    Just read the shit on the homepage that the WBA gave Wladimir Sidorenko the "Super Champ" title.:doh:

    Does that mean the WBA is going to give its "regular" title to someone else? And what about an interim title holder?

    Does anyone know what the specifics on becoming a "superchamp" is? Does the WBA even outline what it takes to become one? They gave him some award for defending his title 5 fucking times:doh:

    Man this shit irritates me:flip: :lol:

    Damn. First off, I thought the WBA claimed they were doing away with the Super champ stuff, that only its current claimants would be grandfathered in.

    But beyond that, I thought you at least had to unify with another alphabet titles. Not sure what the requirements are now, if Sidirenko is receiving such honors. Making it to 20 wins without a loss? 5 title defenses (though apparently enough to earn him the prestigious Eder Jofre title :lol: )? Finally scoring a knockout for the first time since Christ left Chicago? Being El Terrribleee's favorite bantamweight? :dunno:

    I thought the same thing, about being a unified/undisputed champ. I wonder if Sidorenko sits around with his boys laughing about it. He has to know its a fucking joke.:rolleyes:

    My guess would be, he was the only WBA titlist willing to fly to China for the convention. :lol:

    I´m sure it is not an actual belt you can defend, just an honouring of sorts. The WBO did it for Calzaghe/Dariusz after 10 or 20 title defenses.
