Vanes is probly hapy as hell after all that bitching

[The Hammer]

Another pointless fight and mismatch.

This is what's wrong with the sport of boxing. A journeyman like Saul Roman fighting for a "silver" WBC title?

Shady old Arum sets it up so Vanes gets a belt without needing to earn it.

[Evil Abed]

If the winner gets Canelo than I don't care.

It's a sh%t match-up.

But at least it sets the stage for Vanes-Canelo.

A Journeymen Has Got To Eat Too

Well he's earned at least a shot to become the mandatory at this point in his career. He's not getting younger.

At least this is a fight between two top 10 guys (according to wbc) in the JMW for an eliminator... this doesnt make Vanes the champ, it makes him the mandatory for Canelo which is why i love the fight...

co-sign... lets hope vanes-saul happens and the stage is set for a staples center clash.. hopefully top rank and golden girl can put their differences aside and deliver us this matchup... come to think of it, cant the wbc force the fight by putting up a purse bid if the promoters cant come to an agreement?
