    Beibut Shumenov - How Does This Guy Exist?

    WBA champion with only 8 fights?

    Hard to believe but it gets worse when you realize he lost the title fight but then (somehow) got an instant rematch

    And he hasn't defended his title in over a year - why hasn't he been stripped? and why hasn't the title happy WBA created an interim title?

    If he was Mexican like JCC Jr or Canelo, I could maybe understand but why are the WBA looking to appeal to the Kazakh audience?

    Make Golovkin vs Shumenov... It would be a super fight in Kazakhstan.

      He shouldn't exist or have a title Campillo clearly won their rematch and was robbed.

        Someone at the WBA is the happy owner of a ****-load of Kazakh oil-field share options....

          Hes had 14 fights, but sure, it is a weird situation here. Rigo had way less fights, but I guess he had a massive olympic background (should this really matter?). He beat the champ, so..

            2 fights in 2 years. Does make you wonder why the WBA haven't shát out another belt yet.
