Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Stripped of Middleweight Title By The WBO

Who cares. You a grown man Martinez. Just keep winning. Stay focused.

So, it was ok for Pavlik to hold the belts hostage and make **** defenses but Martinez gets stripped after his best performance without a defense.

its the profile stereotype by rich snobby boxing organisations. It beats me? how you could not like Martinez? He is good looking(no gay), athletic and exciting to watch. Pavlik appeals to the great American dream, the guy that every loves. They seem to think that Martinez is a typical Argentine fighter with a padded record.

Doesn't matter cuz I don't think Martinez will fight at 160 again..... Who's there 2 fight??? Paul Williams??? He fought him already, lost a close decision in a great fight but he's not in a rush 2 fight him again. Not that he's scared, he just wants 2 make some money now that he's hot. Mayweather vs Martinez at 154 should be his next fight. Pacquiao's 14 day cut off isn't good enough for Floyd so Sergio should go after him.

I think that Mayweather may only fight Serg at 160 for the WBC belt, with him coming in at 154.1

I think he wants the 6th divisional title, regardless of his "belts collect dust" comments.

Maybe he fights him at 154 for the money, I'm not sure?

Section 15 (c) of the WBO Regulations states that:
“A WBO Champion who wins a non-WBO Championship in a weight class that is different from the weight class in which he holds his WBO Championship must decide within ten (10) days of the non-WBO Championship which title and weight class he will retain. No WBO Champion may hold a non-WBO Championship title in a weight class that is different from the weight class of his WBO Championship.”

Good one, thanks for clearing that up.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The titles are all worthless, all top fighters should forsake the ABC organizations and fight for THE PEOPLES CHAMPIONSHIP.

1 title, 1 ranking system, 1 champion in each division.

Thats the only title that matters anyway.

AGREE Jack, good call.

Make it happen bro.

so he is no longer the undisputed middleweight champ?simply the wbc champion

WBC Champ, Ring Champ, and Lineal Champ.

This is compelte bull****, he could make the weights for all his titles. Its ok for Pavlik to pull out of fights with Mora and Repeatedly with Williams. Another reason why Alphabet straps are worthless on their own.
Finally a great MW champ and they strip him

wannabe gods never want anything they can't control.. look around

**** bets man. Boxers need to keep refusing to even keep them. The ring is all we need.
