Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Dereyvanchenko - Vacant IBO Title Also at Stake

[Elastic Recoil]

You cant critisise the IBO belt without first taking a look at the WBC...

The Interim belt, the Diamond belt, the Pearl belt, the Mayan belt, the Money belt...

I mean cmon man what next? The Egyptian belt? The Bit Coin belt?

And they can set this at 30, 15, 7, 1 day, SAME day (Noon) %.

This could save lives and brain damage. The ones who suffer damage have been shown too have a huge weight gain/loss rate. I’ve read a few articles about this back in the day. Skull gap between the brain swelling/shrinking because of this sht.

I call this the “paint can” effect. When full that paint can ball takes a LOT of shaking before it bounces around... and when empty??? It bounces like a pinball.

I’ve been screaming about that for ages. Deaths got cut down when they took away same day weigh ins, and they need to do a 30/14/7/1 program. Problem is though you can still cheat that. On the 30 day weigh in you can drain yourself a bit to make the goal. People were pointing out that Campbell already looked dehydrated in his 30 day photo (sunken cheeks) so unfortunate people will always cheat.

But there are better options than what we have now.

the ibo has zero cred but thats more than a roided up cheating canelo with paid off judges.

What makes somebody a “real champion “. Last time I checked Canelo fought for the wba regular belt and pacquiao.

beating somebody who did not just lose to Danny Jacobs

the wba junior titles are also bullshlt

Well that’s 100% on the IBF not the IBO. The fans make the champions base on their resume. The belts are just big government taxing fighters.

Canelo is the current middleweight champion

I agree with that. So keep it on that and don’t worry about the belts.

They can fight for my belt while they're at it. $20 sanctioning fee, and it's reversible: brown on one side, black on the other; goes with any outfit. Way more valuable than the IBO belt, trust me.

Sweat Mother Pussbucket, I laughed so hard!!!

This. 100% this. Boxing would be so much better if each boxer at every weight class just pitched these worthless, watered down things and placed resume against resume. Who would really miss them???
