Comments Thread For: Dzinziruk Gets Stripped, Baysangurov The New Champ

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Organization has stripped Sergei Dzinziruk (37-1, 23KOs) of his junior middleweight title. Dzinziruk has not made a defense since last May's technical knockout of Daniel Dawson. He fought once in 2011, at middleweight, and was knocked out by WBC champion Sergio Martinez in March. He was scheduled to face mandatory challenger Lukas Konecny (47-3, 22KOs) on September 30, but withdrew with an injury. Interim champion Zaurbek Baysangurov (26-1, 20KOs) has been upgraded to the title status of "full champion."

Pretty sure he doesn't care as long as he gets his HBO time again. Speaking of which, how's that going for you, Sergei?

Dzinziruk vs Lara needs to happen. Would have been nice if the title was on the line though.

They probably don't want to deal with the thousands of hate filled emails, snail mails, and phone calls they would receive for trying to strip a title from the pacman...

I like Baysangurov too but Konecny better get a shot against him and not get screwed over here.

I believe Mike Jones is Pacquiao's mandatory. Bob Arum also promotes him so Arum probably just told him to step aside for now and he'll get his shot eventually. If Jones isn't asking to fight Pac, then the WBO must be okay with it even if he's the mandatory. Plus I don't think even Jones thinks he's ready for Pacquiao.

Baysangurov-Konecny will be a good fight.

Zaurbek is promoted by K-2, Konecny by SES promotions.

Dzinziruk has been the victim of bad management, starting with Klaus-Peter Kohl a few years ago. He was never brilliant to begin with, but he was decent. He's oneof many fighters who have declined due to inactivity.

As it stands, Baysangurov may get pushed into a fight against Konecny - and the WBO has ordered the winner to make a mandatory defense against Dzinziruk within 120-days of their win.

Can anyone explain me that mess of a sentence?

Then they should move jones from the mandatory sPot
