    The WBO is essentially the Bob Arum/Frank Warren belt.

    If I can see the obvious corruption going on here why can't the boxing media see it? Or do they see it but just don't care to report it?

      Thats what I'm saying. This is a setup fight like that Vargas fight was trying to be. TR wants to keep Horn as the title holder so they are trying to scrap the bottom of the barrel to find guys Horn can beat of which they're aren't a lot lol.

        All sanctioning bodies have illicit ties to promoters..

        We shouldn't be singling out the WBO for it

                No, we actually should call the WBO out on their bull****.

                And we should also take the boxing media to task for not being properly objective and doing better investigative journalism.

                The other sanctioning bodies have their own issues (like trying to foist Huichol belts on every fight) but that shouldn't let the WBO off the hook.

                  This Skeete guy lost against Gavin, his best win is Eggington. British level guy, but who knows, maybe he can beat Horn.

                    I'm not saying let the WBO off the hook

                    I'm saying call them all out for their promoter ties, not just the WBO

                      I criticize the other sanctioning bodies as well, in the relevant threads.

                      But can you point out any org that has as blatant promoter ties as the WBO?
