Comments Thread For: WBO Prez Slams WBC For Kovalev's 'Diamond' Belt

[paypayvay]

This is what the WBC always does. They're attention whores! Did the same thing with Cotto Pac. They couldn't just sit back and let the WBO rock.

rock what ?

you do realize that the WBC is basically forcing the Kovalev-stevenson match that will crown one undisputed champion ? how is that a bad thing ?

who cares if it's " diamond " or " silver " ? it's a mandatory shot at stevenson and it's a good thing .

Too many belts

WBC and WBA are a disgrace

Valcarcel is the biggest idiot in boxing...no rival...

The WBC should be slammed because the process is complete BS. They're just handing out meaningless belts to absorb sanctioning fees.

There is no way to justify giving a belt to a winner of a fight, just because they won a fight. What alternate reality is this!?!?

and the funny thing is I thought the WBC Diamond Belt was originally just a trophy belt designed to have no sanctioning fees attached

**when Sergio Martinez was stripped by the WBC, I thought they turned around and allowed Sergio to reclaim a title with the Diamond belt, which he defended several times

They make it up as they go along. It's not really about the diamond belt to the fans, it's about the mandatory spot.

I'm confused, does Adonis Stevenson HAVE to fight Kovalev? Like is Kovalev mandatory.... somehow?

[piritwin2]

[bigjavi973]

I agree.... WBC & WBA are the worst right now when it comes to "multi-champs" in one division.

Well ya know gotta keep those sanctioning fees going $$$$$

Yes, according to the WBC Stevenson has to fight Kovalev.
