    The newer Fox Sports 1 that carries the Monday night GBP cards was going to carry a lot of these World Cup cards I thought.

    It just seems we would have heard a bit more about the Solis-Takam fight than we have so far. Guess I need to check my cable guide to see what its saying.

    Nevermind!!

    *** The WBC World Cup is Postponed

    The WBC has asked the promoters and participants of the WBC World Cup Tournament, which has been the dream of our President Jose Sulaiman, to postpone the inauguration of the tournament as a sign of respect and solidarity for his current medical condition as he recovers from his recent heart surgery.

    Jose Sulaiman worked tirelessly for several years to put together the formidable World Cup, which is a tournament between all WBC affiliated federations champions to determine the best of the division, with the winner to become a challenger of the reigning champion.

    The postponement would allow our President to be involved in all the activities which he had so passionately dedicated toward its implementation, with the support of the WBC 19s 10 Continental federations.

    All our efforts in the WBC will be concentrated in the successful recuperation of Jose Sulaimán, who is presently recovering at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.

    If that's the case, Solis vs. Takam should be rescheduled for late December.

    Solis vs Takam will take place in the tournament. So the fight will take place in the spring. And most likely the tournament will not be at all, imho.

    Sorry, but Takam has no chance against any version of Solis. Who has he beaten to give anyone any reason to believe he can compete with this guy?
    Solis, on the other hand, has already clearly exhibited the ability to outclass fighters that are roughly on Takam's level(Welliver,Larsen) and has had success against a variety of fighting styles.

    Why don't they let the doctors concentrate on getting Suleiman well and they can concentrate on sanctioning fights. WTF:huh
