    Defend the belt against some scrub nobody has ever heard of. How many Cinkara fights have you watched?

    Enforcing the mandatories isn’t the problem. The standard of the rankings are.

      You shouldn't be able to get into a mandatory position by fighting the caliber of opposition Eifert has faced. Period.
      Completely agree. The standard of the IBF rankings are disgraceful.

              Guy beats Pascal then the waterworks start...
              Pascal had no business in an eliminator either. Meng ****** and Pascal was coming off a scorecard robbery and a multi-year PED suspension.

                  Yeah you’d really be in page 7 of this thread of you weren’t being emotional. Sheer delusion. The IBF rankings suck, it is what it is.

                    The IBF out here making the whiners cry again somehow.
                    i really don't know why they are crying. this fight blocks NOTHING. i would understand if it was this or zurdo. but it's this or nothing at all for 6+ months AND risk to lose his belt. jai is doing exactly what he should do, getting rid of his mandatory quickly to be free for bigger fights which ARE NOT available for 6 months at least. EVERY champion should do this.

                    obviously this is not a good fight but nobody has to watch or pay for it. it's infinitely better than not fighting though.
