Canada’s Tony Luis Disappointed in Scoring of Controversial Loss, but Vows to Keep Fighting for his Goals!

Canadian lightweight Tony “Uira” Luis (19-3, 7 Koó) says he’s disappointed with the scoring of his controversial unanimous-decision loss last weekend to Derry Mathews (38-9-2, 20 Koó) for the interim WBA Lightweight title in Matthewshometown of Liverpool, Ingarangi, but won’t let it deter him from his goals.

Despite taking the fight on three days’ pānui, Luis seemed to outwork Matthews in most rounds and would probably be wearing a championship belt today, had the fight been contested on neutral ground. Kia aroha mai, the European judges saw it another way, scoring it 114-112 (Jean Legland, FRA), 115-112 (Dave Parris, UK) a 114-112 (Stefano Carozza, ITA), all for Matthews.

I can’t say I feel good,” said Luis, home safely in Cornwall, Ontario. “This was my shot and I didn’t get the decision, but I know with my performance, I’ll get another one. Most of the press and the fans, especially in North America, know what’s up and saw the fight for what it really was. Derry did what he had to do to survive but not enough to win. He was cagey and made the fight look more competitive than it was, and that’s what a veteran is supposed to do.

Despite his disappointment in the scoring, Luis says taking the fight was still a good career choice. “It was absolutely the right decision. You don’t turn down a title shot. But taking it on three days’ pānui, we knew we’d have to shake off the jetlag quickly. My game plan was good, but on such short notice, it wasn’t muscle memory. I had to keep thinking about it in the ring. That’s why I think it took me three rounds to get going. Despite all this, I still won the fight. Now I know I belong among the champions in this division and that’s a good feeling.

Luis’ kaiwhakatairanga, Greg Cohen o Greg Cohen Whakatairanga, says he’s pleased with his fighter’s strong performance and will immediately go to work for the 27-year-old.

Tony looked sensational i runga i Rāhoroi,” Na ka mea a Cohen. “Taking the fight on such short notice, you’d think fatigue would play a role, but he was a machine in there. That shows you how hard he works in the gym. Of course we’re disappointed in the scoring, but looking at the big picture, we now know we have a championship-caliber fighter in Tony. He responded perfectly to the pressure of a world championship fight. I will be petitioning the sanctioning bodies to keep Tony high up in the ratings and give him another title shot very soon. This time on neutral ground.

Luis will be returning to action quickly, he is set to fight for a regional title against an opponent TBA on Pipiri 26 at the Seneca Niagara Event Center in Niagara Falls, New York, and live on CBS Sports Network.

I’m a bit discouraged from the politics,” Luis tonu, “but am I deterred from my goals? Absolutely not. The people have spoken, the fans know who won and that is consolation for me. I will keep moving forward!”

GCP Switches it Up in a Big Way!

Tony Luis to Face Derry Matthews for World Championship this Saturday in England; Ismael Barroso now Fighting Ira Terry on CBS in Hinckley, MN Tenei Rāmere

Lack of time to obtain proper visas has forced the necessity for two of Greg Cohen Promotions’ (GCP) fighters to switch places on short notice for this weekend.

I Rāhoroi, April 18, Cornwall, Ontario’s Tony “Uira” Luis (19-2, 7 Koó) will now face UK veteran Derry Matthews (37-9-2, 20 Koó) for the Interim WBA Lightweight Championship at the Echo Arena in Matthewshometown of Liverpool, Ingarangi, as the main event of a night of boxing presented by Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

Luis was originally scheduled to face Nopo, Tennessee, hōia Ira Terry (26-13, 16 Koó) in the televised co-feature of the “Championship mekemeke i te CBS Sports Whatunga” takahanga, presented by Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Adam Wilcock’s Fight Card Promotions and produced by David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions onRāmere, April 17, i te Grand Casino Hinckley i roto i te Hinckley, Minnesota.

Unbeaten Venezuelan slugger Ismael Barroso (17-0-2, 16 Koó), who was originally scheduled to face Matthews, was unable to obtain the proper visas in time to fight on such short notice in England. He will now take Luisplace in Hinckley and will take on Terry in an eight-round attraction tenei Rāmere.

It worked out well for everyone,” Na ka mea a Greg Cohen. “Tony Luis was high enough in the ratings and ready to fight, so he’s one of the few fighters in the world who could have stepped into this important fight on such short notice. And fortunately, he is a GCP fighter as well, so we made it happen quickly and he is on his way to the UK as we speak. Tony gets his dream shot at a world championship and the fans in Hinckley, and on CBS Sports Network, will get their first look at one of the most fearsome punchers in boxing, Ihimaera Barroso. So it seems that everyone wins in this unique situation.
