After twelve
intense and spirited rounds, Jesus Haro,
fighting out of Merced, California, and
Venezuelan Geremys Batista fought to a Majority
Draw in their fight for the vacant title.
Batista,
the reigning Venezuelan national champion,
started the fight best, but Haro worked himself
into the fight and had the stronger finish.
Judge
Valentina Munoz scored the fight 115-113 for
Haro, but was overruled by judges
Enis Pacheco and Mary Luz Mosquera
who couldn't
separate the two and both had it even at
114-114.

“Chiquito”
Haro
is now 13-3-1 (2), and Batista (22) suffered his
first minor blemish on his record as he goes to
11-0-1 (9).
Both boxers
naturally felt they had done enough to win, and
the fight, headlining a card promoted by Sergio
Andrade, certainly deserves a rematch.
