So the WBA ruled today that if Rigo loses to Chenko at 130 he loses his title at 122

    And if he wins he gets FIVE WHOLE DAYS to make a decision if he's going to fight at 122 again, at which time he has to fight the guy who he just KOed a half-second after the bell, and took a flop, again. Makes perfect sense. I've been a boxing fan for 40 years and this may be the most crooked/stupid thing I've heard from a sanctioning body yet.

    How does that make any sense?
    The ABCs are slowly digging their own graves.

    It's terrible, connections are everything in boxing today, it's getting like the 1950s when gangsters ruled the sport. Caribe Promotions cant do **** for Rigo, they don't even have a F- website!

    If you are not affiliated with Hearn, GBP, Arum, PBC, Roc-Nation, Loeffler or arguably Main Events or DiBella, you are screwed in boxing, they will do anything to take your title away from you.

    Rigo no longer has Arum to protect him. Thats the way it goes. It's a sport rooted in gangster ****, it'll always remain gangster.

    Fans have to stop caring at all about the trinkets.

    WBA going to cite its attempt to have 1 belt in each division as the reason while they just sanctioned another secondary title yesterday or two days ago. They want the belt off Rigo so badly. No other way to read it.

    they have to come up with some Kind of law to shut down criminal organistions like the WBA! i know all governing bodies in boxing are criminals........but even among this pathetic bunch, the WBA manages to stand out.
    if the WBC, IBF and WBO can be viewed as steaming piles of **** the size of you average ny-city sky scraper.............the WB fukkkinA is the MOUNT EVEREST and dwarfs them almost into insignificance.

    yes, it´s the WBA that produce muliple world Champion in EACH devision!!! if the WBA were a Person, it would be living proof that multiple personalty disorder does in fact EXIST!!!!
    These lowlifes call charr heavyweight Champion of the word!!! alongside AJ! how the **** is that possible??

    if boxing were a Religion, it would be time to declare jiihad on the wba right fn now.

    Yes, it's disgraceful.

    There were strong rumours that this would happen for about a month so I'm not surprised.

    and the WBA will give the title to Moises Flores, a coward who took a dive against the Rigoblin after he realised how out of his depth he was

    He should have been sanctioned for the fouls he committing when KOing Flores.
