With Kovalev dropping the decision to Ward that puts him in the position to face Ward for the lineal title in the rematch and cement his place as the man of the division, an opportunity he might not have had if he won.
I'm not big on Adonis, but he is the lineal champ and until he loses he retains that. Unfortunately he knows this and is holding the WBC and lineal title hostage.
How does this change the lineal title? If there's an immediate rematch it'll be for the same 3 belts and Adonis will keep holding the WBC and lineal titles while pretending he really wants to fight either Ward or Kovalev
Is that loser still relevant? I thought we all agreed he was a fraud and unrecognized him as champion.
Just checked Ring and that stripped him but TRBR still recognizes him so nevermind.
