[j0zef]

He looks like a skeleton. Angry one at that.

[Marvlus Marv]

Wasn't like the guy was goading Murray. Pent up anger or not, it showed a mental fragility. He got butthurt over nothing.

[DoktorSleepless]

This will probably be the most exciting part of his fight.

I thought Charlo was the Fkn WBC mandatory

[S7V7N]

Jermall Charlo is already mandatory

I thought Charlo was the Fkn WBC mandatory

This is for the WBC Silver which is a joke of a belt to give Mexicans something to fight over. Garcia v Chavez (Omar) fought for it last year the month after Charlo v Heiland fought for the interim. Hoping they at least set up another eliminator between this winner & Charlo. Not sure who can follow their rules, since they don't even do it.

Sulaiman: "The WBC has ordered an interim championship, in order to address Jermall Charlo`s position as mandatory. He and Hugo Centeno have accepted the WBC ruling. If the Golvokin vs. Alvarez fight is saved for September, they will accept [that the winner has to face the mandatory] and abide by that. And the mandatory will come into place after that."

3.21 Interim Championship Rule. In special circumstances, including when the WBC in its sole discretion declares a WBC champion temporarily unavailable to defend his title, the WBC may sanction a bout between Qualified Challengers for an interim championship, or otherwise recognize an interim champion in the division. In its sole discretion, the WBC shall subsequently determine the timing and terms of any bout between a Champion and Interim Champion to determine a sole champion in the division, provided, however, that an Interim Champion shall never be deemed a mandatory challenger, or entitled to greater share of proceeds of any purse offer beyond that of a challenger, without a specific prior written order to that effect from the WBC President or his designee. For the avoidance of doubt, a WBC Interim World Championship shall be considered a true WBC World title for all purposes, other than with respect to a bout versus the actual World Champion, absent any order to the contrary from the WBC in its sole discretion.

3.23 Silver Championship. In its discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may impose, the WBC may designate or order and award WBC Silver Championships of the World in each weight division. The WBC Silver Championship is a world title superior to all WBC championships except the World or Diamond Championships. The WBC may designate the challengers for a Silver Championship from among any Qualified Challengers. A Silver Champion must comply with all defense and other obligations applicable to WBC World Champions hereunder as the WBC shall order in its discretion. A Silver Champion shall not be a mandatory contender for the WBC World Championship absent winning a final elimination bout for the World title, unless a written exception has been authorized by a majority vote of the WBC Board of Governors in its sole discretion.

Murray is a dead man walking , he is really suffering to make weight.

[boxing maniac]

Murray was angry that Garcia was starring him down and replied "you done looking at me mate" Garcia turns back to look at him and thats when the shoving started

[Removed Now]

Jermall Charlo is already mandatory

That's what a thought . Why is Garcia carrying a green belt tho?

[chicken-]

I'm waiting for the day one of these morons pushes their opponent and ends up injuring them and having the fight cancelled. It's getting old.
