Peter named WBC Interim Champion!!!

Or better still, the guy that they probably made PAY for an eliminator fight, in McCall.

Either one of those 2 would have been fine.

 

Don't forget handing out title eliminators like they're spaghetti sauce coupons.

 

Yup that's an improvement. But it should be clariffied that Oleg should not fight anybody else except Peter first . . . or he'll be automatically stipped of the tittle. :yep

 

what a crock of ****.

have to award it to him because he can't win it.

 

Great news. Peter can´t wait his boxer life that Maskaev becomes healthy enough to fight.

Peter have wait a long time. It is not his false.

Than unify with Wladimir.

 

It sucks yeah.

but if we had to wait until Emeritus Vitlay, or regular ol' Oleg were fit, we wouldn't have a fight again.

 

At least, as I understand it, Peter has to defend it within 90 days. I'm hoping that they just did this so that an October 6th bout can be champion-challenger for the interim belt, instead of having two challengers for a vacant interim belt, which just sounds silly!

 

I wish they'd set up an interim fight instead, with whoever the highest-ranked WBC guy they could've get their hands on.

Regardless of the capabilities of the person involved, getting a belt without a fight always goes down badly with the critics. The WBC has handled this badly.

 

As long as Peter is with Duva and King, he will fight one Don King bum after another. Watch the Valuev opponents....

 

That would be rational which is against the wbc code. wbc is officially the worst in the current circus of all the different corrupt organizations.

Has anybody already calculated, to how many don king fighters they have handed the belts, without a fight?

 

He should have fought for the belt. Even if he had fought Jameel McCline or Andrew Golota as a formality, this would be more legit.

 

They did the right thing in my eyes.

As for what I can tell there was some trouble getting the top guys to agree to an interim eliminator. Which is probably what promted the WBC to award interim champion outright to Samuel Peter.

McCall wanted a large sum of money, probably too much for what the show was earning. Virchis as far as I can tell was unavailable as well.

So that basically leaves whoever is 3-10. And seeing as to now this isn't an interim eliminator coming up october the 6th, we may afterall see Golota-Peter.

Like it or not guys Maskaev is the primary fault for this. He cost alot of people money between January to August and Sam Peter, as well as his people have to get paid. If they make Oct 6th Golota-Peter, that is what this is all about. Making some money and staying active.

I for one expect Maskaev to slink into the shadows after his "injuries" are healed. He'll try and secure a money fight but Vitali probably wouldn't be interested now. Maskaev will immediately lose his title on the basis of fighting anyone other than Peter. Which is proper.

A fight is better than no fight, which is what Maskaev had in mind. The sooner we are rid of Maskaev and Vitali, the better off this division will be. No exceptions.
