    Why in the US? Other than Martinez who isnt American but is doing some fighting out of there, the best MWs arent in America


    Early days, but whats so wrong with the defences? Martirosan is known in his own country. People dont think other fighters are respected if they are not known to American TV, but Martirosyan has a record every bit as good as J Kirklands, but wait you recognise that name .
    How is Pirog holding a belt hostage, he has mandatories that he will have to fulfill.
    The champ often does defend on home turf. The challengers are meant to go to the champ. What countries did Jones or Hopkins travel to, to defend their titles?
    Champs that travel really do deserve props. Not many do and in fairness the champs shouldnt really have to. Fighters like Froch, Kessler, Cunningham etc dont get the credit for taking fights away with everything to lose and nothing to gain.
    Pirog should be able to defend at home.

    Do you think they would be willing to travel to Russia to face the champ?
    The champ should be at home with the challenger visiting.
    Do you think they will want the champ to travel?


    Whats the answers?

    Per your question about Angulo/Kirkland travelling to fight Pirog, I agree 100% that Pirog is the champion and already travelled to someone's back yard to get it (Jacobs).

    Im not sure why a champ gets called a home fighter if he is champ defending at home. The only time I really would argue it is when there is meant to be some give and take by all, like in the S6, where turns should be taken.
    For vacant titles, I guess its who wins the purse bids etc, but defences should be where it suits the champ, normally at home.
    Fighters like Cunningham, Kessler, Froch, V Klitschko etc deserve credit for travelling as champ with everything to lose and nothing to gain
