Boxrec has Froch vs. Kessler listed as being for the WBA Super World Super Middleweight Title. Did Andre Ward get stripped of that belt too? or are they just going to have 2 Super champs like with Canelo and Floyd?

Personally, I didn't mind the interview. My only problem was that shyt was too damn long. Like some of the damn interviews with the fighters don't go on that long. Like give the bytch 3 questions and K.I.M. They got this bytch telling us her life story and shyt. :what::whoa:

Fight needs all the hype it can get though. Broner's a true showman so he'll make it entertaining while we'll prolly just get more jabs and circling from Paulie. :flabbynsick:

No, thats incorrect. Kessler is the regular WBA champion.

edit: Floyd is the Super Champion and Canelo is the Unified Champion.


Although WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather recently stated that he had been stripped of his WBA super welterweight “super” title, that appears to not be the case. Mayweather is still listed as super champion in the new WBA ratings released today.

Meanwhile, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez was named WBA boxer of the month, but did not receive the “super champion” status the WBA created especially for champions who hold the title of two or more organizations recognized by the WBA. Guillermo Rigondeaux, who unified the WBA and WBO titles against Nonito Donaire, also did not receive super champion status. Both are listed as “unified” champions along with WBA/WBO flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada.

WBA super champions include Wladimir Klitschko, Andre Ward, Floyd Mayweather, Danny Garcia, Chris John, Anselmo Moreno and Roman Gonzalez. Of that group only Klitschko and Garcia currently hold belts from multiple organizations.

yeah, was a lotta Mexicans...and I had never noticed that before when WWE comes to town. we need some boxing matches here if they turnin out like that for WWE. a decent Mexican contender could bring crowds out in droves. Actually, it would be a good idea to do Floyd fight in theaters here if he fights Canelo.

Pretty sure crossroads does the theater fights

I lean towards Peterson because he can take Matthysse's punch and I believe will be more active.

Same peterson who's been dropped several times including by bradley?
I think peterson is gonna shy away once he feels LM's power

I look at things like this breh...

Peterson has faced better opposition and has 1 loss and 1 draw. LM's two best opponents beat him or at least he fought equal with.

I have to see LM KO somebody that is above C-class level, a natural at his weight, and not past his prime before I proclaim him a devastating puncher. I remember when Randall Bailey was KOing everybody at 140 and people were comparing him to Hearns :heh:
when he stepped up in class he lost. He has a high KO percentage but never KOed a B-class opponent. Bailey once was where LM is now. He was champ along with Tszyu, Mitchell, and Zab IIRC.

You can have all the power in the world but you have to be able to get the shots in...and you see those chances decrease as opposition level increases.

LM is only known to the masses for being "jobbed" against Judah and Alexander. Thats his claim to fame. Other than that, he hasnt done anything yet.

i think as far as comp they're not far apart. soto, devon, chop, chop, zab, vs khan, ****, ortiz bradley).


i'm laughing at people who just think lamont is just a "speedbump" in the middle of matty vs garcia. if matty starches lamont in impressive fashion, i'll take my hat off to the kid. i feel like lamonts body work is underrated, the first 1-4 rounds i think lamont boxes him and then gets caught into a war with matty. i really can't pick a winner for at the moment, but like petersons chances.

the comp is not far apart but the results in the fights tell the stories. LM didnt get it done against Zab and Devon. Soto....not a natural at that weight and Chop is a sometimes spoiler who couldnt beat Zab when he was in his prime. Peterson however only officially lost to Bradley. Ortiz better than anyone LM has beaten...in fact Ortiz may still be a better fighter than LM.
