The Official WBO SUCKS Tread

I expect a scenario like this to play out sooner or later. It's not inconceivable that a WBA "regular champion" could unify with one of the other major belts, and I wouldn't be surprised if they subsequently elevated the regular champ and had two "super champs" within the division with yet another regular champion created as the glorified mandatory to both. This year we've already seen their ridiculous decisions to elevate Margarito to super champ without even unifying and the farce at Super Flyweight where Nashiro fought for the regular title and Arce fought the interim title at the same time. Throw in Darchinyan and they've got THREE sanctioned champs at 115. It's madness.

 

"WBO sucks" , agreed. Check out the #15 WBO ranked Heavyweight -Gonzalo Omar Basile, what a joke. He's been starched a few times, including an embarassing 1st round KO to Dimitrenko.

 

I could be wrong, but didn't Hopkins fight the WBA regular champ and Hopkins held the WBA super champ? It is rediculous. This is when Hopkins was the MW champ.

 

do you mean lightweight or light heavyweight ??? surely it cant be lightweight

 

Yeah, Hopkins fought Joppy when Joppy was WBA regular champ and Hopkins was the super champ because he was unidisputed at the time. After the fight, they gave Hopkins both WBA belts and he was listed as the regular champ and super champ for a few weeks until they declared the regular title vacant again and had Maselino Masoe and Evan Ashira fight for it.

 

You see, that is one of the biggest examples of this WBA b.s. So what, he beats the winner of that fight and gets another WBA belt and become a super, super, super champ.

 

The judges at least gave Alvarez one of the preceding three rounds. A KO loss to Alexeev is no disgrace, however Alvarez does not have any good wins to speak of so it does look like a KO win for Macca.

 

he is over 200 pounds bruv
