    On B-Scene.

    His mandatory Gannady Golovkin will challange for the vacant "regular title".

    I heart the WBA...

    I give Sturm a lot of credit for perseverance. He sure has lasted and put his all out.

    They did the same to Margarito after he beat Cotto.

    Apearently there are "special circumstances" that one can become "Super Champion" with no other title...

    Can't post a direct like to it for some reason but it under the "World Champions" catagory.

    Good luck understanding it...

    Ok enough is enough. The WBA is out of control. It was bad enough when they made the "super" and "regular" title when someone unified but now this is just crazy.

    Yes, and if you beat the "super-duper-champ," you become Super-Duper-Pooper-Champ

    Its been in the WBA rules for ages..."if the champ has 5 or more title defences he can be elevated to super champ and the WBA World title will become vacant"

    Thats not the problem...the problem is how the hell did Sturm get away with not fighting his mandatory in Golovkin?

    Since when?

    Margarito didn't even defend his title once and he even got elevated.
