Comments Thread For: Lara vs. Trout To Have "Regular" WBA Title at Stake

[GodInFleshSuit]

Lost me at "Regular". Sick of all these bs belts.

I believe Austin Trout will win this match. Lara didn't look too good against Angulo and Trout is a very good boxer, I think he wins a UD in this fight.

Wait.

According to Boxrec, Canelo won the Super version of the title off of Trout. I thought Trout was the "regular" champ while Floyd had been the "Super" champ since Cotto.

So did they strip Floyd when he fought Guerrero and promote Canelo to "Super" champ? I thought that unifying WBA titles would eliminate the "regular" version, as with Klitschko-Povetkin.

This **** is disgusting.

Pfft! The "regular" belt is aight but the big boys fight for the "regular regular" belt.

LOL at boxing today Trout was the WBA world champion, Canelo beat him too become the WBC & WBA world champion , then Floyd beats Canelo now out of nowhere Floyd is WBA super champion... LOL

Pacquiao is 0 - 2 in his last 2 fight and if you look at the WBO ranking Pac is the new WBO super champion ( Bradley WBO world champion)

Wait so Trout loses his title, then gets a shot for the vacant one again.. still the "regular" champion.. Great.

Trout was the regular WBA champ going into the fight vs. Canelo. Since that fight was a unification, the WBA Super title should have been on the line, but since there already was a WBA Super champion, Floyd Mayweather, Canelo (the winner of the fight) because the WBA Unified Champ, which I guess is a step up from Regular champ, but still below Super champ.

Klitschko-Povetkin did not eliminate the Regular title, you can't eliminate the Regular title in the WBA. The WBA will soon order a fight for the vacant Regular WBA Heavyweight title.

As a side note, the WBA recently promoted Beibut Shumenov to Super champ at 175 because he's has such a great reign so far, so soon their will be another Regular champ at 175.

WBA.
