What's the point of winning all the belts if you're just going to immediately vacate and not defend the undisputed Championship?:ohhh:





Crawford Vacates IBF Title, Lipinets To Fight For Vacant Belt

By Rick Reeno

BoxingScene.com has been advised that Terence Crawford has vacated the IBF junior welterweight title.

Earlier this month, Crawford - who held the WBC, WBO titles - unified the entire division when he knocked out IBF, WBA champion Julius Indongo in three rounds. The fight was showcased as an ESPN televised main event from Lincoln, Nebraska.

But there is a price for holding numerous world titles - mandatory defenses - and that's why there have been very few fighters to hold all four titles simultaneously.

The winner of Crawford vs. Indongo was ordered, by the IBF, to face mandatory challenger Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 KO).

There was very little time to make Crawford vs. Lipinets happen, as Lipinets promoter Tom Brown bypassed the negotiations period and requested an immediate purse bid - which the sanctioning body scheduled for August 31.


Now with three of the world titles around his waist, it appears Crawford - at least for the moment - is sticking around in the junior welterweight division.

Top Rank wants to match him against the winner of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn rematch, which may or may not happen in November for the WBO welterweight title.

Lipinets on the other hand will fight for the vacant belt against highest ranked, available challenger. The current highest ranked fighter is Akahiro Kondo (29-6-1, 16 Os) of Japan - ranked at three [number two spot is vacant] and winner of his last eight fights. If Kondo decides to pass, the sanctioning body will go down the list - with number 4 being undefeated Maurice Hooker.

Dont matter who the main event, long as the fights happen
It does matter when you're putting on a TV production and Lara/Whatever has the high probability of being a stinker and putting the crowd to sleep. Neither of them are even hometown fighters so it makes the shyt more puzzling, put the bout with the highest cache (Lubin/Charlo) as the main event.

Lara's last fight vs Yuri Foreman did more views than Charlo's, Lubin's, Hurd's, and Trout's last fights:manny:



He's the most valid A-Side on the card being that he does more views:yeshrug:

Hurd and Lubin were co-mains on Fox and CBS in their last bouts, that Spike card didn't outdraw those

Yeah man....Paulie got played by the McGregor camp. Paulie needs to just hold that L for the sake of boxing and not try to double down and end up getting worked in front of the world. Nobody is worried about that footage anymore. Floyd took care of all pro boxers on Saturday night.

:wow: even bowing out our GOAT saves the day

Floyd Kal-El Mayweather :wow:

A Hurd or Lubin card as main event would be Bounce status currently
