I didn't know if I was gonna watch this fight before but with the IBO belt involved, I feel like I have to watch now.

Such prestige

[famicommander]

Good.

I'd rather have the IBO belt unified with the IBF than have some idiot ranked #54 at BoxRec walking around with a belt calling himself a world champion.

Canelo threw it in the trash just like he did with the WBC and IBF.

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.

Now i'm intrigued and want to fight for it. Who do you have in your top 10 heavyweight rankings? I better be on there!
I'm also willing to pay double the sanctioning fee if you add some crystals to the belt

IBO has more credibility that WBA right now.

what a garbage ass belt

They're all garbage. And I don't care how long they have been in existence or how many lineal champs they have. It's all a beauty contest, until they get into the ring.. Tell me. Why is the WBC more legitimate than the newly created UBA, UBC, UBO, UBF.

I think it's managed by J Z. But they will get to rank their own fighters. Think about it. The promotion company will own the sanctioning body. It's like golden boy owning the WBC. That's why JZ is so rich. Who wouldn't want to fight for him when he has four champaionship belts for every weight division
