Comments Thread For: Morrell-Ryder: WBA Grants Final 10-Day Extension To Reach Deal For Ordered Secondary Title Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

David Morrell will not be among those who will have to turn in his secondary title. That said, negotiations for his next ordered fight will have to reach a resolution to avoid that fate. The reigning WBA "World" Super middleweight titlist has been granted a ten-day extension to work out terms for a title defense versus mandatory challenger John Ryder. The twice-ordered title fight remains in play, though requiring stronger confirmation than has been provided to this point.

So they not stripping Morrell? So they are willing to target the easy ones. SMH

Put this in the other thread:

Ooh, does this mean the WBA will pit all of its diversity hire pbc regular wba champions against the super wba champions?
or are these consolidations only for interim belts or for fights that favor pbc?

If it looks like a cuck...
Sorry WBA, thanks for playing.

They haven't stripped Davis, text says nothing about being forced to fight either Lopez or Taylor, just to leave belt up for grabs for Colbert.
Colbert-Gutierrez which favors pbc
Figueroa-Fulton: no forced consolidation with Murodjon Akhmadaliev
Rigondeaux-Casimero: Russell-Rodriguez winner in line to pick up follow-up strap.
Morrell-Ryder: Morrell not forced to consolidate with Alvarez who would force Morrell to vacate his own title to avoid being put in a coma.
Isnt professional gift belt loser Rau’s**t Warren about to get another trinket fight?

Force Canelo to fight Morrell Jr. vs. Ryder winner! Get rid of the Gold title too!

[Oldskoolg]

If Morrel destroys Ryder then it’s time for the big time fights most ricky tick

As expected, WBA won't touch AJ and Canelo for now... Maybe GrandPac as well should he beat Ugas and mention that he'll continue fighting...

[Get em up]

So they will pick and choose which secondary titles they will get rid of..... that's fixing the problem right there. Why the hell can't there be 1 belt and a mandatory for said per org per weight class? It's not that complicated and it weeds out the weak.

Davis' issue needs to be resolved, no question. Historically, all sanctioning bodies have made such decisions based on communication w/ fighters and their teams, so entirely possible WBA knows something we don't yet know regarding Tank's next fight. But no question, whatever weight at which he fights, the other two titles need to be vacated to validate this movement.
Gutierrez-Colbert actually favors Golden Boy. PBC didn't ask for the fight and was expecting to have Colbert next fight Xavier Martinez.
Figueroa is going to be stripped once the Fulton fight happens. MJ is already fighting Ronny Rios. Next likely move is to have winners of MJ-Rios and Aleem-Roman meet.
Rigondeaux no longer has the title.
Russell-Rodriguez was downgraded from interim title to title eliminator before the fight, as we reported.
Morrell-Ryder was already ordered. Alvarez is in talks for his next fight. WBO mandatory will be due next in rotation, and three-belt unified titlists have up to 18 months for mandatory period (24 months if all four belts).
No proof that Rau'shee Warren is fighting for a vacant title his next fight. If it happens, you have your I-Told-You-So moment.

WBA is next in rotation once Usyk mandatory is done. All four sanctioning bodies are willing to allow undisputed championship to trump all. Absent that, Joshua-Usyk winner will very likely be ordered to next face Trevor Bryan, assuming the Manuel Charr lawsuit doesn't get in the way.

I'm really hoping that's the case...
