Mandatory Note: It's WBC Mando week.
The next highest eligible challenger is Wilfredo Gomez.
Jimmy Barry has refused the Mando shot this week.
Erik Morales has refused the Mando shot this week.

Further Note: Remember this will be happening every week, mandos will rotate between the four titles - there aint gonna be no "easy" options this time round. And it will make unification's that much more difficult to achieve.

[Crease]

After three weeks of grueling competition, it's about time that Terry has a quiet week. And he's gonna beat up on Lobster Hayashida - the Bantamweights favourite punching bag.

[Crease]

Cannonball (having fulfilled his objective for the season) relinquishes the IBO Title in the hopes of fighting for a World Championship.

And to that end, Caballero calls out Manny Pacquaio for the WBO Title.

He's won four fights in a row against Managed opposition, but Pacquaio would be his biggest scalp yet. A fight against Pacman would be bringing it to a higher level.

[NazNaci1]

Donaire wants a shot at either the IBO or WTF titles.

The streakin' Gomez wants a title shot against whoever!

[Crease]

The vacant IBO title fight will be offered to the following:

15 Harada Fighting 1364.4
16 Olivares Ruben 1354.3

Should either of them refuse, it will then be offered to:

17 Chandler Jeff 1346.5

Then after it goes to:

18 Ortiz Manuel 1341.8

[DMA1987]

Larios will face Monshipour

[DMA1987]

Panama Al will fight Anselmo Moreno for country bragging rights.

[Techno89]

Escobar will fight ARNOLD TAYLOR this week

[The Irish Assassin]

Jhonny Gonzalez needing to get back on the winning side of things, after being robbed against Zarate, will try to one up his stablemate by taking on Kid Hogan in a beat the clock challenge. Herrera was able to stop him in the closing seconds of round 6, does Jhonny have the goods to beat that mark?

Rafael Herrera will also try to one up his stablemate by trying to do what Jhonny couldn't... KO Motee Singh.

We at TIA encourage our fighters to try to push each other, but we don't like the grumblings that they may want to face off against each other in the nearing weeks. Hopefully this little challenge quenches their competitive appetite.

Jeff Chandler will defend his WTF strap against Wilfredo Vazquez this week. Me and kevo, already had the understanding that we would be going at it this week. Whether we won or lost last week. We are going with that plan.

Erik Morales ONCE AGAIN CALLS OUT JIMMY BARRY. I'm still here. Still at the top, and right behind you in the rankings. We all know what kinda man you are, but the challenge is out there.

Of course knowing that Jimmy Barry will turn me down I'm not getting too caught up in my challenge to him. Erik Morales also wants a title shot at Manny Pacquiao ....we saw that Caballero challenged Pacquiao, but we would like to remind Pacquiao that Morales has already knocked out Caballero earlier this season, and is 1-1 with him right now.

It's time for the Rubber Match sucka! What say you D?

[gilgamesh]

From some inside rumblings I'm hearing that's the way Manny Pacquiao is feeling about my challenge to him as well. D

[gilgamesh]

By the way we would like to bring it to BoxBuzz's attention that Erik Morales is UNDEFEATED in Non Title fights.

13-0-2 in Non Title Fights. Erik Morales.

[DaveyMac]

Johnny Coulon will fight Johnny Binge

Orlando Canizales will fight Tommy Abobo

[BoxBully]

Poonsawat ranked #21 wishes to fight Wilfredo Vazquez ranked #20

[armageto]

Herman is in debate. I see 3 challengers, knowing one is interested at least:

W. Gomez has been on a run as of late. Herman won what was a great first fight between them early in the season.

G. Rigondeaux has a win and draw against Herman, in two close fights.

C. Cabellero, like Gomez, has been on a run as of late too. Herman has never fought him, so there is interest there.

If both Barry and Pacquiao turn down Morales he will consider other offers.
