Oh could be, don't remember that. This was the description on boxrec(which doesn't display fight weights anymore for some reason), sounds like a crock of shit thats why I made the thread.

"Counted as successful title defence by Matthysse by the WBC although the title was not on the line for Peterson, and Matthysse would have been stripped had he lost the fight."

So Matthyse fights another champion at 140, it counts as a defence for him but neither man can win the others belt and Matthyse would've been stripped instead of being in the same position Peterson seems to be having lost. Yaay boxing.
