    Just heard from Elias Nasser that Lenny Zappa will be fighting for a world title on Vic Darchinyan's March 7th undercard fight in the U.S , good work from the boys , I hope Lenny can come back with the title. I think its for the IBO lightweight title, once I find out more info I will post it.

    Is this a trick question??????

    Zappa has 2 or 3 aussie titles 2 or 3 regional titles

    Also great wins over Tommy Browne who has fought for real world titles before and Gary st Clair....do you know who he is :yep

    Mundine got his shot fighting lesser guys that Zappa did.

    No trick question. Just because someone else did it your saying its cool for others to do it it? Answer my question. Tell me who Leonardo Zappavignia has beaten that qualifies him to become a world champion.

    IBO will sanction a title if both boxers are within their top 35 rankings.
    Better yet they may sanction an exception like in Dominguez's case.

    So yeah pretty much if u have the money, by all means u can get an IBO title shot.

    Everyone needs to remember that the kid is only 22 years old, this has to be seen as a progression to genuine world title. The kid has the goods regardless.
    I think he has achieved helluva lot for a young kid. He is being steered the direction you would want for your fighter.

    I hate to break the news for all the Sakio and Green Machine fans , are they world champs or not. It cant be one rule for some and another rule for others.

    Zappa has wins over a former world champ and a former 2 time world title contender :deal

    Thats why he gets the shot

    And if all boxing is a bit of cash for a title them go do it yourself....sounds easy :hey

    Who had Fenech beaten that qualified him for his first.. uh hum.. world title??

    Who had Satoshi Shigaki beaten also??

    Who had Jimmy Carruthers beaten??? Seriously?? Be clever if you even attempt to answer this one.

    What ever your little mind assumes, just remember Lenny will come home with the crown and more than likely go on to bigger things over the next 10 years. This ain't an interim regular champ in recess super champ international title mate.

    Kick arse Zappa!!
