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

[flint]

so whose the WBA alternate champion?

so whose the WBA alternate champion?

Floyd is Super Champ
Lara is interim champ
Lara/Trout will be Regular champ

Regular champ is just another way of collecting fees from the mandatory challenger. Which is pointless because I doubt Lara/Trout will get the Floyd fight regardless.

Who'd wanna watch this fight? It will be a snooze fest, a jabbing, hugging contest.

Im taking Lara in this one and im pretty pumped for it. Lara can be tough to hit if your not constantly pressuring him. I think he UDs Trout.

Actually regular champ most of the time is what you'd consider champ, since in most divisions regular is all you have, and super champs have a much less frequent mandos. It makes sense here since they know Floyd likely won't fight a mando, so they reward the top contenders. But they'll probably declare the interim belt vacant asap.

WBA is getting as bad as the WBO with all these belts. This is a fight that makes alot sense I wishes it made The One PPV like it was suppose to.

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.

Canelo was never the Super champ, Boxrec simply got it wrong. Floyd has never dropped his "Super" title which he won from Cotto.

The "Super" title is the only one that matters

The WBA were supposed to be phasing these awful belts out, but I guess since it's Mayweather, they think it's neccessary as he's probably not going to be defending that belt (and has 18 months till he's stripped)
