Comments Thread For: Burns-Di Rocco Now For Vacant WBA 140-Pound 'Super' Title

[gee73]

WBA is just ridiculous,
some weeks ago, they announced to get rid of the regular title in an effort to limit the number of champions.

Then shortly after Burns and Di Rocco was initially sanctioned as a WBA regular title fight before Broner failed to make weight and now they are fighting for the WBA Super title fight.

Interim champ Benavidez will probably elevated to regular champ to make a spot free for a vacant interim title fight.

Again, Benavidez isn't the interim champ at 140... http://www.wbanews.com/wba-champions#.Vw0kVialilM

Wait, what..? Isn't Ricky Burns on like a 7351fight losing streak, yet he's fighting for the super champion status with a major sanctioned organization? These organizations are a joke! Now I see why fighters don't really care and relinquish them

Yup, and yet there are idiots on here bragging about somebody becoming a "third-weight world champion" when in fact their promoters have bought their way into meaningless paper alphabet belts against nobody opponents. "World champions" my ass.

lol
Touched a couple of nerves I see...

LOL my are u serious Benavidez who got a gift over Herrea has even defened the title i thought he retired Americans are just dumb as England as more world champions :gay:

lol
Burns would get retired on his stool by Herrera. If he somehow made the bell, he would hear the scorecards(close of course, due to corruption) and the he'd pull a little vanishing act like when he didnt stay to be interviewed after clearly losing to Zlaticanin. :lol:

I will admit, currently no one possesses the paper champion-building abilities of the UK. Its almost prodigious.

You're talking like Benavidez is more legit, he got a gift against Herrera for that title.

Like I said earlier, Herrera would pummel Burns.
The lengths people will go to defend this.
This was supposed to be Benavidez's spot.
Burns has had his shot(s).
Hell, make Benavidez-Burns for it. I assure you Benavidez retires him.
