Since when did Maidana become world champion?

He's the Regular Champion - go figure. It means absolutely nothing and 100% of the board agree with that. A better title would be Mandatory Titler or Interim.

EDIT: And Maidana isn't a bum, mate. I think you're crazy.

No one really recognises him as a champion.

He is certainly one of the better 140lbers in the world, better than other fighters who have had worthless world titles.

The regular champion title is worthless. Like Povetkin is the regular champion.

Everyone knows the super champions Wlad K and Amir Khan are the real champions.

As long as WBA are getting their sanctioning money they don't care who they give it too & since Maidana is a quite busy fighter through out the year, the more $$ for them.

Not to mention that Brandon Rios is a faux champion as well.

I'm just waiting to see who they're going to make Assistant Regular Champ.

Maidana isn't good enough to become world champion. That's why he lost to Kotelnik and Khan. Maidana was the interim champion when he fought Khan. Maidana loses and guess what... the WBA gives him a handout and lets him immediately fight for the vacant interim belt again. This is crazy. Can you imagine Amir losing the WBA world title and then fighting for the same title in his next fight?

The crazy part is not only him immediately fighting for the interim belt again, it's against who he is fighting it for. Erik Morales, a shot to **** career featherweight. It was clear that the whole set-up was to make Maidana the interim champion again. But Maidana is such a big bum that he couldn't even beat a shot to s*t career featherweight.

And now, Maidana is getting yet another handout. The WBA has made him world champion...

What a fraud.

How many more handouts will this bum get?

chino is not a bum

that's been established

you are the biggest nut hugger on this site

that's also been established.

kotelnik lost to maidana (he beat alexander pretty soundly, though imo. he's a solid fighter with very good defensive skills and a great chin. no bum.)
that's been established to everybody who watched that fight.
who cares about judges . go get your own scorecard and watch the fight. chino is the cleaner and more effective puncher. kotelnik cant break an egg with those things.

maidana certainly isn't a top flight and elite fighter. but with the way they hand "world titles" out these days, i could certainly think of less deserving fighters
and if joe cortez hadn't been around to protect him late in the maidana fight he very well could have a spot at the top of 140 right now and a knockout victory over khan

anybody worth a left nut in boxing will tell you that cortez blew that fight
and took far too many opportunities to break them when khan was obviously hurt and unable to tie chino up effectively (for a ref to call break a fighter must be tied up completely. if you have a free hand the referee cannot break you. this is pro boxing. you are allowed to work if your opponent isn't strong enough to tie up both hands and have the ref break you apart.)

Since when did Maidana become world champion?
