Comments Thread For: Canelo's Promoter Caught Off Guard By IBF's Mandatory Order

[James Hunt]

I wonder if Haymon wrote this ruling.

I mean Deryvanchenko is pretty good so I've not got too many problems with the order from a pure matchmaking perspective, but he already challenged for the IBF title against Jacobs in October. He's had one fight since then (Jack Culcay) and he's already mandatory again? How does that work?

Jacobs won the vacant belt (never fighting a mandatory), after Golovkin won a just vacted belt (making only the mandatory defense against Dominic Wade).

Derevyanchenko was #1 conteder, lost a close fight for the vacated belt close, was still rated highly, and jumped through the IBF hoops again for a mandatory shot.

The last IBF mandatory defense was against Dominic Wade three years ago.

The IBF has been long owed a mandatory defense, have again established their top challenger (I believe Derevyanchenko and Culcay were #1 and #2), and that challenger deserves a shot.

You do see the irony in this
What happened to do not pass go
He just beat the guy who got him their
Maybe I just wanna see Andrade vs Canelo but I still don’t find it right , if anything GGG should fight him and then the winner get a crack at the other winner

Dump the belt, keep the date (Mexican Independence Day), get money!

[aboutfkntime]

this is just another inexplicable IBF decision.....

but, I kinda like it.....

it means that Canelo will have to fight Andrade next

drop the September date, move it to Oct-Nov

If he wasn't Mexican, maybe? However, Oscar started something, Mayweather became ****** rich, and so...NO! Drop the belt, keep the date! If Andrade wants the fight, he better be ready in September, or it's option B (GGG), and option B brings in a lot more money than a WBO Belt!

Clenelo Alvaroid is dropping IBF belt next

That's the only way 97k can get a belt these days is when Canelo drops a belt.
