🥊 Peter Markovski vs Jimmy Shannon – South Pacific Title (1996, Brisbane)

🥊 Peter Markovski vs Jimmy Shannon – South Pacific Title (1996, Brisbane) In 1996 in Brisbane, Peter Markovski and Jimmy Shannon went to war for the South Pacific Title, and what unfolded was pure 90s fight chaos. Peter flew in prepared for a hard 5-round battle, with Anthony “Hitman” Vella in his corner while trainer John Scida had other commitments. From the opening bell, it was explosive, with both fighters scoring 8-counts in a back-and-forth slugfest. But here’s where the controversy kicks in… Late in what looked like the fifth round, Peter appeared to score additional knockdowns. Momentum had clearly shifted. Then suddenly, confusion. The bout was stopped. One corner claimed it was the fifth and final round. The other insisted only four rounds had been completed. Was it a referee wave-off? Was it officially scheduled for five? Did the timekeeper get it wrong? Scorecards were read, and Peter Markovski was awarded a split decision victory. Justice prevailed… or did it? You be the judge. Was that a legitimate stoppage? Did the round count error change the outcome? And if it was only four rounds, who was actually ahead? Full breakdown now live on Fight Rewind.
