would've been interesting bout w/contrasting styles...& it was a surprise Ioka vacated...IMO sounds like cold feet about Cuello...@ least Cuello is not hesitant 2 travel 2 other countries 2 box, he's xciting 2 watch...

Ioka had two different mandatories and had to choose 1. it's too bad the WBC enforces it's rules when the fighter isn't a superstar.

it's BS like this that makes unification almost impossible unless the fighter is a huge draw.

why wasn't Ioka made WBA super champ? I thought the point of that belt was that a unfied champ wouldn't have to worry so much about mandatories coming from all corners..
