    Comments Thread For: Lipinets-Abdukakhorov Postponed; Showtime Unlikely To Televise Fights 10/10

    Kudratillo Abdukakhorov and Sergey Lipinets will have to wait a little longer before they fight for the IBF's interim welterweight title. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that their 12-round, 147-pound title fight has been postponed from its announced date of October 10. It could be rescheduled for November 28, when Showtime is set to televise another card, but the new date hadn't been finalized as of Thursday afternoon.

        I would think it would fit perfectly on the Spence vs. Garcia undercard? That way we know who Spence must face if he wins, and does NOT unify with Crawford!

          Isn't this the 2nd time this fight has been postponed? I been looking forward to it because it's a really solid fight that Uzbek looks good on paper but Lipinets seems to have found a resurgence at 147 and his power is still there.

            Why? Boxing can make it hard to be a fan.

              Bit gutted. was looking forward to that one too. It's not a AAA but they're a really well matched pair. I was probably leaning a bit towards Sergei with slightly more top level experience but honestly could go either way. Hope it ain't put off too long.

                That sucks, good Welterweight fight, winner gets themselves in the mix at 147 and a shot at the IBF

                Hopefully Abdukakhorov can get that Visa issue straightened out soon

                  These Visa issues seem to always happen a week before a fight.
                  Why don't they get this stuff squared away when the fight is announced?

                    They have to check the fighters passport status before they sign for the fight. To make sure that it hasn't expired, and that it'll still be active probably for a month to three months, after the fights scheduled just in case they have to reschedule for what ever reason. This is irresponsible on the promoters part not to have a passport status checked prior to signing fighters for a particular fight that they're scheduling. This doesn't happen in other sports as regularly as it happens in boxing. Boxing is really behind the times as far as pensions, medical insurance, etc., for fighters. This is such a travesty, considering that boxers put their health on the line more than other athletes in many different sports. They should have certain guaranteed protections in place.
