Comments Thread For: IBF pulls sanctioning from Jai Opetaia-Brandon Glanton with Zuffa belt at stake

[DClefthook]

rules are rules - folks can't just do whatever they want - all good though - win/win - free to pursue the Zuffa Leaguer cruiserweight promoter's strap

Hot damn right!!

This is fair and square by the IBF.
Zuffa are announcing a championship belt that has no legitimacy. How can they expect the IBF to follow along?
Zuffa jumped the gun in my opinion, they should have waited to have the legislation in place for them to be able to sanction their own championship.
It's all smoke and mirrors at the minute.

Yup! Looks like Mr Daryl Peoples read my post last week. ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBLE DIPPING! If Jai wants to be Zuffa champ in their lil Mickey Mouse league then by all means go ahead. Leave us alone. They should strip Usyk and any other belt holder who signs with Dana. All sanc bodies should completely ignore DUFFUS boxing!

What legislation do they need to invent a belt? Loads of belts have been invented offer the last few years.

IBF now need to follow up with demanding that a mandatory defence is undertaken within the next 3 months

Did you read the article? What Zuffa is doing is not in line with the ali act and currently the act is not changed in their favor

The Games have started but this is exactly what Zuffa wants. They use Jai Opetaia as their puppet. A guy recognized as the best CRuiser that now got stripped because of the "old rules" of boxing. They will brainwash him since he is quiet slow and they will put out their propaganda machine to win the battle convincing the casuals that the sanctioning bodies are the problem.

The fact is Zuffa made it clear they will not work with any of the 4 and they did not work with the IBF to have this fight sanctioned. The IBF had to do this move but it is a move that was designed by Zuffa and will play into their hands.

Zuffa will take over and in 10 years boxing is dead. But at the end the sanctioning bodiesand the promoters with their different networks are to blame. They allowed a real dictator to enter the game that will brainwash the sheeps and when people wake up it's too late

The best thing for the "old system" in this old system vs TKO/Zuffa war that can happen is Opetaia getting knocked out. But Zuffa knows this and that's why they picked an opponent even worse than Opetaias last opponents

Money speaks louder than belts.

But if he doesn't fight a ring Top 10 guy in the next 2 months, he should be stripped of the Ring title too, in accordance to their rules (if they follow their own rules *roll eyes*)...

...so actually he won't be recognised as the default best Cruiser either. Just Zuffa champion.

if and that is a big if it turns into a good fight which last about seven or 8 rounds with some back and forth and a cut and some knock downs and a little controversy inside the ropes the belt or so called belt will not matter. Most belts are half manufactured anyhow with the way match making is done these days anyhow. Just want and need good fights inside the ring and everyone even Zuff will be happy. They keep getting ink and that is what they want more then anything well eye balls too........................
