WBA Middleweight Interim Title fight - Nov 24 - UK

on one thread/side you ***** about the WBA doing this. But then on the other thread/side you say its okay for the IBF to simply brush the mandate fight aside and allow a big money fight to happen. Cant have it both ways.

Boxing is promoter and title sanction body. UFC is both.

 

It would have been a huge oppurtunity for Robbie Bryant. It makes no sence to turn down a Interim World Title. Then defend the PABA belt. Having met Robbie i know he wouldnt have refused the fight. His management must have declined the fight.

 

True but Murray beats him badly. He's not at that level yet if ever.

 

Alot of people knocked back the Murray according to this.

FFS shut the **** up. You have been told repeatedly that the mandatory is going to take place yet it doesn't seem to get through your thick head. You've already embarrassed yourself enough with your lack of boxing knowledge so **** off to the MMA forums, you ignorant moron.

 

Sorry MrManBearPig< I must just not understand it all. Can you correct me in how I see it.

Sam Soliman fought bouts to gain the No1 contender position. IBF champion Geale is due to fight his manatory Soliman by December 8. The IBF gave a special excemption for Geale to fight Mundine, to delay the mandatory. The special reason for the delay is that a Mundine fight creates more money.

Is correct? If so is it right? Is it good for boxing to have a system were an org allows a mandatory to be bypassed for a big money fight against a guy who does not even have a belt from another org? Is this good for boxing?

 

It happens all the time certain boxers have influence with sanctioning bodies. Mundine is a bigger draw and has bigger influence than Soliman. Mundine used his influence to get a title shot at Soliman a MW when Kessler unified. He also had a voluntary defence against his mate Nader Hamden who was 3 wins 2 losses from memory before he fought Mundine with the best win being Porky Lovatt. No way would Nader of been WBA top 15 without some creative ranking from the WBA. At least Mundine-Geale is not a **** match up and if the first fight is any indication will be a great fight.
Soliman will have to wait. Thats just the way it is.

 

Looks like if Murray wins this he will get a crack at the sexy one.

Some journos get some good mail.

 

Murray is way better than Geale!

 

So not only is Geale ducking GGG and Soliman, he is now ducking Martinez lol
