Comments Thread For: IBO Prez Gives Take on Jaron Ennis vs. Chris Van Heerden

[Combat Talk Radio]

How does one even get the IBO? I feel like it just magically appears on some fighters one day lol. You never hear it mentioned with the other titles until you see it on them

IBO is a truly international title. It's rare otherwise because the IBHOF doesn't recognize it as a major title, thus most fighters ignore it below cruiserweight.

So Formella was stripped - or vacated?

So does this mean 'Man Bun' was responsible for the rise (again) of the IBO strap as far as the welterweights?

Because NSB keeps squawking about this Ennis guy, so if he wins the title, it'll be another option for Crawford to unify with?

Or does Crawford again fight a Spence leftover in Van Heerden (didn't Spence fight Van Heerden at 154?)

Nah it was at 47

Keep in mind not only are they fighting for the IBO, but so have the likes of Erislandy Lara. Klitchko,
GGG, etc.. Its the newest of the era, but its a starting place like Jarron to get some traction. Do ya homework before you hate on something that's been around a decade.

No one cares its for the IBO title.

This is a great comparison fight for Boots doe. Errol took out CVH in 8. Boots needs to do it in less so the fans can talk about it. Always a good move to start fighting guys other big names beat, & ideally beat them quicker or wider, when you are still on the come up.
