You can argue over the winner all you want over who won and by how much but gassiev was mandatory of one belt lebedev defended and lost that belt. Why should he get other belt he is not ranked 1 for or mandatory for? The organizations created this mess trying to get as many sanctioning fees as they can super champ reg champ it's a joke
Very rare does a champion move to block the challenger from one winning title in a multi-title fight. The only time I've seen that is when one fighter refused to pay sanctioning fees or one fighter in the IBF's case the fight couldn't make weight the following day.
