    WBA a joke. Machado being downgraded?

    wba just changed the Davis vs Cuellar fight to a title fight for the WBA "Super" version belt at 130. Meaning they just downgraded Machado who just beat their Super champ Corrales. So now tank who just got stripped for missing weight will leap frog machado as main champ by beating Cuellar who is comming off a loss and hasn't fought in 16 months and is moving up from featherweight. it's bad enough this is a vacant title fight but to screw machado in the process is disgusting. How much was WBA paid off for this move and how is Cuellar given ranking when he's a inactive fighter who was been fighting at 126 since 2012.

    Yeah its absolutely disgusting. 'Fat boy' losing his title on the scales resulted in him getting another shot inmediately at another world title vs a hand picked oponent while the actual champ is downgraded....what a ****ing Joke!

            I’m a Tank fan but this seems strange.

            So if he wins tonight he is the “real” WBA champ? Not gonna lie, sometimes I get confused with the WBA multiple belt situation.

              Yup he will be the so called "real" WBA champ despite Machado knocking out the the "real" champ last year. He moves to regular champ and Tank moves to super champ.

                  from the beginning this fight was for the Super belt. and yes is BS. but they did something similar to cuellar when he was regular champ at 126 and walters lost the super belt in the scales vs marriaga. after that fight they made santa cruz and mares fight for the super belt when the only champion was jesus and neither of those guys had had a fight at featherweight before.
