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

[techliam]

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.

Where'd you hear this from? This is certainly not the case. In most divisions, there aren't regular/super champs, just the normal WBA champion. Where there are regular/super titles, the Super belt is pretty much the champ for the WBA. The 'Regular' one is just a glorified mandatory.

Did you know, the WBA got this idea from Lennox Lewis? I don't think he wanted this disgrace though

This fight will be a snooze fest

I got trout

So Canelo is gonna have to fight Molina (unless Ortiz gets gifted) or Lara-Trout? I like. Lets hope Lara wins so we can see if Canelo has the balls to step up.

Gotta love these bogus title belts nowadays...you're either the "regular", "super", "interim", "half-assed", "runner up", "not this time" champion of the world...and that's just for one belt. How many titles do we have? WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF, etc...smh

I know this is from ESB, but the guy clearly read the rulebook:

http://www.boxing news24.com/2012/07/boxings-many-championships-explained/

"Regular champion: This is the man who is actually the champion. Except when there’s a super champion. Then, the regular champion is something less than a champion. He can still strut around calling himself the man, but in reality, if there’s a super champion, then the regular champion isn’t even the champion for his own sanctioning body.
"

Regular champ just means champ. Then you may or may not have a super champ, who doesn't have to defend against mandos at a normal schedule.

Regular as in the world title, the winner of Lara/Trout will be the real 154 world champion

WBA World light middleweight title ,Is Vacated

WBA interim light middleweight title , Is Lara

WBA Super light middleweight title, Is Floyd

I hope Lara whips Trouts ass and gets himself a Floyd fight. Huge long shot that happens but I hope it does. Canelo gonna fight Ortiz after he beats Molina.
