Zab Is Still The IBF Welterweight Champion...

[Truth]

"NEWS FLASH
Judah still IBF champion!
IBF championship chairman Lindsey Tucker has cleared up some confusion concerning the status of Zab Judah after his loss to Carlos Baldomir on January 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Judah is still the IBF welterweight champion because his title was not on the line as Baldomir did not comply with IBF rules for sanction.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baldomir did not pay IBF sanction fees.
Rule 2.B: Sanction Fees – In each title contest, the promoter must submit payment of the entire sanction fee for promoter and contestants to the IBF/USBA Bout Supervisor at the Rules Meeting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baldomir did not participate in the second day weigh-in.
Rule 1.F: Second Day weigh-In – There shall be a second weigh-in on the morning of the event. At this weigh-in, boxers cannot weigh more than 10 pounds over the weight limit. If either boxer does not make the weight, the fight cannot proceed as a Championship bout.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an aside, a condition of sanction is that all boxers fighting for IBF titles must become a participant in the IBF retirement and trust plan. This is a savings plan for boxers to ensure that they have some money put aside when they retire from boxing. Baldomir refused to join the plan.

i thought his remaining titles would be vacated.

[Hitman932]

he probably still has a **** and two balls too

but theyre tucked so far between his legs you would never know

[EXIGE]

Baldomir > Judah, we all know that.

His tittle should be vacated, Judah does not diserve to hold a tittle. Sorry to say that but he really doesn't.

[DiegoFuego]

LMAO, Baldomir is the linear Welterweight Champion. I cringe at how far this division has fallen since Forrest and Mayorga were champs.

[DIEGO DA HITMAN]

i thought his remaining titles would be vacated.

I thought that, too. That should be the case. For this guy to be called a "champion", is a travesty. I can't wait for him to take another ass-whippin'. He doesn't respect the sport, and neither does his dad. He has a ton of talent, but he doesn't want to prepare for fights, and wants to blame everyone else for his monumental screw-ups. He doesn't deserve the Mayweather fight or the purse, but at this point, I just wanna see Floyd bust him up.

[psychopath]

If that's IBF ruling so be it. But it doesn't help Zab Judah much in retaing that belt because of technicality. His reputation and stature has greatly been dammaged by that loss to Baldomir and that belt won't help him save face.

[{BrownBomber}]

what pisses me off the most about this piece of **** is that he could have fought and lost to a person who actually deserved to fight for the belts, but No he goes out and chooses the biggest dumb **** and manges to ****ing loose.the only welter weights that deserve to be called champs were Forrest and Margarito other than that its a crap hole.

[bumboclott]

he's still a bum. His dad ain't even a real trainer either.. "HE BEAT BALDOZAR!!" hah
