Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: If Lopez Beats Lomachenko, He Has Merits To Be Recognized As Franchise Champ

And this is the “most prestigious” belt Lmfao you can’t make this **** up. These guys just making up rules as they go along.

I don't blame them. Wbc just wants to earn some money during the pandemic.

They kind of had to do this.

I don’t see Teo winning but if he does it’s likely by stoppage. I don’t t see any way he outboxes Loma to a UD.

How ludicrous would it be to have Loma, or any boxer for that matter, still being franchise champ after losing, especially if it’s a stoppage?

Would just make the sport and everything and everyone connected to it look ******.

It's actually good for them (for Canelo and Loma). If Loma loses, he can fight anyone he wants, even in front of Haney, or at any division. That's how they originally explained. It cannot be lost or won in the ring, either. The worst thing I'll ever have to try to figure out and understand.

Anyway, when Loma loses, for example, he can fight Haney right away.

I see your point but I’m figuring they are covering their ass just in case Teo lands a lucky haymaker.

I think the sport is devalued if you lose but keep your emeritus / franchise championship.

WBC is a comic belt nowadays

Everyone is dealing with that situation, bro. We still don't allow bank robberies, tho.

Complete and utter joke these belt orgs are, brother Dunn. I don't wanna say anymore. I haven't acknowledged any of them for 20 years now.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has announced that if Teofimo Lopez beats Vasyl Lomachenko, he would become WBC 'franchise' champion. Initial ruling stated fighters who beat 'franchise' champs only get 'diamond' belts, but he said Lopez would deserve 'franchise'.

WBC just pull out new rules whenever tf they like lol

Sanctioning $$$$$

The WBC is a ****ing joke. The franchise title is a joke. Just another way to make money.

[boliodogs]

He changes the rules every day and twice on Sunday.

[techliam]

Then the WBC truly has two world titles per division + interim

They are now as bad as the WBA

At least this makes this a proper undisputed fight now then
