But it's different when Wilder has never fought anyone even nearly ranked be give a title shot, rank#3 WBC without fighting anyone nearly ranked, just winos from the allies. Wilder refused to fight Chisora, Thompson, Fury, but when Chisora knocked out Scott, he took that fight............... It's not OK when Vitali and Vlad fought mandatories though.........
Fair enough. It's up to the management teams of #1 and #2 to get their fighters the fight that they "paid their dues" for. Lomachenko had enough juice to dictate the terms of his contract that he signed with TR to get the fight he wanted in his 2nd pro fight. The WBO sanctioned it. Salido signed the contract. Who knows, maybe there's an openly homo***ual fighter out there who can make the 126lb limit and he gets to fight for the vacant title?
Bowe got a rematch when he was stopped by low blows from Golota. So, I think the Euro haters should file a petition to reverse that decision since they believe that low blows are legal.....................to the legs, balls, hips, etc.............Lomachenko was beaten by Laurence Cole, plus most of Salido's blows were illegal and do not count.
