The fight Thursday was #1 (USS) vs. #2 (TA) on their rankings, and so by their criteria is eligible (but not mandatory, they make curious editorial decisions sometimes) for the magazine title.

I believe they said it was for the ring belt. Everything I saw leading up to the fight said that. -

Adamek-Jones fight would be awesome, then he can deserve it.
He's only fought 5 times at cruiser though so that's why I want it.
And Jones unlike Adamek, got robbed against Cunningham years ago.
They should have that fight in Poland.Comment
