He's the one fighting Loma and Prograis...not Shakur or Tank. Period.

Yeah... Hate or love him, he's actually the one getting in the ring with high level competition. Can't really say that about his contemporaries other than Lopez.

Briedis and Zurdo on deck

Boy... The IBF is on some other shyt. No matter the weight.

i cant fault them for this...if his opponent was ranked with them they might have let it slide or let dude get a non title defense in since breidis is injured

This is why the IBF is the best, imo. They have rules and stick to them, like a sanctioning body should. Up and down the weights, you always know the IBF champion is a legitimate dude because you have to earn rank, and you have to defend against ranked opponents.

Big facts, and of course they have some weak mandatories but it’s because they are fair and give everybody their rightly due shot. A lot of cuddle fighters avoid th because they won’t get privileged
treatment.

If a fighter is serious about their career and starting out they should go the IBF route, IBF won’t let u duck. Spence and now Boots took that route to get to a title.

I just think it's interesting because of how they went about the Crawford situation. I'm not mad it because that's their rules but the timing in which they decided to implement it was a bit sketchy. But then we started to see them press all of their title holders damn near at the same time.

Briedis agreed to step aside though, for this fight at least. He was up next. Again.

IBF have been prosecuted in court before, for corruption. I suspect if one of 'their' fighters did it, it wouldn't have been mandated to that extent.

2 things perhaps, but I agree, heavy handed tactics comparatively to the rest of the top bodies it seems.

1) They're conscious of previous charges of corruption and are demonstrably showing they've changed their ways to the commissions etc.

2) They're attempting to be (at least visually), the antithesis of the WBC and how they operate (leniencies with defense of titles, favouritism etc.)

Same with Teo. Went the hard route through the IBF ranks to get his belt and then immediately went to unify. Some of these fighters approach this business differently
