The WBC 147 tournament is pathetic and makes no sense.
These are the top 8 fighters currently with the WBC @ 147
1 .- Amir Khan (GB) SILVER
2 .- Danny Garcia (US)
3 .- Shawn Porter (US)
4 .- Robert Guerrero (US)
5 .- Brandon Rios (US)
6 .- Konstantin Ponomarev (Russia) NABF
7 .- Andre Berto (US)
8 .- Ray Robinson (US)
The highest ranked candidate always fights the lowest ranked candidate.
Round 1
Khan v Robinson - Khan wins by a landslide
Garcia v Berto - Garcia wins comfortably
Porter vs Ponomarev - Porter wins by a landslide
Guerrero vs Rios - Rios wins
Semi Finals
Khan v Rios - Khan wins
Garcia v Porter - Porter is the favourite, but Garcia always finds a way to win.
Final
Garcia v Khan II - 50/50 fight. If Garcia connects it could be lights out for Khan once again, but if Khan sticks to boxing, he could be in with a win.
1)Why won't WBC just order Khan v Garcia II for January 9th? Why make the fans have to endure, boring a series of boring matchups, only to be left a Khan v Garcia or Khan v Porter Matchup all the way in 2017?
2)What purpose does a 147 tournament serve, when the WBC won't recognise, the likes of Thurman, Pacquiao & Brook, arguably the Top 3 Welters in the World? Not forgetting, Timothy Bradley, Diego Chaves, Errol Spence & Sadam Ali, who either aren't ranked or are ranked very low.
3)Which TV Stations would show a Khan v Robinson & Porter v Ponomarev fight? Who would buy tickets to watch these matchups? How will the WBC be able to generate $1.5 Million Dollar + purses for the likes of Garcia, Berto & Khan when they fight these no name opponents.
4) Will the Khan's, Porter's and Garcia's even accept the tournament, and will they be given clearance by Haymon?
The WBC should order Garcia v Khan II immediately. They can have a tournament amongst those ranked below these 2, for a mandatory spot. They should stop lying to the boxing world about trying to get the best to fight the best, when they refuse to recognise the best guys in the division. Another scheme by the Wretched WBC to make $$$ from sanctioning all these bouts. Remember folks, it was only 1 year ago, when the WBC were about to go bankrupt.
