Another example of WBC incompetence/corruption

[TitoFan]

didn't the wba order leo santa cruz v leigh wood back in april of this year? arsen goulamirian is another inactive belt holder, hasn't for since december twenty nineteen

I never claimed the other orgs were squeaky clean.

For the record, I know very little of Leigh Wood. Judging from his record, I'm not surprised.

Enlighten me, because I may have missed a step here.

When Tank unceremoniously dumped Santa Cruz in a heap in the corner back on Oct 2020... Leo's WBA super feather was taken from him, was it not?

So in his only fight after that, he beat Keenan Carbajal in a non-title fight.

So... (please bear with me here) why would the WBA be ordering Leo to fight anybody? Unless his title was handed back to him after Tank moved up and presumably vacated super feather.

my posts in this thread are not aimed at you, i am just highlighting other sanctioning body nonsense. i'm sure there are many threads on their bullshit but since i had mentioned leo santa cruz in my first post of this thread i thought i would continue here. you should do yourself a favour & watch leigh's fight with michael conlan, if you haven't already. when tank fought leo both the one thirty five & one thirty titles were on the line. leo's wba featherweight belt wasn't on the line as it was above the weight. the wba call this belt the world boxing association super world feather title. this is the one he still holds, whilst not fighting at the featherweight limit since february twenty nineteen. leigh won the world boxing association world feather title from can xu, who won the belt against jesus rojas in january twenty nineteen. the wba announced back around august of twenty twenty one that it was getting rid of interim belts & ordering unification fights between its champions, hence the wba ordering leo santa cruz v leigh wood in april. leo still holds a featherweight belt. hope that helps. my head hurts

Thanks for the explanation. Not sure I'm any clearer on that particular mess... but thanks for the explanation anyway.

(These alphabet orgs have a talent for convoluting the most straightforward title hierarchies to the point one needs an advanced degree in B.S. to understand).

No, I didn't take your last post as aimed at me. I just wanted to make it clear I'm not singling out ONLY the WBC. Sure... I dislike them the most... because I think they're the most blatantly corrupt and biased.

But no... none of the alphabet orgs can brag too much, either.
