Comments Thread For: WBC Prez On Bridgerweight: It Will Have Positive Impact In Our Sport

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ready or not, the bridgerweight division is officially a part of modern-day boxing culture. The first set of rankings for the new weight class was rolled out by the World Boxing Council (WBC) during its monthly ratings update on Tuesday. Veteran contenders Oscar Rivas, Bryant Jennings and Dmitry Kudryashov are among the most identifiable names gracing the inaugural set, which for now will remained limited to a Top 20 until the division gains traction.

This snake loves creating new belts just to pocket more money from all these sanctioning fees.

I think Tony Bellew should get jumped for coming up with “Bridgerweight.”

lmfao if no other org follows suit, then what? you'll just have 190lb and 225lb champs who aren't good enough to fight for a real belt

Just make light heavyweight 180 then Crusierweight 205 only 5 pounds i know but that make it easier for people who weigh 210ish to squeeze down to 205 we dont need more divisions better to change the weight limits for each division a bit

[Rodbox]

The arrogance of Sulaiman and the WBC to put boxers in a new division against their will ffs Rivas has been 20 odd pounds over that weight for the last 10+ years

[BrometheusBob.]

Whether there are merits to this new weight class or not is irrelevant. Sulaiman just wants an excuse to make even more belts.

But I wouldn't like it either way

BridgerWeight makes sense only if they lessen the number of weight classes. Particularly those lower weight classes are a joke as there is a class every 2-3 kg.
