    WBC rejects Canelo vs. Trout fight

    By Gabriel F. Cordero
    WBA super welterweight world champion Austin Trout will not be accepted by the WBC as an opponent for WBC super welterweight champion Saul “Caneloâ€￾ Alvarez for September 15 in Las Vegas. Trout had been mentioned as one of the possible candidates to replace Victor Ortiz. The WBC said Tuesday: “We do not accept unification, because if we agree we would be losing authority. We are not going to take away the exclusivity because we own the WBC brand.â€￾
    One interesting story line an Alvarez-Trout match would have is Trout won his title from Canelo’s brother. Another issue is that Trout has stated he’ll only do the fight if Canelo agrees to VADA testing. Other candidates named by the WBC are James Kirkland, Carlos Molina and Acelino Freitas.

    What the fuck does this even mean?

    yeah, I couldn't believe it either. Well that's not really true, in fact, and unfortunuately, I could believe it just too much. That just could be the big surprising name GBP was talking about.

    The more the better.

    We should start the FBA "FightBeat Boxing Association"

    We'll undercut the other sanctioning bodies and only take a 1% sanctioning fee.

    The winner will get a lovingly crafted weightlifting belt. The giant belt buckle will consist of an engraving that looks suspiciously like LOK shitting out a watermelon onto the chest of Lennox Lewis.


    :pray:

    That's how it reads, I think. If this is what is actually meant, the WBC will back down quickly. If not, they will quickly become the consensus #4 belt of the four sanctioning bodies and stay there at least until they change their position.

    Now if you are a moron, you'll probably just go into some 'duh, sanctioning bodies are good for the sport' sarcasm, but if you don't have your head in your ass, it is an interesting position the WBC has taken, I think. I mean how can one of the main four sanctioning bodies actually think they are in a strong enough position to pull this off? It really makes no sense.

    HEAVEN FORBID!!! My goodness, the effect it would have on their credibility is just immeasurable

    I know, right???!!! It's crazy to think that a sanctioning body would do something self-serving, illogical and stupid. That sort of thing never happens.

    You really should go back to posting fellatious emoticons when you think it will get you on someone's good side. That pathetic trait must double your post count.

    Your bulb doesn't burn bright enough to bring anything worth considering when it comes to sanctioning bodies. You've proven this way too many times.

    I'm FAR from a Canelo fan, but Trout's performance against Delvin didn't instill fear in anybody.
