Classless move by the WBO to decide to strip Algieri of his 140 lbs title after it had already been made clear upon signing the Pacman fight at the catchweight of 144 lbs that he would retain his belt at 140 lbs. Now the WBO is rescinding that decision 3 weeks prior but gives him an award for being an example of a great sportsman at their 27th annual convention this week.
Just after giving Algieri the "WBO Gordy Volkman Award" this week, which is supposed to an award to represent "high values" given to an athlete that is "a good example for all" at the 27th annual WBO Convention, they do him dirty by taking his belt they had promised he would retain. Oh the irony! lmao
The kid just won the belt in June so whats the problem? Especially since he was told he would retain it by going up to fight Pac at a catchweight.
Now thats some SHADY stuff right there!! Makes it even worse that they give him that award and then behave in a way that is exactly opposite of what they are rewarding him for. smdh
