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

[Removed Now]

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???

Just the rigged promoters. Boxing needed to drop the belts years ago. That’s the only things UFC has over boxing. No promotional companies or multiple champions in one division. No network disputes either.

Don't think the strawweight belt is actually vacant. Koncko is unifying it with the WBC holder 53-0 GOAT Moonsri.

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.

We need to unify bro.

Your belt and my orange belt I got in karate class when I was 11.

Let's break down this wall baby!

Come on dude, my belt's from J Crew: everyone knows stripmall champions and proper mall champions can't fight one another. Different sides of the street.

Fight the Dominos guy for his suspenders, and we'll talk about unifying if your Karate teaches moves into one of these vacant stores in the mall in 2029.

I don't think Moonsri wanted to pay the sanctioning fee for a unification so the IBO was vacated. It is listed as vacant on their site and there is no upcoming fight for the title on their list.
