Errr... so wait they fight for the 'interim' title just after the proper title is contested?? Could these belts get any more ridiculous? How is Maidana getting another shot just a few months after his last one? Why is Dimitriy Salita (who personally I think is rubbish & was lucky to get a decision in his fight on the Calzaghe-Jones undercard) getting shafted when he got himself into the mandatory position? If Golden Boy want to get Ortiz a shot, why not try get him a fight with Bradley? Bradley deserves a payday & an Ortiz fight would provide that. The WBA gets worse & worse for its sheer level of corruption & incompetence, and letting Golden Boy pick its own 'title' shots just undermines the sport. In addition, why not wait & see if Khan wins, then an Ortiz-Khan fight would be HUGE, not NOW, but in about a year or two. Can a boxing month not go by without the WBA embarassing itself & our sport

Well, can I add #287? Somebody wrote into Boxing News magazine because they had heard about the possibility of Bernard Dunne fighting Juanma in a unification fight. If that happened, technically the winner would be 'Super' Champion, but they already have a Super Champion at that weightclass in Caballero who has already unified. So, if there are two Super Champions, the 2nd Super Champion is named 'Unified Champion'. Boxing News clarified this with the WBA. Also, they have an interim champion at Super-Bantam too. So they have 3 Champions in one weightclass. Go figure.
