WBA Super title and WBA Ordinary Title?? Can Someone Explain This To Me?

[Lance Uppercut]

LOL, you got to love alphabet crap!

My understanding is WBA Ordinary Champion is a Champion of just the WBA.

If a WBA champion also wins an IBF, WBO or WBC title, then he becomes a WBA Super Champion. This means the ordinary title is vacant and can be won by another fighter, thus you then have two WBA champions at one weight......

Of course if that WBA ordinary Champion then goes on to win a different piece of alphabet crap to his Super Champion colleague..... Well, I guess in theory you could have four WBA Champions in one weight division!

That was the origninal rule when they created teh "super champion status." But they have abandoned that rule, and now they just use so that they can collect sanctioning fees twice in the same division. They made Margarito a super champion even though he he only held one title, and JMM and Diaz fought for a vacant super title even though the WBA had some european has their lightweight champion.


THe WBA has quickly become the least respected alphabet gang.

Was there any WBA Super and WBA Ordinary unification fight?

What a load of bollocks. Boxing would be much better off without this nonsense TBH.

No. They keep them separate in order to maximize the sanctioning fees. Each has their own mandatories.
