Funny isn't it? How alpha-soup bodies like WBA master this inconsistency throughout time, for what? of course for sanctioning fees and politics as well. Now is the time for boxing to have "One True Champ" IMO ---> viewtopic.php?f=5&t=104586&hilit=

A Bum means Villa82!!

Banal just takes whatever opportunity there is available at this time. Its not his fault he can't fight the big guns yet coz the fights aren't available at all....
To the thread starter, if you want AJ Banal to fight the greats then go ahead be a promoter and give that kind of fight to AJ Banal, for sure he'll take the chance and fight.

they're not rushing up Banal... he still needs more experience before going bigtime. every boxer goes thru this process..

As the fight on 26th July has now declared as a WBO "Interim" Championship Belt, the issue of Bogus Title is finished..

a promoter from japan make this WBA become an interim instead of a title fight.... bring on the japanese fighter...

i think you are referring to akihiko honda. the most influential promoter in japan. i think he's the owner of teiken gym. i already posted a question regarding this fight of banal. check previous post, perhaps in the page 6. i noted about as to why 2 different pairs contest the same belt on 2 separate dates. also i noted how come AJ banal fought for a vacant belt against a fighter rated #7 even if #1 and #2 is filled out and not vacant.

corruption is found everywhere. but pinoy promoters & certainly the GAB love to play along.

so this fight and the other one with japanese fighters could be stated as the "eliminator" where the winners will become as regular and interim champions and will fight it out to be the true regular champion just one step less from mijares, the superchampion..whew..its like a tongue twister..but still, this fight of AJ Banal is not a bogus..the belt is not either..what's bogus is the people in the organization of World Benta Association..well all alphabet soup organizations have thier own corruption to deal with..

then i was correct about my speculation about the fight. it was all works of sampson and mendoza of WBA and then when honda disputed the fight they immediately made resolutions to accommodate all.

Lessons to be learned.

1) Never underestimate the opposition.
2) Don't call him a bum.

Banal lost in the bogus title shot.

I hope AJ would bounce back.

now what can u say bro...

I was not impressed by Concepcion at all if anyting it just showed me that Banal was just an over hyped fighter who was weaker than his weak opposition.
