Does DDD get a pass

[famicommander]

It’s a fair point. Chisora is on a better run than he was when he fought Fury and it’s also a mandatory tbf to Dubois. The IBF rankings and rules again have to be questioned. How can Chisora-Wallin be a final eliminator? That’s the bigger question for me.

It originally wasn't a final eliminator; the winner was supposed to fight the winner of Bakole vs Ajagba in a final eliminator. But after Bakole got himself knocked out by Parker the IBF changed their mind, revoked the eliminator status of that fight, and just declared Chisora the mandatory challenger.

Bakole got what he deserved for chasing the money
And I’m a firm believer that anybody who can get through those first 5/6 rounds will get the victory against him

The winner was not suppose to fight Bakole Ajagba for final eliminator. Bakole Ajagba was meant to be final eliminator.

From what i can see the following has happened. Chisora vs Wallin was not a final eliminator. It was an eliminator, between 8th vs 10th in their rankings.


IBF ordered Bakole vs Kabayel for final eliminator. Kabayel pulled out for whatever reason, think his claim was Bakole wanted too much money. So IBF ordered Bakole vs Ajagba for IBF final eliminator. Bakole then accepted Parker fight on late notice and so was disqualified by IBF to be in a final eliminator next. Bakole lost. But Bakole Ajagba still made for May 2025, however no longer qualifies as an IBF eliminator so looks like in this case Bakole and Ajagba are now out of the picture for IBF

IBF decided that Chisora winning Wallin and Bakole Ajagba not fighting (they are now yes but Bakole fighting Parker disqualified that Ajagba fight from them letting it still be a final eliminator) and was good enough to shoot Chisora up to 2nd in their rankings and calling him mandatory.

That seems to be the reason but still think it is ******. Rather Kabayel be mandatory with the win over Zhang makes more sense but these organisations rankings and process are all ****

Why would he need to get a pass? It’s his mando.

Kabayel is Wbc interim. Organisations often don't even rank the guy that has the belt of other organisation.

Yes i know why but that is the ****** thing. One thing not ranking each others full champions is ****** enough. Even worse is them not ranking each others interim champs or if they fight for another organisations interim

So it essentially became a final eliminator, between two guys who shouldn’t be anywhere near the top 5. The IBF rankings are trash.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Every time the IBF does something good , they ended up up taking two steps back
Unfortunately it is what it is and can give the big doobie a break depending who is next after this fight

Their rankings are horrible, they really need a major restructure.

Restructure? Just shut them down, nothing would be lost by losing one of the governing bodies.

Hell, nothing would be lost by shutting down all of them.

As much as they’re frustrating, I wouldn’t want to see them go. Especially the WBC and WBA just because of the history.
