don Jordan. Chairman Herman Greenberg says the probe aims to address allegations of unfair officiating and to restore Boston's boxing image while considering possible actions if officials erred. The commission may invite the fight referee, Dr Francis Wixsted, Jordan's manager Ralph Gambina, and others to a hearing. Greenberg notes the outcome could lead to sanctions if incompetence is shown, though reversing the victory is uncertain. He cites past bouts like Patterson McNeeley moving to Toronto as context for Boston’s reputation concerns. English challenger Terry Downes says he will not accept Boston decisions, preferring neutral venues.
