Hopefully to watch on TV,

UniversumBP is lookin to rebuild itself, with new TV-partners. I think its gonne be with Sport1. the last TVpartner, ZDF, realized that these crooked-up, no-matches, boring snooze fests couldnt draw anymore.
Many top boxers left Universum, early on The K-bros, followed by Sturm, Dzinziruk, Erdei, Susi, Golden-Jack and soon Golovkin. LOL at Gevor who left and come back, what a punk.

Gevor is with Ahmet Oner (Arena Box-Promotion) now.

I wouldn't have expected an Armenian to have a Turkish promoter.

Fu#king WBA and their "Regular" titles. It's funny how Povetkin did everything he could to avoid the Real Heavyweight Champion, and now he is fighting for the belt Wladimir just won.

you kidding right?

Stieglitz-Gevor was mainly promoted by SES, but this could have been Gevor's last fight with Universum.

well, Oner has got some of the best Cubans, and options on many fighters like Sturm, but hes the wrong person to contact if youre a young rising boxer (which Gevor aint).

Ps. Im just glad Ward and Dirrell hadnt signed up with Universum after the Olypmics. Thank God.

Yeah, the WBA is even more disgusting than the WBC, and that takes some doing. The WBA shouldn't even be considered a major belt. They spent the last decade running a circus with their hand-picked set of freaks and nobodies. Valuev and Ruiz. Old Holyfield. Roy Jones Jr. Ruiz Ruiz Ruiz. Only Chagaev had the guts to step up and challenge for the real title, and the WBA immediately stripped their belt away.

Will they even bother putting one of the fighters from their stable forward as the mandatory for Wladimir? Or will they just pretend he doesn't exist, except when they want a sanctioning fee from him?

And what happens if Wladimir fights the "regular" champion? Does he get that belt as well, or do they immediately appoint the next one on their list as "regular" champion?

WBA is the most powerful as the oldest body of the 4 majors and they dont give a fart about fairness.

Guillermo Jones was holding his belt for 2 years w/o any defence.
After 2 years he defended it and has had a fight set (June 25). what happened? he pulled out due to a lie.

Powerful promoter Sauerland didnt want Jones to fight that night and pulled all strings that his fighter Hernandez (interim-champ) will fight him next.

job done.


I dont want to talk about the other divisions. That was CW, not really an important division.

about the WBA mess in the middleweight division you can write a book.
Sturm has the money to buy him time.

[RSBonos]

Will Atlas grace us with one of his crazy rants about the 'ills of boxing' corruption and alphabet soups ruining the sport?

[Spit Venom]

OK, lemme give you some other examples:

the WBA mess at MW takes too long time...so

The Super SUper Super-champs:

Haye got elevated to this status of a Super champ, so he could fight Wladimir and avoid Chageav his mando, who is promoted by Universum.

Chris John never has to defend his title, hes doing great money in Indonesia.

Miguel Cotto doesnt need to defend his belt, he the super-champ now, you know.

Andre Ward is Super-champ, cuz Univesum promised Sartisan a title, congtraz!

Moreno, he got elevated too, he doesnt need to defend.

and so on
