I still believe some corrective or disciplinary measures should be imposed on entities that sanction mismatches as title fights, regardless of the scope of the title. Both fighters must be required to have proper credentials, including licenses from their respective countries/states. That's obviously as it should be, yet the reality is that mismatches are still happening, and unlicensed fighters are being allowed to fight!
and i thought ibf leaving the top two spots in their rankings was a bad thing. hot damns. superbantam and flyweight both do not have names on them. :rofl any of you guys up for a boxing match? i'm willing to get to 122lbs and fight for the gbc championship
Actually, that's not how it went down. What happened was that Casamayor inherited Corrales' mandatory which was due, against the "interim" title holder david diaz. Casa knew this going into the Corrales fight. After he won, the WBC inquired about the Diaz defense, and Casa said he would not fight Diaz because there was no $$$, and started looking at the Frietas fight instead. He told the WBC that he would not honor the mandatory. When a champion refuses to honor his mandatory, he's supposed to get stripped. Yes, even Casamayor.
Dumb is milder. I've been called stupid here before, and in friggin shouting big full caps. Actually I'm just daft and brainless. :tong
