Another example of WBC incompetence/corruption

[TIC]

the wbc has four interim champions, they are quickly catching up to the wba's six regular champions. if stephen v brandon is also an interim i'll be five for the wbc

I saw Mauricio Sulaiman wearing a Canelo Alvarez cap in an interview earlier today
What other sport do you see the head of a governing body wearing the merchandise of one of the stars of the sport?

Answer: I can't think of any right off the bat.

But thanks for pointing that out. It only underscores the painfully obvious (at least to me) over the course of Canelo's career.

i want that cap

the wbc named nico ali walsh as their prospect of the year

don't really want to get into mauricio sulaiman's nonsense about dmitry bivol but they approved sergey kovalev & artur beterbiev. if dmitry fights canelo mauricio will change his tune in a heartbest

Yep. Let's not get into it. The Sulaimans have long ago proven they are the most corrupt, self-serving, family in boxing.

And yes... don Mauricio would indeed change his tune in a heartbeat for a Bivol-Ginger fight.

Nauseating.

apparently francis ngannou will be rated at number ten in the next wbc rankings

And they're dumping Andy Ruiz and maintaining Wilder as #1. Both refused to make an ordered wbc eliminator.

So now 0-1 Ngannou ranks ahead of Otto Wallin who lost to arguably a 25lbs lighter and "serious" Fury. This Ngannou experiment will be short lived one way or the another. The wbc is not to be taken serious in any form.

sounds like common sense right. not for the wbc, their rule requires a need for them to prove "intentional ingestion" of a ped by a boxer

That is strict liability?

[Spicoli]

Between that and the refusal to recognize Tszyu vs Turman for the belt suddenly the wbo sounds like the adult in the room.

it reads that way

So a fighter has no excuses and has to take full responsibility for what he puts in his body.

That is right but I worry innocent mistakes can be made and careers tarnished which means their case needs to be heard on its individual facts and merits.

So automatic bans for life should not be the only punishment.
