Comments Thread For: Janibek Alimkhanuly-Liam Smith: WBO Orders Mandatory Middleweight Title Fight

[Boxing 112]

I thought that was the case, but why would they go ahead with the order? WBO is funny because I noticed they never ordered Crawford vs. Ortiz Jr.???

Crawford Ortiz Jr was not due yet anyway i think Crawford has till like June till wbo mando due. And don't think Ortiz team would want him in with Crawford yet anyway

Hope it gets sorted - nice fight that.

Hard to imagine Eubank agreeing unless the step aside includes a shot at the winner.

Good fight, hope it happens. The jury is still out on Janibek, I certainly haven't seen any compelling evidence yet.

Laim Smith must rematch Eubank jr.

[Boricua181]

I don't understand the WBO either!

Don't waste your time trying to understand any of these boxing organization's, they all run their organization's like a criminal syndicate.

Laim Smith must rematch Eubank jr.

I'm not feeling the same urgency you are.

[Boxing Beast]

Sounds good to me. Nice solid contender for Janibek to retire or get eaten by.

Think he might. Don't think there is anything like the bad blood between them like there is with Saunders. And it gives the very real chance for Eubank to fight for a title even if he does have to wait longer to fight Smith.

It would be smart for Eubank to delay the rematch until after this.

If Smith wins this, Smith-Eubank II would be bigger as a world title fight. If Smith loses, maybe he gets beat down badly and is easier work for Eubank after that.
