Is WBC really this corrupt?

[jangeorg]

The WBC dictator, Mexican Suleiman has stated that a new and very unusual rule is in effect for the unification fight:

If Beyer suffers ANY damage to his head from a clash. And it doesn't matter if it is accidental - Then:

A. The Referee has to deduct Kessler 1 point immidiately,

B. Beyer will be given the rest of the fight to decide if he is fit to continue. this means he can fight on, and if he is behind on points at some point in the fight - he can just call it a day and not loose the WBC belt.

________________

The WBA of course protested this very strage rule. a rule that the WBC normally only enforces in Germany and never in the US (simply because too many people are watching). Now apparently they want the rule to be in effect in this unification fight.

Sulaiman is destroying the image and legacy of one of the oldest belts. If the WBC continues with such blatant corruption they should be looked upon as a inferior organization - and possibly the WBO take their place.

Such corruption and foul play is doing to Boxing what the dopoing scandals have done to Tour de France - people are getting sick of it. At least the leaders in Tour de France are not the ones causing the problems.


Kessler has KO Beyer to win the WBC-title

[Katz]

lolz.... Sulaiman should be replace....

[Bozo_no no]

The same rule applys if Beyer cuts Kessler though.

It's the WBC rules for any fight outside the US.

It's played an unfair role in many fights.

Kessler is WBA-champ and This rule is ONLY for the WBC belt, not the WBA one

[Bozo_no no]

Kessler is WBA-champ and This rule is ONLY for the WBC belt, not the WBA one

But the rule should apply to both fighters competing for that title.

It wouldn't make sense to just penalize one fighter and not the other.

BTW,

are you going to the fight? If not where are you watching it?

From the press it looks like it's a big event with a lot of buzz.

Is the local coverage building the fight up?

I will be on ringside and the ticket cost 550$ and no it will not be sold out"sold out will mean 50000"so i think it will be 20000-25000
