    The reason why Dorticos vacated his belt is because of the IBF's rule, which doesn't consider the WBA regular title as a world title...... shitty news.

    That's bad. But Gassiev should've held WBA belt after his win over Lebedev

    Hopefully the winner goes straight into a fight with Lebadev which will establish an undisputed champ.

    Yunier's regular belt is a meaningless trinket. I didn't even know he had it tbh.

    I thought the "super" had been vacated by Lebedev, making the "regular" the only WBA belt for the time being.
    And Gassiev should actually be the WBA "super" champion anyway.

    The WBA made such a mess of things.

    Either vacate or the IBF will not be on the line? I think thats why, but am not 100% certain.

    But that makes no sense actually.
    If they really don't consider it a world title, then what does it matter to them that he's holding that trinket?!
    It's more like making a statement this way.

    Lebedev shouldn't have been able to keep his title after losing to Gassiev. If I remember correctly the WBA and IBF titles should've been on the line right?

    Ego thing?
    So far we have yet to see any of ABCs fight it out with each other. Tomoki Kameda vacated his WBO belt for the WBA regular one.
