    This Friday in Paris we have Kalenga vs Dorticos for the WBA regular, then on Saturday we have Lebedev vs Ramirez as a WBA Super/IBF unification & we also get Shumenov vs Wright for WBA interim.

    It is quite the achievement if you can say "yeah we are by far the biggest crooks" in a sport like boxing where corruption within the sanctioning orgs is epidemic. Congratulations WBA

    Having 2 champions in the same division is bad enough but 3 is just ridiculous, having all 3 fight within 36 hours is a joke.

    But they are collecting sanctioning fees from 3 fights instead of 1. Greedy *******s.

    As soon as Lebedev snatches the IBF belt, they will make him the "unified champ" :deal Then someone will be elevated.

    The super champ has to face the interim champ within 120 days, I assume that creates the new supa dupa champ

    All organisations have versions of this. Silver champions etc. More money for the organisation, more belts to be won, profit profit.

    Swan vs. Ramírez is a legit world title worthy match (and would be the most important of all three even if nothing were on the line); Kalenga vs. Dorticos is acceptable - were there only a single WBA title and DL/VER not in the picture it would be absolutely fine, if not quite as big or exciting as the former; Shumenov vs. Wright is a complete joke and is appropriately for the version of the WBA's fractured paper titles held in the lowest regard.

    They are the most hip-hop sanctioning org.

    Those fancy new PBC titles better come encrusted with diamond vials filled with Cristal if they want to wrest those honors away. :bart
