    Anthony Mundine Ducks Austin Trout, Targets Bogus Interim Title

    Anthony Mundine has apparently decided that a fight with WBA "regular" junior middleweight titlist Austin Trout was too tough, so instead he'll be facing Rigoberto Alvarez for a bogus interim title on September 7 in Australia, according to ***********.com.
    This is about as weak and obvious a move as Mundine has made to date, and that's saying something. The WBA currently has Miguel Cotto (in action on December 3) as their "super champion" despite the fact that Cotto holds no other recognized belt (he does hold the essentially fake WBB title), and an active Trout as their "regular champion," but for whatever reason the WBA is sanctioning an interim belt. This is typical practice that we've seen the WBA pull in the featherweight division recently, but it's still absurd.
    Add in the fact that Alvarez (27-3, 20 KO) hasn't fought since losing to Austin Trout in February, and it just gets even stupider. This is basically impossible to defend as anything legitimate.

    BadLeftHook seem to have a fairly unbias opinion compared to some of the other sites on the world wide web lol.

    Should be a good tune up for Mundine to duck Trout then, eh?

    Alvarez will win. Mundine is finished he looked awful in both Woods fights. This bloke would have to be pretty bad to lose against Mundine. If Mundine does win I don't think he will fight Trout.

    That's the minimum lay-off period for our Aussie ''superstars''.

    Sorry to break the news to some but there is no chance Canelo is coming to Australia with a fight of his own on a major US ppv only 2 weeks later!
