    They don't allow that?

      I don't know but usually one guy vacates when that's the case. I know I've read the other sanctioning bodies don't like the WBA sub-belt and don't recognize it. With that said, I know it's been allowed before. Like for Canelo-Trout, but typically it doesn't happen.

        The judges were spot on, I had it 116-112 as well. A great fight! Bes***** made the improvements but is still a work in progress, but not by much. He needs a couple more fights against the tough opponents. To me it was one of the best fights this year.
        I think lipinets or even Khan would b a good next fight for him. Lipinets is a solid top 10 welter and Khan even tho he has a glass jaw he's still a decent fighter with a lot of speed, plus he's a bigger name so he can boost bes*****'s profile.

          Yeah I'd like to see him against Lipinets, who's a good fighter. But isn't he at 140? On the other hand I'm not that interested in the Khan figjt, other than for boosting his profile, as you mentioned.

            Casimero has been moved to #2 at Bantamweight by TBRB.

            That means if he gets a unification fight with Naoya Inoue, it'll be for the unified WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, Ring, and lineal titles.

              I think lipinets moved up after losing to Mikey. Didn't he just fight Lamont Peterson at 147 earlier this year?

                Oh you are probably right, my bad, I wasn't following him since the Garcia fight, in fact I remember now hearing that he moved up.
