Comments Thread For: WBA To Order Gutierrez-Colbert Title Consolidation Fight, Begins Process To Phase Out Interim Belts

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On the heels of vowing to clean up its act, the World Boxing Association has taken a significant step forward. The Panama City-based sanctioning body continues to make good on its promise to phase out the number of secondary and interim titlists it has crowned over the years. The first step came with Saturday's edition of Showtime Championship Boxing, with the evening's chief support--a bantamweight bout between Gary Antonio Russell and Emmanuel Rodriguez--downgraded pre-fight from a WBA interim title fight to an official eliminator.

I'm sure they'll only remove the interim titles but not the Regular...

Ooh, does this mean the WBA will pit all of its diversity hire pbc regular wba champions against the super wba champions?
or are these consolidations only for interim belts or for fights that favor pbc?

If it looks like a cuck...
Sorry WBA, thanks for playing.

Guiterrez fought the fight of his life back in January to win that title but last night he sucked and was lucky he didn’t lose. He didn’t get any better as champion.

Colbert is going to give him a beating..

seriously. Both guttierrez and Alvarado are awful. I personally thought Alvarado won last night but both guys are among the weakest “champions” in the sport. This, of course, is the result of so many sanctioning bodies and belts.

This article is claiming that the winner will be ordered to fight Davis, so we get just one champ, so hopefully that turns out to be the case. Not believing it just yet though lol.
