    Default Sauerland appeal succesful Froch v Abraham now for the vacant WBC Belt

    Does this make much of a difference now that it is not the Semi Final?

    Yes I think you are right to be honest, I was pissed at first the WBC were giving the title to the Dirrell/Ward fight, as I thought the fact both semi final winners coming into the final would have a world title, but now not being semi's and the potential of Johnson getting into the semis bit different but deffo worthy of a world title this fight.

    originally i thought it was daft having johnson in and keeping green, but now ive thought about it it does keep the competition open for something different

    ideally id like to see ward beat dirrell and johnson Ko green and froch beat abraham, ward, froch, abraham and johnson in the semis

    i think theres a good chance too

    fantastic news

    froch has the right to fight for the very title he was robbed of against kessler, the only reason kess isnt fighting in this super6 anymore is because he realises how badly he fought against carl and completely overwhelmed on the night
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    some dudes might think your crazy dude but i think you have a point

    he was soundly beaten in his first two fights and got away with it very luckily

    he looked lost against froch for all but a couple of rounds, i thnk he realised his carear couldnt take another 3 fights at that level

    It's good news in one way and that is i'm glad for Carl having his chance to get his title back, BUT IMO Ward is the SMW champ so really it's just another alphabet title until someone beats him.

    None of the belts are the "big one" anymore. If your going back to the original belts that the likes of Marciano, Robinson etc held it's the WBA, but to me now The Ring belts are the ones that really matter!

    No issues with it really, it does seem a bit iffy that two fighters coming off losses get the shot rather then the two fighters coming off wins, but i guess it adds more that when the winners of these two fights face each other it will be for two belts. So from a business standpoint I understand it.

    naaa i dont agree with that

    the ring belts are as stupid as some of the alphabet belts, just confuse matters even more, its just someone trying to fix something that isnt broken and braking it

    as far as i am lead to believe (correct me if im wrong) the ordering of the belts go something like

    WBC
    WBA = IFB
    WBO

    none other matter

    Good Frach can win a title again.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well the WBA, WBC and IBF to me are on a par. They all have greedy arseholes in charge and are corrupt as hell. But all 3 tend to be regarded as important as each other, but I quite often talk to the older boxing fans in my local and they still regard the WBA as the top one due to it being the first one and the one you can trace back to the old timers. I try to tell them I regard the Ring belt holder highest but they just say it's not a real belt.

    As far as the WBO, they have come on in leaps and bounds but they are not one of the big ones really.

    The alphabet's titles are all garbage now

    WBA-intentionally has 3 titles in every division
    WBC-the most openly fraudulent, with the most ridiculous president
    IBF- probably the most integrity of the alphabets;however, they strip belts way too often
    WBO- is like a mini WBC: they love interim titles

    The Ring Magazine title is the only one where, the champion is usually regarded by the general public as THE CHAMPION. However, I must admit that I dont like the idea of the magazine being owned by a promotional company.

    Maybe I am looking to deep into this, but does this worry any Froch fans? Sauerland again seems to be taking control of this promotion and while Fat Mick is probably at KFC.

    The Kessler fight for me was fair enough close fight hard to judge, Kessler was pressing the action and him winning the close rounds was fair enough, but If Sauerland is having this much influence with the WBC ( I don't blame the guy, getting every advantage possible for his fighter ) I just fucking hope we don't see that bent fat ugly cunt as a judge Tilleman.
