Would Sanchez be within his rights, as the first to call out CPU Monzon (for week 18), to fight for Monzon's newly acquired WTF Title?
If so, Sanchez will fight Monzon in week 18

Re: #4# Event 17:Jackson,Ketchel,Lopez,Gomez,Cerdan,Ali,Tyson
No titles changed hands in this event....only the Lonsdale title will be on the line.
And no losses this week will prevent fighters for vying for titles in event 18. Even Jofre, who fell to his knees upon Rijker entering the ring, will be eligible to fight for a title.

Ahh, no problem. As Tyson still holds the belt, Sanchez will retract his application
