    Default Badou Jacks in WBA title

    http://www.boxingscene.com/badou-jac...nceled--120767

    So Jack has ditched the WBA title. What we thinking, shit scared of Bivol?

    Is this Bivol that good? Jack must have a better offer somewhere else.

    Has to have something to do with Ward flying the cope maybe, vacancy shot? So Barrera v Bivol could come off. Figured he'd at least hold it longer for a bargaining chip, weird.

    Very strange. Bivol vs Barrera looks good on paper. Amazingly the WBA top 5 looks very solid. Not sure what the thinking is here by Jacks team.

    After saying this they approve Bivol/ Broadhurst for the vacant belt. Did numbers 2 to 10 turn down the fight?

    Some of those guys have reasons but Karo Murat and Marcus Browne should be available. Interestingly I heard that part of the deal for Jack/ Cleverly was that Jack had to vacate.

    And Barrera seems stunned that they skipped over him at #2.

    Why? because he could not fight the mandatory in a short time period?

    It just seems a wasted effort but titles can be bought if you have the power and influence. I guess Jack believes he has that.

    Badouey binning old Clev's belt is a bit of a liberty, even sent the poor sod into retirement, or he's done him a favour by saving him from Bivol? Yep, he did him a favour.

    Jack is good but he'll struggle at 175.

    They said he struggled making weight against De Gale and had to move up in weight.

    Yeah but I think the talent at 175 is a lot deeper than what it is at 168. I don't see how a grown man can suddenly not make a weight he's been making his whole life. He should himself a nutritionist (if he hasn't already)

    Abit disappointed in Jack. He was very impressive in his last fight and as champ was in a good position to go on to big fights. Now hes vacated already and has to get back in line. Bivol is a top fighter. Its not like they mandated him to fight someone poor who hed get no credit for beating. It looks like he ducked the fight and as a TMT fighter that’s going to do his reputation no favours. What state is boxing in if fighters give up world titles in order to chase bigger fights.

    Heard Jack was looking at fighting Stevenson, but sure how that works for Alvarez and WBC ratings.
