Ricky Burns vs Michele Di Rocco for WBA Vacant Title.How could this be when Broner is WBA Champion?

Post by psychod1986 »

Ricky Burns has handed the chance to win a third world title but i don't understand how can Ricky Burns & Di Rocco be fighting for a WBA super world vacant title,when Broner holds that title as well and set to fight Theophane on April the 1st,with that title on line.How can this be?Has Broner vacate his title are is they taking his title away from him,it dosen't make any sense how can someone be making there 2nd defence for there title and then in May that same title is up for grabs.

Di Rocco is aggressive and easy to hit so we're in for a good one

If I've got it right, Broner is the "super" champion and Burns and Di Rocco are fighting for the regular paper trinket.

I hate the "super" champion, "regular" champion and "interim" champion nonsense that the WBA pull. They're an utter joke. Still, It'll be a good fight.

I'd be happy if they only had two champions per division.
