How does the IBF sanction Spence/Ocampo but not GGG/Vanes?

[Chuckguy]

It wasn't sanctioned by the wbc it was non title fight there is no such thing as the money belt

Oh ok lol I stand corrected

[Larry the boss]

So how did the WBC sanction the fraud Connor fight when Connor NEVER fought in the ring and wasn’t ranked by the WBC? Just curious larry or was the fight not sanctioned which I really doubt

What title was on the line for that fight?

What title was on the line for that fight?

Some guy already corrected me larry

[Madison Boxing]

You don’t see me praising him like it’s a good fight like the dumb ass drama show does. It’s just a mandatory

but u slaughtered ggg for wade so im expecting daily posts on how spence is a cherry picker for fighting ocampos? they were both mandatories so whats the difference?

[Elroy The Great]

staying active helps

[bigsmoothh]

You have to know how this works by now, the guzzlers will hate on GGG no matter what and make excuses for certain fighters based upon demographics. You are correct, both fights are garbage, and for some reason celebrate mismatches so long as a PBC fighter is the favorite.

green k sent, 100% truth

Spence does not stand a chance...




















of getting a few rounds of work in. LOL

[deanrw]

The IBF is terrible for rating guys who do not belong. It has been that way for years.


Ocampo looks like garbage and will get tossed out like garbage quickly. Just make sure you use the bathroom before the opening bell, as this fight will not go past 2 rounds.


This fight is not Spence's fault, just like Wade was not GGG's fault. Vanes, even with the inactivity, and being a terrible pick, still had more talent than both those mandatory fights LOL

What are you confused about? Ocampo is the IBF mandatory. Vanes wasn't ranked by the IBF and therefore ineligible to fight for the title. It's very simple.

Yeah I don’t get what is so confusing about that. Their odds to win the fight doesn’t concern the IBF.

[N/A]

The WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF do whatever they want and explain nothing to anybody.

Well that's simply not true. They're required by law to explain everything every month.

Jacobs will probably beat the 12 pro fight wonder and become the new IBF world middleweight champion. Very few will recognize Jacobs or the Russian as champion. Most will continue to recognize GGG as the true middleweight champion until a middleweight beats him or he retires.

There's no such thing as a true middleweight champion. The winner of Jacobs and the Russian will be the IBF middleweight champion. The winner of GGG and Canelo will be the WBC and WBA middleweight champion.

If GGG was the "true" middleweight champion, he could have fought the Russian instead of Vanes.

Keeping belts unified is very easy. You're just unlikely to remain champion for long. Fighters ditch belts to extend their reigns.

Tyson, Douglas, Holyfield, Bowe, the heavyweight title was a hot potato because undisputed champion = harder to avoid top fighters. Bowe ditched a belt to duck Lewis and try to extend his reign. Things have been this way for a very long time.
