Pernell Whitaker's protest of a judge's scoring in his draw with Julio Cesar Chavez in San Antonio last month has been withdrawn. Jack Garison, of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees boxing in the state, said Whitaker's promoters "didn't have a legitimate complaint." A complaint was filed based on remarks by British judge Mickey Vann after the Sept. 13 WBC welterweight title bout. Vann had been quoted by London newspapers as saying he took it upon himself to deduct a point from Whitaker for a low blow.
