since adamek dropped out i think they should give pulev the mandatory spot since they did that for thompson when chambers backed out with an injury.

It seems the IBF has a double standard.

When Chambers dropped out of the four-fighter IBF eliminator, Tony Thompson was granted mandatory status.

But now when Adamek has dropped out, instead of granting Pulev mandatory status, they come up with a second semi-final eliminator. So Pulev has to wait more long months before fighting the winner of this one.

It's really not fair, especially considering Fury and Pulev have done way more than Thompson or Chambers to earn their shots.

Wish I lived closer to NYC or Vegas. All we get in Atlanta are 'foregone conclusion' fights.
