Comments Thread For: Murodjon Akhmadaliev-Marlon Tapales: IBF Formally Orders Mandatory Title Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Murodjon Akhmadaliev's quest for undisputed championship status will be slowed by at least one mandatory title defense. The unified IBF/WBA junior featherweight titlist has been ordered to next defend versus IBF number-one contender Marlon Tapales. The fight was formally ordered by the New Jersey-based sanctioning body on January 4, with the two sides given until February 2 to work out a deal to avoid a purse bid hearing.

and MP Promotions’ Sean Gibbons (Tapales)

Will Seany allow his guy to fight on an "illegitimate" network?

Does this mean MJ now has three mandos?

Raeese Aleem dropped the ball with his Situation, I guess he expected to get the winner of Fulton vs Figueroa but he should've took his shot at MJ when he was #1. Then WBA ordered him to fight Azat in which that bid was only for 80K then he decided to go another direction and is now completely out of the WBA Rankings.

Damn, this sucks! Was really looking forward to Fulton vs. MJ! I guess we get Fulton vs. Roman? Sounds good to me! MAN UP!

He should fight the winner of Nery vs. Castro!

MA is gonna lose the IBF belt, Tapales is a different breed now from his last loss.
