Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Drops WBC Belt: Chavez, Roach Cowards

[paulf]

Wait, what? Didnt the letter from the WBC published today kind of hint that Chavez was going to be stripped?

[chilost]

lol wait i thought that this " diamond belt" was an award and the fighters that won it did not have to defend it or pay sanc fees for it. it was theirs to keep as an throphy belt. I dont see manny defending his "diamond belt"

Now it's declared vacant??????????????? :RRONTFL: :RRONTFL:

what a joke, this belt was bogus to begin with so I dont know why Sergio was defending it like that for anyways...

defend the Ring MW belt and thats it.

good move by Martinez, now if I was him or his promoter, I would look into GBP or TopRank. Dibella hasn't serve him for anything good.

El apoderado del argentino Sergio Maravilla Martínez, el promotor Sampson Lewkovicz, aseguró que por el momento está prácticamente descartada una pelea entre el bonaerense y el titular regular de la división, el mexicano Julio César Chávez junior. La declaración se produjo luego de la reunión entre Lewkovicz y el presidente del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB), el mexicano José Sulaimán. Allí Sulaimán se mostró “******o” por la actitud asumida por los allegados a Chávez. En especial con su apoderado, el promotor Bob Arum, quien desconoce la “legitimidad institucional de la subasta de la pelea prevista para el viernes 6 de enero en el DF”, según comentó Sulaimán, quien agregó que “Chávez está dispuesto a enfrentar a Martínez pero el obstáculo se llama Bob Arum”.

Maravilla Martínez, campeón de diamante y emérito de los medianos del CMB, llegará hoy a Buenos Aires para pasar fin de año con sus familiares y mañana estará presente en la fiesta de la entrega de los premios Firpo que realiza anualmente la Unión de Periodista de Boxeo de Argentina (UPERBOX).

IDK about the "defend" thing, I don't think that's possible, however the WBC Diamond belt was charging some fees to Martinez so at least by dropping it he's not giving more money to the WBC.

The WBC will not care about this at all. They have Floyd at WW, and if Floyd leaves the belt or gets stripped, they have Pac, Ortiz, Berto etc. Then they have the wealthy Klitshckos at HW, they have Canelo and JCC jr at JMW-MW. Etc.

They do not care about Sergio. I expect some kind of article from WBC explaining their BS and empty words for Sergio, and the fans, to save face. They will try to legitimize what's been going on, by mentioning cute little numbers and rankings.

*** the WBC they don't care about Sergio because he doesn't have a big fanbase and isn't a big name. The Ring title should be the only belt around IMO. *** all these other titles, wbc, wba, wbo, ibf, ibo, nba, nabf, abc, def, ghi, jkl, mno, pqr, stu, vwx, yz.

Wish more fighters would start crapping all over these crooked organizations and their worthless belts.

Take a look at your sig lately?
