LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – World Boxing Organization (WBO) Jr. Heavyweight champion Marco Huck was honored today in the first day of works of the 27th Annual Convention taking place at the Caesar’s Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, dedicated to former WBO champions and 2014 International Boxing Hall of Fame Inductees Joe Calzaghe and Oscar de la Hoya.

The works started with the annual reports of the regional Vice-Presidents, the Treasurer and the president, Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel.

Wow, such a monumental event. I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news

Just another way to showcase Huck's superiority over Nelson.

You're either a champion or you're not. This regular/super thing is what you call a "con job".

it's amazing what a career Huck is having with his elementary style,he is a very tough man!

If any division needs unification to give it some credence, then it has to be cruiserweight!

O.o now a WBO "Super" belt here we go soon everybody will have a "World" champion and a "Super" champion

I think it's wrong that the top 1% of fighters possess 50% of the belts.

There should be a special belt for all of us, just graduating from college should legally guarantee you some kind of belt.

The guy has avoided unifications his entire 13 defence run,fought Afolabi three times,Arslan twice,that's right five of his defences against two guys ! Whilst he could have been rematching and proving himself no doubts better than USS and Lebedev.it is a woeful shame this guy has been elevated,all it does is give him yet more time to avoid mandatories and cherry pick the top 15 of the diluted wbo cruiser rankings.the thought of Mchunu within the rankings and the fact Ryabinsky says Chakhkiev is going after one of the belts not held by a Russian must really have him and Kalle shook to the point they must have lobbied for 'super' status so to avoid a mandatory defence before he moves up to heavy for the money fights.

I really don't rate Kapt'n at all,his record is truly is the epitome of a padded record and not without a dubious decision or two.

I was under the impression that it did absolutely nothing other than give someone else the "regular" title. So if you don't like Huck you should be glad that he was uh "elevated".

The super BS isn't a reward so much as a way to keep the conveyor belt of champions moving.
