Comments Thread For: Angelo Leo vs. Tramaine Williams Set For WBO Title, Fulton Out Due To COVID-19

Yes thats what the article said. Which means both guys get a payday which is what they need in these times.

They get a payday and we get a meaningless non competitive rematch

But opposed to them not fighting and not getting paid? It's a meh fight for sure but they at least still get a TV date and get paid.

Anyways, so Fulton thinks he will get the winner....Um, not sure about that.

What are you talking about?

Castro is ranked #9 by the WBO. Tramaine Williams is ranked #6.

When Castro stopped Juarez they mentioned Castro possibly fighting for the vacant belt next.
People say Bob owns the WBO, like the WBA, IBF and WBC dont bent over backwards for PBC.

Its obvious WBO bent over and PBC swooped in and littered the field with their fighters.

Rankings dont mean anything. Leo and Castro have the same best win and Castro looked a million times better.

Why isnt Conlan fighting for the belt then?
Pretty obvious the TR guys would batter Fulton, Leo and Williams. Which is why none of them were allowed in the initial title fight, cause then PBC wouldn't even get a title at all.

Hopefully they dont run away after winning the paper title.

You can skip the fight - at least that is a lot easier than the two fighters having to skip a payday.

Rankings obviously mean something when it comes to who gets to fight for a sanctioning body belt. In this case there is no way in hell to justify a #9 ranked fighter getting a title shot over Leo (ranked #2) and Williams (ranked #6.)

Conlan hasn't even fought at this weight and he is already ranked #3.

So don't worry, the WBO is still bending over for Bob Arum.

Only a whipped cuckold like you would see pbc ranked in the top 6 for doing nothing in “bob’s organization” and all getting cracks at a belt before all of Arum’s 122 fighters and call that “still bending over for Bob Arum”.

Its cool, Haymon has lost literally every fight to Arum, doubt he even wants to find out again.

It did say he was tested 6 times since June 25.
I blame this on him. He knew he had a fight coming up he should have been more alert with his surroundings. He could have done the restaurant opening next week.

How ****** is this guy? Opening a restaurant is a pretty poor business decision at the best of times... I mean I'm sure it had been in the works for a while but still... Might have been better to just cut the losses

They should have made Escudero vs George co feature then I could just tune in half an hour later.

Haymon moved his guys up the rankings properly, following the WBO's own rules. So they can't deny them their proper title shot.

It was going to be #1 vs #2. Now it's #2 vs #6.

That is as it should be.

Only a Bob Arum **** rider could possibly be bothered by that. Is that the problem here? Are you an Arum ball sniffer? Is that why this makes you so upset?
