Re: #4# Event 22 Lonsdale, Alphabets, and intriguing matchups
Hagler vs Sanchez was apparently not set as a title bout, does that mean this fight doesn't count as a title defense for Hagler?
Re: #4# Event 22 Lonsdale, Alphabets, and intriguing matchups
The fight WILL count as a title bout. The nuance will not even effect the title bout internal rankings, as Hagler remains the belt holder.
