Hi Francis
Thanks for your feedback which is most thought-provoking. At the end of the day, no other dates had been forthcoming and we prefer wherever possible not to play match-maker - this has been done by other orgs far too often and has resulted in some horrendous "mandatories" foisted upon the public. I agree it's not a perfect fight - few are but we now have a strong champion who rates very highly within our Top-100 system.

You raise some good points on the state of boxing and I will be passing these comments along

Thanks for the explanation Phil regarding the IBO. Your correct in that the IBO has gained much more respect in recent years. I agree with you on this and also agree that the other organisations are really no better, some people just think they are better because they have been around for longer. I just think it is wrong that Green and Dominguez fought for the vacant title. You have stated that no other applications came through from other fighters to contest the vacant title. Does that not indicate that Green and Dominguez's people have then "bought" the title by putting in an application when there were surely a fair few fighters ahead of them in the rankings. Where these higher ranked fighters contacted by the IBO to try and make a better/more relevant fight for the vacant title ? Surely the IBO would want the best possible champion to represent their organisation. I realise the organisation is a business and has to make money but do you expect us to believe that none of the higher ranked fighters at 200 had any interest in fighting for the title ? The reason the boxing organisations have a black eye is because things like this occurr. I realise you are in a tough position to comment but Green fighting Dominguez for the vacant IBO 200 title was a farce really and cheapens the idea of a world title. This then causes the stain on boxing when fighters with the skill/ability of Danny Green/Anthony Mundine etc etc can then call themselves 3 weight 3 times world champion. It doesn't look good does it ?

And to be fair when you put the letters B.O in the name of your organisation people are gonna subconsciously think it STINKS.......
