Comments Thread For: Rakhimov-Ogawa Vacant Junior Lightweight Title Fight Ordered By IBF

[paulf]

Surprised Farmer-Ogawa II wasn't ordered. Gotta respect the IBF: despite any issues one may have with them, money does not rule their decisions.

Floyd never held their belt, except momentarily, and did what you just said. Belts mean **** all. Save your money.

Belts do hold value..

However, IBF strap holds no value in terms of actually retaining it.. they force you into low level mando fights & don’t even hold blatant cheaters like Rakimov accountable, they simply reward the scumbag cheaters.

Farmer LOST & hasn’t won a fight since.. how does he deserve another vacant title

I don't agree that belts hold any value. They are all POS. The other three are even worse than the IBF. Look at the WBC situation at lightweight right now.

[just the facts]

And just like that JoJo is out of the running.

Do you think the IBF should reward a fighter (Diaz) ,that just failed to make weight for a belt that was his, with another shot at the vacant title?

why is Rakhimov a cheater?

why is Rakhimov a cheater?

Ummm maybe the clear smelling salts he used in the fight against Fuzile

Or maybe it was all the PED’s found in his room after the fight only for his manager to say they were his PEDs LOL

Rakimov is a clear scumbag Russian cheater

[bossm523]

yea, i just looked up the story lol. would he still be a scumbag if he wasn't Russian?

[_Rexy_]

That was a swift call. IBF isn’t messing around in this one.

IBF doesn't mess around to begin with. They follow their rules to a fault.
