MANDO NOTE: During the last "regular" week (Week 15) Barney Ross faced his Mandatory Challenger, Floyd Mayweather...
As such, this week is the turn of the WBA. And the Mando Challenger is Pernell Whitaker.

If any World Champion defends against The Number One Contender of their title rankings, their mando title defense will be moved back to its next rotation.
On this occasion, Pernell Whitaker is the number one for all four Titles.

Lets get the ball rolling

Corrales wants Pac-Man
Ike Williams calls out Camacho

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Corrales wants Pac-Man

Let's do it.

Ted "Kid" Lewis calls out Bob Montgomery (Ezzard) for a rematch.

[witherspoon]

Buchanan takes Miguel Acosta.
DeJesus will have Lakva Sim, but I will scratch that if Duran ends up without a title shot and armageto decides he wants the rematch.

[armageto]

DeJesus will have Lakva Sim, but I will scratch that if Duran ends up without a title shot and armageto decides he wants the rematch.

I do appreciate it sir. If you want though, we can wait a couple of weeks until a rematch to see how everything pans out at that point?

[witherspoon]

The ball is in your court sir, do with it what you will.

[BoxBuzz]

Whitaker is the #1 challenger for Canzoneri's title as well. And if Toni should decide to allow Whitaker a shot, he won't be forced to face his #1 when his time comes.

However....he won't be WBO champion if he DOES take the fight.


Tough Decision I suppose.

The weather has been atrocious in Belfast, Internet connection has been poor... I'll sort it out in a few minutes.

Buzz had stated an interest in fighting for the WBO Title this week, however that title is no longer available. As such, I have put Whitaker's mando shot for the WBA Title on the card - unless Buzz decides to agree to fight for a different World Title.
