Comments Thread For: Dorticos-Gassiev For Full WBA Belt, Lebedev is 'Champion in Recess'

So, Dorticos was upgraded to super champ instead of the regular champ? And they will crown another regular champ again? lol
WBA apparently doesnt want to get rid of the Super titles anymore.
They just recently upgraded taguchi for no reason to super champ and scheduled Canziales Vs Konichi for the vacant regular.

But the division is passing him by, he's up there in age and at a big size disadvantage against this new, young crop of cruisers. He'll probably go for one last big fight but I doubt it will end well. Would like to see him drag Ckakhkiev into the ring (if they aren't friends) for one last hurrah and then retire or some other form of a final, winnable fight to ride off into the Russian sunset.

I hope the winner stays at the weight as there are options for them. Lebedev wouldn't be the #1 choice but wouldn't be a terrible one either. Some had him beating Gassiev. Ideally though he'd have faced someone worthwhile since 2016 rather than just getting older.
