Comments Thread For: Indongo To Vacate? Lipinets-Hooker For IBF Belt on Ward-Kovalev?

[Randall Cunning]

Eddie is like a mother hen with his fighters. Without a mega payday, he wont risk a meal ticket.

Thing is domestically Super Lightweight is heating up, he gets the belt it puts him in the power position over here, Indongo wouldn't be a payday but what it leads to would be. I'm not sure hes the best Brit at the weight, but hes the most charismatic, popularity will soar if he gets the belt.

Hearn said after his last fight he wants him fighting for a world title before the end of the year. Don't think Hearn had any intention of letting the belt leave the UK for too long. Davies was supposed to be main support to Whyte/Wach, Indongo wins and he now says hes not ready to return just yet. Degales scheduled to return at the 02 on July 1st, wouldn't be surprised if Indongo/Davies is on that card.

Dude Namibia is my neighbouring country, so Ingongo is a fellow african, I aint biased against him, but I also aint gonna defend rubbish.

If this is true (could be a lie, these eastern europeans lie all the time, ie. Golovkin, Kovalev/Duva), but if it is true, then Indongo is a piece of ****, plain and simple.

Crawford has a fight with Diaz lined up and he and Crawford haven't even begun negotiations yet and there is no proof that they even will. If the excuse is that he wants a fight with Crawford then it's just an excuse for ducking.

I don't even understand why he would wana duck because a fight with Lipinets will make him better prepared and more refined for the crawford fight.

Also, most importantly, if the excuse is that a unification with crawford is better than a mandatory with Lipinets, then why the **** risk getting stripped of one of your titles if your excuse is 'unfication'?

Nah man, call a spade a spade.

Yea man, totally ducking Lipinets to fight Crawford. Do you know how ******ed that sounds? This falls in the same category as "Ward ducked GGG to fight Kovalev." Makes total sense...

The fighters and promoters deserve most of the blame for titles being splintered.

No idea why this matters at all. Reality is reality right now. And right now the history of the sport is being buttf#cked every year there are multiple "world" champions.

Keeping the titles in tact is easy. Fighter your mandatories. Klitschko did it for many years.

Klitschko has the worst resume of any long time champion in HW boxing history because of all the bs mandatories he fought.

Granted he didn't give a f#ck cuz he was making good money in Germany for most of his reign whoever he fought, but in most sports you excel so you can prove you're the best & to get paid accordingly as the best. And to the average guy in boxing that requires you to fight the best opponent available for the most money & that rarely has anything to do with a mandatory in this era.

There's no such thing as a BS mandatory in the IBF.

Of course there is. We all know Lipinets doesn't deserve a mandatory title shot for beating Lenny Z. This isn't THAT complicated a concept.

The IBF rules are very clear. They are fairly enforced no matter who you are. You can't become an IBF mandatory via attrition. You have to earn your title shot in a legitimate manner.

Don't be dense brother. I know you're smarter than that.

And sure you can come up with all sorts of rules to make "sense" of your bs as a abc group, but logically we all know Lenny Z shouldn't have been one W away from a title shot & while I respect Lipinets more as a fighter & talent in the sport if Lenny Z wasn't one W away from a title shot Lipinets doesn't logically earn a non-bs title shot from beating him.

The problem with all these groups is the basis of all there rules is there rankings are flawed &/or corrupted making nearly every mandatory opponent a subpar option & often not even a legit indie ranked top ten guy.

And this is why we don't have more long term unified champions. Because people like you will be more impressed with a division if it has four champions. Tricks you into thinking the division is "deep."

Who was Klitschko avoiding during his reign other than his brother? His resume is full of top heavyweights.

LOL I ain't got nothing to do with the clusterf#ck that's going on with abc groups & title holders. Quit being silly bro. No one in boxing is trying to make me happy or that sh^t would be looking crazy different. 1 champion. Odd number of rounds. MMA gloves over pillow gloves. Commissions that require competitive matchups from opening fight to main event or it doesn't get sanctioned. If I'm President of Boxing sh^t would be fun again & people would talk about fights more than d#cking, money & ****** bs mandatories & all that sort of nonsense.

His resume is filled with the most bs title contenders of any long standing HW champion in the history of the sport.

Lol...

Why would he fight Lipinets for peanuts when he can make MUCH MORE money fighting someone else for the WBA and IBO?

The guy is in his mid 30's already. He has no need to be building up a "legacy."

so who's he gonna fight?

Did you even read what I said? If you did read it then I have to wonder if you passed any of the comprehension sections of your english tests.

Just sit back and watch Hearn work his magic.

Indongo is just a poor little puppet in a business thats controlled by greed and corruption. They just take his titles away like that and the fella just unified a week ago. Imagine this would be some privileged pampered fighter Canelo.. they wouldnt do shit.
