Ryota Murata vs Hassan N'Dam "title fight"??

[GreenMan93]

"held their final press conference to decide the regular WBA World Middleweight champion"

Wtf... I thought this "title" was eliminated when Golovkin beat Jacobs. I thought the WBA was trying to eliminate their multiple titles in each division and that fight should have done just that. So why is it all of a sudden "vacant" now and being contested for? Any ideas?

Its so cute when 2017ers come in here trying to make sense of abc group title stuff.

Pretty sure Jacobs had to give up the WBA belt a month before the Golovkin fight

It's silly yes it is.

The only thing I can think of is, after Jacobs lost to Golovkin, since Golovkin is the Super WBA Middleweight Champion that he can't be both the Super and Regular Champion.

So the WBA "Regular" belt became vacant for the next top two contenders Murata and N'Dam.

That's the only thing I can think of.

But this Super Champion and Regular Champion stuff is dumb, pretty ******.

There should just be one champion. But these sanctioning bodies always look for new ways to money grab.


I don't recall anything about eliminating that bogus Regular title. But if anyone has seen an article on it, then yes please share your info.

actually the wba said they would be getting rid of those extra belts like the "regular" belt after ggg defeated jacobs leaving only one. its all about those sanctioning fees though so I doubt they will actually go through with it.

Whatever dude it was just a simple question. I recall the WBA saying they are eliminating titles and thats why they were enforcing more mandatories than usual. Was just wondering if anybody heard anything from the WBA president or anything on the situation. I figured somebody who is on boxing forums 24/7 365 ie. ,you, would maybe have an answer.

I thought it was the "regular" belt that whey were trying to eliminate. Do you know what other belts the WBA was trying to eliminate? Because I know they got the "interim" belt "champion" also.

Don't get all upset 2017er.

Since you are apparently new to boxing you should know multiple abc f#ckery has been going on for the last 4 decades & change at an impressive rate. Nothing is changing anytime soon.

Its best to not even give a f#ck about who has what title & when they will have to defend it or be stripped or what caliber a championship they hold or how anyone can unify all the titles & keep them for any length of time without fighting undeserving bs mandatory's all the time & about 50 other bs things involved with abc groups.

Just concern yourself with who's the best in the division & consider that guy the champ & neither of these mfers is THE CHAMP so no one should give a f#ck about whatever bs "title" will or won't be on the line.
