Finito my friend , whats disgraceful??
The fact that they handed a full title to an ordinary fighter on a silver platter.. WBO just lost more credibility with this mafia-like move.. This is organized crime bruh..
Ill tell you one thing though. Burns isn't going to hold that belt for long. Maybe till the end of this year at the latest.
As long as he faces Kev this year, that belt is going to get yanked right outa his waist..
Finito...Fighters getting a belt handed to them has been going on for years. If they win an eliminator or in recent years fight for an interim title then they must be promoted to full champion IF the champion doesnt fight them.
Ken Norton got his WBC Heavyweight Title that way when he won an eliminator. Ali was stripped.
Lennox Lewis got the WBC Heavyweight title the first time by beating Razor Ruddock in an eliminator. Bowe was stripped/
Ricky Burns got the WBO belt because he beat Katsidis in an Interim Title fight with the winner to face Juan M Marquez. It was the WBO that said that if Marquez didnt fight the winner then whoever won the Interim fight would be declared champion.
Certainly not Ricky Burns fault.
Fighting Katsidis , Moses and Mitchell in 3 straight fights MUST get respect. Moses will be a hard fight its certainly on a forgone conclusion.
Burns beats Mitchell though...8-4 type of fight.
