Then they start holding it hostage, fighting nobodies instead of each other.

Yeah that's the worst part! Instead of trying to unify they take pride in a second tier piece of shet belt and call themselves world champions....
It's fuccing embarrassing really!

I had to double take at the belt on the line..thought to myself Crolla has a shot coming up which he does..but it's at the legit belt not the PBC farce. WBA on some bs though.. theres enough sanctioning bodies as it is let alone 1 with multiple titles..super, regular, interim. Champion of the Galaxy etc etc. But considering the teams involved, WBA would be happy to oblige fake belts for those fees, so it's in their best interest to push for the fight.

Loma should be allowed to unify with Commey and let Crolla fight for the fake belt. But politics and Hearn has pull to be an annoyance..which is the case. Same as Warrington with Galahads shot.. Warrington is getting too hot under a rival promoter and with all the buzz hes created.. not much upside to Galahad other than being domestic level... which an L to Josh makes sense.

Damn I forgot about Pacquiao's...
That settles it then!
The WBA is the worst piece of shet belt out of all of them... For real!

The WBO are the worst imo. Their rankings are terrible, and they're basically just Frank Warren and Bob Arum's stooge. All of the other 3 belts got together to find a way to unify the belts and looking for ways to improve the sanctioning bodies. The WBO are the only ones who didn't show up.

A good example of why they suck is Pacquiao had the WBO title. He then lost it to Mayweather. They stripped Mayweather because he had belts at 147 and 154, and the WBO won't allow you to have belts in multiple divisions. So they then let Timothy Bradley fight for it against Vargas. They then forced Bradley to vacate because he rematched Pacquiao instead of facing Sadam Ali. Jessie Vargas beats Ali for the vacant title before losing it to Pacquiao afterward.

we all remember when the wbo moved a dead guy up the rankings. that probably wasnt the best look

I guess this all but confirms Wilder-Fury II on May 18th.

This probably headlines a SHO card (or Co-Main for Harrison-Charlo II.)

good matchup

Didn’t Bivol win a vacant title lol. Browne just beat a much better fighter than the one Bivol beat for the belt.

Bivol did and yes Browne did beat a better fighters (coming off a draw) but this title wasn't needed since Bivol already has this title. LOL. Why did they need to make a 2nd (fake) title except to collect the bribe from PBC right?

Just like why did they create a 2nd (fake) title at 130 for Gervonta Davis against a featherweight (LMMMAAAOOOO) coming off a loss at 126 lbs (You can't make this up) in Jesus Cuellar and then degrade Alberto Machado (who beat the super champ) to the regular title holder and bump up Tank.

Just like this fight here. Loma is already the champ of the WBA. He isn't injured just like Machado and Bivol weren't injured. There is ZERO need for this fake belt except that they want that bribe money from PBC. Corruption at its finest

[Corelone]

Back to the fight. I like Easter, I could see he was learning vs Mikey. He started jabbing and using his reach. Rances may get the result of that schooling.

[R_Walken]

Don’t give a sh.it if it’s for a strap, It’s a good fight and that’s all that matters

[Mikedadon]

Im giving a slight edge to rances to win if he decides to box and not brawl. Robert easter is not that good and have been a draw with commey.
