Can’t even make this up lads somehow the wbc have decided to change history and retroactively give Jeff the belt over 30 years after his fight officially ended in a draw. This could seriously set a dangerous precedent for boxing if these crazy alphabet organizations can just ignore the official record and award someone a championship regardless of the result. What’s next Cory Spinks becomes a middleweight champion because he drew with Jermain? How about Castano was undisputed at 154 because he drew in a fight he probably won. Let’s just change history
You always had a great sense of humour, don't ever lose it !
Thank you bro…
I put my sisters to task
send me tamales.. they will each assume a my other sister will send me tamales…
I know already that nothing edible will be sent..
my Japanese version of a green card is going to get denied
the good news is… I’m going to evict my sister and cousin from a home I bought with coke money
that’s a silver lining
Fenech won that fight, without a doubt. Huge red flags of corruption.
"Reversing" the decision, in a sport with a long, long history of terrible decisions, could open the floodgates though.
I'd like to see more accountability for poor judging, before anything else.
Im just an old grumpy cnt been around boxing my whole life, Im here just to upset the young fellas, keep it grounded lol
I know Jeff personally he was a very hard man, that fight really messed his head up he lost so much desire after that.
I’m a knuckle drawer and stupidly silly beyond belief
This is what happens when you have a corrupt organization, based out of a corrupt third world country, ran by a corrupt "man" with a room temperature IQ.
We need a rich european to purchase the WBC from that subhuman Sulaiman.
You are a king and great poster!
respect!
let’s never let the sweet science die!

So Golovkin will now get 2 wins over Canelo. Perfect.
I enjoy watching Cinnabon Canelo get slapped up!
im a Chicano and my sister married a worthless pos from Guadalajara
everybody likes him, but I don’t!
he added zero to my family and he is a POS
war Bivol
i want Ward to beat the crap outta Canelo
"Most observers around the world, including the Showtime commentary team, felt a Fenech victory was a foregone conclusion".
Thats a goddamn understatement. Daylight fuqen Don King robbery. Theres no danger with rescoring robberies as egregious as this one.
They should investigate ALL the worst robberies so the cvnts who got bribed get held responsible. Set the record straight.
Why stop there? WBC going have to reverse its many many dodgy decisions.
Yeah its a pandoras box.
That loss actually ruined Jeff he was never the same after it
For those that haven't seen the fight its a classic

The first fight which ended in a draw has been “re scored” by the wbc and they decided Jeff won the fight so they elevated him to 4 weight world champion despite his official record showing he won major titles in only 3 divisions
Really I haven't seen anything in the news here about it, I did think he was robbed in that fight but still, it should never happen.
Yeah here it is.
Australian boxing legend Jeff Fenech has been retroactively awarded a fourth world title, righting one of the great wrongs in the sport's history.
At the World Boxing Council convention on Tuesday, Fenech was awarded the WBC super-featherweight belt, 30 years after he first fought for it.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán explained a "special committee" was formed to review Fenech's first fight with Azumah Nelson.
"All the ring officials from all over the world score the bout in favour of Jeff Fenech," attendees in Acapulco, Mexico were told.
"The WBC board of governors approve the motion to crown Jeff Fenech to become a four-time world champion."
Hang on what are you talking about, he fought Nelson 3 times
