MANDO NOTE: This week is the turn of the WBO. And the Mando Challenger is Henry Armstrong.
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.

[witherspoon]

Esteban de Jesus would like to fight Cleto Locatelli.

Ken Buchanan would like to challenge California Jackie Wilson for the WTF. I will name Enrique Bolanos as a cpu back-up if that doesn't work out.

[Fist of Legend]

Mayweather offers fights to Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri or Carlos Ortiz, first to accept will get the shot.

Marquez will fight a cpu to be named later.

[armageto]

Angott vs Castillo should be on for this week.

[armageto]

Roberto Duran would like to see if any of the following are willing to fight this week:

Barney Ross
Carlos Ortiz
Packy McFarland

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Both Ted Kid Lewis and Manny Pacquiao feel like they have unfinished business with both Carlos Ortiz (Controversial) and California Jackie Wilson (DaveyMac) and would be very happy to fight it out for one of the minor belts with either.

Otherwise TKL would be interested in facing Florentino Fernandez ('Frilla) and Pacquiao would be interested in facing Joe Gans (Tomasino).

[DaveyMac]

Question Crease, Benny Leonard has like 5 defenses now can he fight Langford for a unification and Lonsdale?

[BoxBuzz]

Whitaker strongly suggests Langford lay down his belt or Whitaker will lay down his own to vie for Lonsdale pride.

Perhaps both should toss their straps.

Sammy boy took advantage of a partied out Roberto, and thus has no legitimate claim to his ABC belt.

Whitaker stood up for the Damsel Gans when he was bullied about, and now Sweet Pea will set Sam on the right path as well. He should never have exploited Duran in such a way.

To take advantage of a fella who was breaking training to wine and dine the women and engage in beer hall brawls is not an upstanding thing to do. Roberto was just a shell of his former self. And Sam knew it.

So......Let's play it again Sam.

[Controversial]

Manny Pacquiao feel like they have unfinished business with both Carlos Ortiz (Controversial)

Ortiz accepts Pacman's challenge

Laguna would like to fight Alexis Arguello


EDIT: Assuming Ortiz has to defend his title to a challenger ranked 15 or below. If Ortiz can accept Mayweathers title shot offer then he will take that instead.

[DaveyMac]

California Jackie Wilson either wants to fight someone he hasn't or someone that he has a compelling reason to fight;

so he will offer title fights to;

Jimmy Carter (who got an SD against him early in the year)

Pedro Carrasco (let's finish the trilogy)

Florentino Fernandez (how have we never fought?)

[DaveyMac]

If the commissioners will allow it Benny Leonard would like to make a super fight unification against Sam Langford.

[armageto]

Question Crease, Benny Leonard has like 5 defenses now can he fight Langford for a unification and Lonsdale?

No, he can't. Langford just won the title. He has no defenses.

[armageto]

Roberto Duran would like to see if any of the following are willing to fight this week:

Barney Ross
Carlos Ortiz
Packy McFarland

Ortiz might have accepted a fight, so the offer goes out to Ross and McFarland.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Manny Pacquiao feel like they have unfinished business with both Carlos Ortiz (Controversial)

Ortiz accepts Pacman's challenge

Laguna would like to fight Alexis Arguello


EDIT: Assuming Ortiz has to defend his title to a challenger ranked 15 or below. If Ortiz can accept Mayweathers title shot offer then he will take that instead.

Got my hopes up there. But then, what about Kid Lewis vs Laguna for the vacant IBO instead? It would be #18 vs. #17 in the rankings?

[Controversial]

But then, what about Kid Lewis vs Laguna for the vacant IBO instead? It would be #18 vs. #17 in the rankings?

If they allow it then sounds good to me

[el_grande_mauro_mina]

Nice one Dave - Pedro Carrasco accepts! Cheers!

Beau Jack will take on Lavka Sim.

[BoxBuzz]

Wait a minute.....what belts did Sam "unite" to claim the Lonsdale belt?


THIS IS A SCAM........


However, Whitaker would still face Sam if he renounces his title, or he would renounce his to face Sam.


But the Lonsdale belt should not be available to anyone at this point.

And yet....Crease's post claims that Sam Langford is the Lonsdale Champion....

How so?





Crease....you got some 'splainin' to do.

[Jpreisser]

Armstrong gets a mandatory shot, which we will accept.

Ad Wolgast will take on Arthur King.

[BoxBully]

Mayweather offers fights to Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri or Carlos Ortiz, first to accept will get the shot.

Marquez will fight a cpu to be named later.

Canzoneri is game for a shot at the green belt D

[BoxBuzz]

Armstrong gets a mandatory shot, which we will accept.

Ad Wolgast will take on Arthur King.

If Sam Langford accepts the challenge from Whitaker we are now bound (by our word) to drop the WBO belt and face him.

However, If he does not...we would now prefer to defend the WBO belt against Armstrong.

We accidentally issued this challenge based on Creases false information that Langford had the Lonsdale belt.

But nevertheless, we must stand by our word.

It's up to Sam and his manager. But if he let's us off the hook, then great.

[BoxBuzz]

I believe that Angott and JLC have a deal for this week.

[DaveyMac]

Langford does have the Lonsdale he beat the man that beat the man and therefore.....


Sammy Langford, drop your silly title and come after Benny Leonard for WBA and Lonsdale

[Jpreisser]

Armstrong gets a mandatory shot, which we will accept.

Ad Wolgast will take on Arthur King.

If Sam Langford accepts the challenge from Whitaker we are now bound (by our word) to drop the WBO belt and face him.

However, If he does not...we would now prefer to defend the WBO belt against Armstrong.

So if the belt is dropped, does that mean Armstrong fights for it as it will then be vacant? If the Langford-Whitaker bout does come off, Armstrong would extend a challenge to all titleholders. If for some reason Henry has to fall back on a cpu opponent, he will face Adrien Broner.

[Techno89]

Roberto Duran would like to see if any of the following are willing to fight this week:

Barney Ross
Carlos Ortiz
Packy McFarland

Ortiz might have accepted a fight, so the offer goes out to Ross and McFarland.

McFarland will take the fight
