Comments Thread For: Hopkins Ordered To Face Dudchenko-Mohammedi Winner

[richardt]

This is someone's idea of a sick joke. And against made up names where someone threw scrabble pieces on the floor and picked up a random bunch of letters and decided to name their children from the random letters.

It doesnt say he must fight them next, only that it will decide his mando

IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Bernard Hopkins must face the winner of the Dudchenko-Mohammedi fight as his next mandatory opponent.

If he wants to keep the IBF strap he has to fight the winner next unless an exception is granted (i.e. porter vs Paulie with the winner fighting brook)

[Juof]

how are these two fighting for the mandatory when no ones even heard of them surely theres more well known fighters who are higher than these nobodies

Who cares? He's fighting Stevenson then retiring.

Unifications take precedence over mandos no?

Yes you can skip Mandatory for a unification but the WBC doesn't like Unification and could order Stevenson/Fonfara winner too fight Isaac Chilemba next

[daggum]

at least kovalev will get another belt since stevenson and hopkins are playing duck duck goose. it should be his belt anyway that he won from campillo. he should actually have both of hopkins belts.

[Hougigo]

Should only exempt for unification

i hope they do that. then kovalev can fight chilemba and gather up all the belts while stevenson-hopkins winner stays ducking.
