Why wasn't Lamonts IBF title on the line when Matthysse knocked him out?

Anyone remember what was the whole issue with that?

It was the weight. They agreed on a 141 CW so Matthysse could keep his standing with the WBC and face Danny Garcia, whom he was targetting.

Gotcha.

Damn Lucas should have been a two division champ then.

Yep, they wanted to keep the ranking to make sure Danny would be forced to fight Matthyse.

What a smart move.

you mean a 1 division champion, if Peterson title was on the line.

Didn't Lucas just win the vacant regular wba title? Could be what he was referring to. They really need to have only 1 WBA belt.
