That list really says everything about the corruption of the WBA, from the mess that represents some of the divisions to having to use the word "ostensibly" with any title defense involving Canelo. Thanks to David Greisman for putting it together. I learned recently, thanks to another poster, that WBC rules in fact explicitly do not guarantee a mandatory title shot to an interim titlist, which seems, honestly, bizarre. I haven't yet dug into the WBA rules, but it makes me wonder if they have similar "you only get a shot if we say so, otherwise you sit on our fake belt and pay us sanctioning fees" BS going on, as they have a long and egregious history for doing already.

Tank vs Zepeda

Tank couldn't Stop a 130 Pounder Roach (who didn't clinch or run), got a gift Draw (should have been a lost).

Zepeda couldn't stop a 130 Tevin who was excessively clinching and moving backwards all night.
