What a silly mess the WBC made of all this.
These WBC makes decisions in a way that seems like fans are not allowed to understand how they award shots. It is like trying to keep track of the little white ball in an Olympic Ping Pong match. You know it exists, but it just seems like it is a mirage.
Good News . Finally get this done. CruserWeight is one of my favorite division’s. Unless you follow the division No one really sees the excitement or entertainment it provides. These guys fight hard fast with power speed. It’s similar to by gone eras when the heavyweights were around the 200 Lbs range. Miakaelyan Jack helps to bring unification to the division.

Imo , it will bring bad publicity to the division
This is a farce in all aspects possible
