    :patsch And this is not happening because...? Schaefer can shove his excuses up his ass with all the other ****. "Durr..., see both fighters want to fight for both titles and Golden Boy wants both titles at stake, but we are in a bit of a dilemma you see. Its simply not possible to have this 'unification' unless of course we make it, because its entirely possible and the winner can just choose which one to hang on to afterwards, no strings attached."

    I dislike Schaeffer/Oscar and feel i can see through their bul****.

    However this all makes sence to me.

    And makes a mockery of all the posters going overboard complaing over the last couple of days about this being 141.

    Of course the fighters will want to unify the belts if they could. They'll only be taking this fight cos they think they can win.

    And it sounds like they are going to try to make it happen still. And i wouldn't be suprised if they do, now that the greedy sanctioning bodies realise they aren't getting there Cut.

    No one gives a **** about belts.

    The exact same number of people will watch this fight now,as would have before the catchweight became known.

    War Matthysse

    Golden Boy is not at fault here. The IBF will not allow their belt to be unified with an interim title. Golden Boy tried to come up with solutions that would allow for a title fight without either guy vacating. All the solutions were rejected by the IBF. The three options were; no fight, non-title fight above the JWW limit, or either Peterson or Matthysse had to vacate their title. Peterson is obviously not going to vacate his IBF title to fight for an interim title. Matthysse had no interest in dropping his interim title, even though he would be fighting for a full title. As a result, we have a non-title fight 1 lb. above the JWW limit.

    The arm pit PED fiasco has ruined Peterson's credibility with the fans. This is the second incident in a month were he took the brunt of the blame for a situation that was caused by his opponent before all the facts were revealed. He's got his work cut out for him in order to get back in the good graces of the fans.

    Golden Boy and Lucas's camps are at fault.
    First it makes no sense to have the fight and nothing is on the line for each fighter, **** might as well be a ****ing exhibition.

    Second, as I mentioned before and someone else alluded to, an interim belt isn't a real champ, he is simply the #1 contender and he is getting a shot at a real belt for a champ in the division who has the best resume. You don't fight him because you want to fight Garcia, a guy who only has beaten shot fighters and Khan, who Peterson had already beaten? It is a joke.

    Ah, i see now. I suppose I see Lucas' point. Fighting Garcia for the WBC and WBA and Ring title is better than the IBF by itself, but I can't see how winning a strap against a relatively known champion when you have the chance isn't worth clinging to that mandatory.

    This is why I can't stand Lucas clearly this is his fault, he acts like a female, he's scared to give up an interim title? Maidana would have given up the interim title fought Peterson at a real weight than fought Danny cause he's real warrior. Matthysse fans only give him this pass cause they think he is white.

    yeah I've noticed that too. Even I am guilty to blaming him and jumping the gun
