Ring magazine title at stake tonight?

[Jack_DempseyCSC]

I'm assuming it is i've just not seen it mentioned in build up,just WBA,WBO,IBF and IBO.

[Rick Grimes]

Yes, the title is up for every fight the champion is in.

ok thanks,i thought so but wasn't 100%

[paypayvay]

i don't understand why the ibo is in the mix , who gives a **** about that shi**y belt ? why do fighters keep supporting these organizations by paying them their money ? i don't get it

Incorrect, the ring magazine belt is only up for grabs when the top 2 fighters in each division square off, sometimes there's an exception if no.1 and no.3 fight. That's why the term "Lineal" is always associated with the ring belt

wTF ?
wlad is already the champion , that's why the title is on the line , and that's what he meant

[a-force]

He said the title is on the line everytime the champion fights, this isn't true. If vlad was fighting audley Harrison then the ring belt wouldn't be up for grabs due to audley being ranked so low, In the unlikely event that the low ranked fighter actually winning then the ring belt would just become vacant.

So........

The belt is NOT up for grabs everytime the champ fights, which is what I was saying in the original post

by " the champ " he meant the ring magazine champ , in this case it's wlad, everytime the ring magazine champion fights, his title is on the line . that's what he said

Then he is wrong, look up the ring magazine belt and you'll see what I mean.

Tonights fight, the ring belt will be on the line because vlad is the ring champ and Haye is 3rd in the rankings(exception clause exploited due to the 2nd ranked fighter being vitali who will never fight vlad because they're bro's)

But say the ring champ, any division would take a relatively easy fight and fight someone outside the top 3 or below then the ring wouldn't recognize the fight as "being up for grabs"

THEREFORE THE RING BELT IS NOT UP FOR GRABS EVERYTIME THE RING CHAMP FIGHTS, ONLY IF THE CHAMP IS FIGHTING THE NUMBER 2 RANKED FIGHTER OR IN SOME CASES(tonight) THE NUMBER 3 RANKED

NO , that's how you win a vacant ring belt , not how you defend it

joe calzaghe was not even a ranked light heavyweight when he took the title from hopkins
