WBC can simplify the whole Garcia-Matthysse Situation

[HaglerSteelChin]

Matthysse has the interim WBC title and should be the number 1 ranked challenger for Garcia who is the regular champion. They can give Garcia up to a year to fight Matthysse or simply strip him of the title. We saw how they stripped Sergio and gave it to Sebastian Zbik. WBC is known for stripping when fighters are ducking as Riddick Bowe-Lennox Lewis about 20 years ago. WBC has stripped more guys than a Rikers Island correctional officer.

They need to put Garcia on the spot, than we will see if GBP will have their fighter duck. However, the politics of GBP and WBC being cozy may prevent the WBC from doing such a ballsy move.

Yeaa.... you're forgetting the WBC doesn't care about anything.

Mando defense is once ever 6 months

LOL yea they often remake the rules. If a guy gets injured or if they move up in weight they can extend that 6-month period. Some sanctioning bodies would even declare a champion in 'recess.' This what the WBC did with Bradley when he moved up to WW and failed to defend his title, eventually Morales go the JR WW title when he fought Cano.

However, i do think Garcia-Matthysse will go down.

Doesn't matter. It's not up to the WBC. It's up to the Golden Boy and Haymon.

They strip everyone but Mayweather

Give Garcia a year? Umm **** that. His time is already up.

. . . and for what should be such an easy fight to make it sure seems to be taking some time! less than 12 weeks to the proposed date . . .

12 weeks is 3 months. Training camps are only 2 months. There's plenty of time.

Where are people getting all this **** that Garcia doesn't want to fight Lucas??? You people act like you heard it straight from the man himself that we won't get in that ring with Lucas.

They'll probably try and claim they did next.
