IBU title belt. Another black eye for boxing.

Samurai's Slice · 12-04-2012, 06:08 PM

I think I may have found the worst, most corrupt sanctioning body yet. The IBU.

They are offering you a title fight, You don't offer a goddamn title fight!!!

The look of this, yet another stupid sanctioning body isn't good.

Why do I bring this up now? Simple, James Toney beat no-namer Gunn for the title earlier this year, which was a disgrace itself. But now they have managed to go another step down, 45 year old Rick Camlin, Fought twice in the last seven years is getting a title shot. This Saturday I saw due to piles of advertising for a Ustream of it on Boxrec.

Camlin is a low-level club fighter. On a comeback after two KO losses to Galen Brown and Scott Pamberton in 04'. He beat 0-2 Damen Reed and 5-3 Chris Venola early this year by stoppage.

That gets him a " title fight " by the cons at the IBU's standards yes it does. Which is horrible for a great sport like boxing.

It just doesn't have the lucrative appeal of the UBF title.

Sadly after looking it up and finding it is real, I can agree.

"IBU - Where true champions fight."

They spelled champignons wrong

Leftsmash · 12-04-2012, 07:10 PM

Does James Toney have one of the IBU belts?

And what's UBF?

Porgeous Porge · 12-04-2012, 07:14 PM

Hasnt the IBU been around for a while and it has never been taken seriously like the WBU and WBF and IBO

Vantage_West · 12-04-2012, 08:18 PM

The GBO is the only title that matters.

Who wouldn't want this beautiful belt, as advertised on this professional website-

Theres some absolute stormers in that list

DannyBoy1 · 12-04-2012, 08:34 PM

Looking through the IBU's rankings, they have all the lower level fringe world contenders ranked first and second in the hope someone will call for a title shot

Hatesrats · 12-04-2012, 08:44 PM

Whatever happened to that "White" belt Cotto had a couple years back?

^ The World Boxing Board. Haven't heard of them since honestly.

WBF Celtic title. This one is kinda cool looking and I like the concept behind it.
