Apparently no belts on the line for this. I think it has been done so Matthysse keeps his #1 WBC rating at 140lbs regardless of the outcome. This is now technically a 12 Round Welterweight contest. This doesn't really make sense since they are both 140lb fighters and the winner is going to get Garcia/Judah regardless.

Anyone else understand this?
Just when you think you have heard it all eh. Sadly that hypothesis is probably true given how Jose conducts business. Since he will not allow his title holder to hold another title should Lucas win the Ibf he would automatically be kicked out of even fighting for the Wbc dunce cap. What I cant figure is why the WBC is even sought after given its history and track record presently.

This really takes the cake.
