Comments Thread For: Beibut Shumenov vs. Hizni Altunkaya for Vacant WBA Belt, July 7

[giacomino]

Most disgusting example of corruption in a thorough corrupt sport is Shumenov. They stole Campillo”s light heavyweight title and gave it to Shumenov, he is allowed to avoid mandatories for years and fights nothing but cupcakes, after losing to Hopkins they give him a cupcake fight for a vacant cruiserweight belt, he takes two years off and is installed as #2 ranking when he comes back and is set up to fight boxrec’s 72nd ranked cruiserweight for another paper belt. Shumenov must be paying big money for this paper trinket.

Kinda like how everyone says GGG holds the defense record, but a handful of his first defenses were for the "regular" belt. They're ruining the sport with this nonsense.
