    Explain WBA Super vs a Regular title bout

    does the status become inverted if the regular wins? Or does the regular become vacant? Or does it stay the same?

      The WBA have stated their intention to get rid of the "Regular" belt. The winner of the "Regular" vs "Super" becomes/remains the "Super" champ and the other title disappears. That's the theory. Don't bet your wages on it though.

          If the Regular wins, he becomes Super (an actual world champion). Example, Walters vs Donaire

          If the Super wins, the regular is vacated, like Klitschko vs Povetkin

            Who knows with the WBA. The whole purpose of Super Champion was suppose to mean a guy was unified, but that quickly changed.

              My guess of things is that the WBA "Super" champion is the WBA's champion (positioned as such to avoid scenarios like what has happened with the WBC/IBF, where more meaningful fights have been scuttled over mandatory defense issues).

              The WBA "regular" champion is left having to contend with mandatory challengers (getting their own mandated shot at the "super" champion within 14 months)

                The regular champion becomes the super-champion's grandfather, forcing the super-champion to go back in time and stop the fight from happening by doing the Vince McMahon power walk. It's in the regulations.
