    Jackson’s camp looking to protest

    Monday, July 7th, 2008

    Quinton Jackson made no excuses after losing his light heavyweight title to Forrest Griffin. However, a day after the fight, Jackson’s coach Juanito Ibarra has plans to protest the fight. Apparently, Ibarra is unhappy with the judges’ take on the action. But all the rumblings have come from Jackson’s camp have not come from Jackson himself. And that is no surprise given the character of Jackson.

    Ibarra’s pleas will more than likely wind up being to no avail, although he may have another strategy entirely. Voicing such a vehement displeasure with the fight’s outcome will generate more attention, thus intensifying the possibility of a rematch. In fact, that may be Ibarra’s sole purpose for appearing to be so disgruntled.

    While Griffin may not have dominated the fight, it was obvious he was the clear cut winner. Even Jackson himself admitted that fact. Although, to get another shot at Griffin, Jackson’s camp may have to do some politicking. That is where Ibarra comes into play. Sherdog.com offers a piece in which Iberra goes into greater detail about what he claims to be a “baffling” decision.
