Comments Thread For: Sadam Ali Awaits Bradley Bout or Shot at Vacant Title

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

You can still expect Sadam Ali to fight for a world title next year — the question still remains, however, whom it will come against.

Ali is the mandatory challenger for the World Boxing Organization belt presently held by Tim Bradley. But Anthony Catanzaro, one of Ali’s advisers, says they’re not certain whether it’ll be Bradley vs. Ali in 2016.

Feel bad for Ali he has been on ice waiting for the WBO who keeps dragging their feet on a decision. It's clear Bradley has no intentions of fighting Ali. So strip him already and let Bradley try and get a big money fight elsewhere. Ali is too much a threat for Bradley to fight him right now. It won't be a big money fight and he could lose that fight so that's why they put him in with Rios and they talking about moving up to fight canelo and a 3rd fight with pacman. No mention of his mandatory before the Rios fight that he skipped. Bradley is looking to cash out in big money fights and that's cool but make a decision already WBO. Ali deserves a title shot.

Smh

Sadam Ali was gaining momentum entering the year. Sucks that he only fought once and has been inactive.

Golden Boy needs to get him a fight by March and he needs to fight at least 3 times next year.

Bradley wants no part of him because he doesn't have the name or the money behind him right now. You never no hopefully the WBO pressures Bradley into fighting Ali.

Sadam Ali needs a HUGE YEAR in 2016

Ali deserves his title shot. The WBO needs to stop kissing up to Top Rank and actually enforce their own rules.

Golden Boy has no problem getting Ali fights and keeping him active but they didn't want to get him any fights until WBO enforces their rules or comes to a decision. Golden Boy couldn't make a fight without this mess settled before hand because what if they put Ali in a tough fight and he loses and there goes his title shot just like what happened to Iman. Or what if they stage a easy stay busy fight and he gets injured that could delay or ruin a title shot. So they are playing the waiting game and WBO really screwed over Golden Boy by delaying this so long, it's getting ridiculous now. Vargas/Bradley fight was in June going into that fight they said the winner had to fight Ali but Bradley makes a fight with Rios against the WBO rules and they don't rule on whether to strip him until the week before that fight. And now we are about to be Dec and they still have yet to say if they going to strip Bradley when his promoter is talking about multiple fights except one with Ali. This mess is on the WBO. If they ruled that Bradley wouldn't be stripped 3 months ago Golden Boy could of got Ali a fight to close out this year. Even if the decision goes against them at least Golden Boy knows and can make moves accordingly.

If I'm Golden Boy I think about saying F you WBO and get Ali a title shot else where like the IBF for example.
