Comments Thread For: Nordine Oubaali Reinstated By WBC as Bantamweight World Champion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The WBC has reinstated Nordine Oubaali as its bantamweight world champion, eliminating the "champion in recess" tag it had given him in mid-November after he came down with Covid-19 and was forced to drop out of a title defense against former champion and mandatory challenger Nonito Donaire.

More WBC bull****. Why do all this ruling. If Oubaali and Donaire were going to fight with the title on the line but got cancelled due to Covid, just redo that fight and be done with it. Its simple no need to sanction interim bouts and champion emeritus and recess champions and all that. The guys got a virus should be fine now so have them fight and keep it moving

That’s one good step. Another good step is to dissolve that interim belt since there shouldn’t have been one in the first place. Let Gaballo and Rodriguez do rematch and winner goes back to que and fall in line.

What I don't get is how a guy who lost his last fight can just walk into another World title fight.

Donaire is a legend and first ballot hall of famer and deserves at this stage of his career to skip the line so to speak!

He’s one of the very few fighters who’s earned the right to pick an choose who he wants to fight, not to mention he’s still relevant coming off that classic technical war against Inoue which won FOTY in 2019!

He was ranked #2 and the guy #1 (Nery) Moved up in weight.
