Dave:

I disagree in the sense that the analogies were pointing to clearly wrong decisions made where official verdicts were respected. Their ratings have their records official to TKO2 (for now)....the title status should read the same until the verdict is changed. That's my take. Not moving the Earth much either way I assume, but I think it's important not to change the approach to official verdicts.

I understand your point but my point is that there is nothing intellectually inconsistent about The Ring taking the position "we recognise official verdicts except in the highly unusual cases where it is known in advance that there is a very high chance that the official verdict will be overturned by the relevant boxing commission".

You used those analogies to imply that The Ring is being inconsistent, and I don't think they are.
