Comments Thread For: Sulaiman: Lomachenko Is The WBC Lightweight Champion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

An undisputed lightweight champion will be crowned this weekend. That is the official stance taken by the World Boxing Council (WBC), confirming that its reigning 135-pound titlist Devin Haney will not factor into the equation. Instead, Vasiliy Lomachenko-the WBA and WBO belts along with designation as WBC "Franchise" champion-remains the sanctioning body's recognized true champion heading into his highly anticipated showdown with IBF titlist Teofimo Lopez (15-0, 12KOs) this Saturday live on ESPN from The Bubble at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

So franchise champion gets to move in and out of the division without giving up the belt? Some greedy MF's.

Jesus Mauricio’s just making it up as he goes along.


So what’s the belt Haney pulled out of the garbage then?

I'm okay with this. Ups the stakes which I'm a fan of.

The pressure's on, young Lopez. This is your one and ONLY chance for greatness. Your mouth got you here; your hands have to get you out of this.

Wtf is Mauricio saying . ? So loma in fact is real champ n not haney. Talk about making the sport worse with all this jibber jabber .

Suilaman should definitely be forced to step down and the WBC should be sued. Should Suilaman be sued as an individual as well? Or only as a head of the organization?

[ShoulderRoll]

That fat piece of crap Sulaiman just invents new rules as he sees fit, to suit his convenience.

Boxing fans, as the voice of the people, should give him no credibility.
