Cong**** to the IBF for stripping a REAL champion and giving us....

[Tedkidlewis]

Blame Main Events don't blame the IBF for following their rules. What do ya'll want? An organization that follows it's rules or organizations that make them up as they go along?

Remember, Main Events had fury stripped. Twenty-four hours after the IBF told Fury and Glazkov they have to start negotiatings, Main Events put in an immediate purse bid. Once the purse bid was called Fury couldn't negotiate a deal. Kathy Duva and Main Events is the reason Martin is now the IBF champion

I blame the IBF because their rules are obviously flawed and their ranking system is hugely questionable.

Fury was under contract before he won the IBF title, for a Klitschko rematch, so there should of been some leeway considering it was virtually impossible for him to instantly fight the IBF's mandatory.

The IBF rules clearly state that rematch clauses don't trump mando's. Fury was aware of that. The leeway was erased when Duva called the purse bid immediately after the IBF told Hennessey and Duva to negotiate. Once she called for the purse bid negotiations had to stop. Hennessey even said she never tried to negotiate with him. Duva knew exactly what she was doing. She wanted to strip Fury in order to get her fighter an easier championship fight rather than face Wilder. Martin was a winnable fight. I'm glad karma caught up to Duva and Glazkov.

I can't help but laugh at Kathy Duva.

Her ****** plan backfired.

It is sweet karma that this move exploded in Kathy Duva's face.

But if Main Events wouldn't have called for a purse bid immediately after the IBF announced negotiations begin they could've worked something out. But according to the IBF rules, once someone request a purse bid negotiations stop and no deal can be worked out. And it's not like Glazkov didn't have a fight coming up. He was already lined up for a title fight against Wilder. So he not only had a fight, but he had a title fight. That was some bull**** by Main Events

from the IBF rules:

"Boxers that step aside when in a mandatory position will not be considered the mandatory challenger and will be lowered in the ratings."

fury knew the IBF mandatory was due before he won the IBF title. fury was a WBO mandatory and had no obligation to grant a rematch.

fury decided, in violation of IBF rules, to VOLUNTARILY AGREE to a VOLUNTARY REMATCH.

why should leeway be granted for that? use your brain.

Yeah pretty sad to see the IBF strip just to have the title given away like that

Yes I know the rules, bonehead. It's the rules I'm criticizing. When a legitimate champion is stripped for the embarrassment to the sport that was Martin-Glazkov, then there's obviously something wrong with th IBF rulings. What don't you understand about that?

so which rule is it that you have a problem with and what do you think the rule should be?

[Pain~Lucy]

wait, did he say he KO'd him?

that was actually the aftershock of his punch some 20 seconds ago

Well I think I've made the answer to that question pretty obvious. Do you think the champion should have been stripped for Martin-Glazkov to fight for the vacant title?
