The WBO is Garbage

[Lance Uppercut]

From Dan Rafael's Blog on ESPN.COM/BOXING

• Here's a classic example of why the sanctioning organizations are a pathetic joke and why fight fans, TV networks and many of my less educated fellow media members should try to ignore them as much as possible. Dzindziruk is the WBO's junior middleweight titleholder. He is healthy and just made a mandatory defense against Julio on Nov. 1. Yet, for no apparent reason, the WBO has sanctioned a Nov. 29 bout for an interim title between Paul Williams and Verno Phillips. There is no good reason why Williams-Phillips should be for an interim title. The WBO, of course, probably doesn't see it that way. All it sees is the chance to make a few extra bucks on the sanctioning fees.

I also saw that they rated Barrera number 1 at lightweight.

You know King bought him that ranking.

I would have thought that this proves that the WBO is the greatest sanctioning body

Barrera - Marquez 2?

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Ignore all sanctioning bodies. Their belts are meaningless. Only pay attention to the Ring belts and what your own eyes tell you.

Ring might just be the most corrupt of them all . I cant let a magazine owned by Oscar dicate to me who the champ is

I judge things on what I see
