Comments Thread For: Matias-Ponce: TGB Promotions ($510,000) Wins Rights As Lone Bidder For Vacant IBF Title Fight

Forgive me for my ignorance but hiw is the Ibf belt meaningless?

Because Taylor is the one and only world champion. Any alphabet belt that he vacated is just that, an alphabet belt. Until Taylor loses or vacates the WORLD title, he is the champion.

Taylor lost to Catterall and showed no interest in defending his titles against his mandatory challengers.

Damn. Neither takes a step back. Both throw, ALOT. Ponce body game is nice, with a helluva jab but resume is a tad bit lacking. Matias is an excellent combo/volume puncher but defense is lacking, good chin though. Both have got up off the canvas. We shall see who wins. Great matchup on paper, either way.

Because the mandos are more dangerous than catterall. Imho.
