I'd imagine next week there is a good shot he is outside the top 10. First we have to see what transpires with Moore and the IBO strap, which might be vacant heading into week 11.

I believe your Langford vs Conn IBO championship fight was fought at 10 rounds. I simply did not recognize this as IBO sanctioned. I hope we don't have to slate all fights at ten rounds next week to make up for my lowful todying!

There is an old and odd Australian championship rule. I am not sure if it is still like this but previously, if the Australian champion fought in a non-Australian title fight (ie engaged in a 6-10 round fight) at the weight he was champion, his opponent would become Australian champ if he won by KO, regardless of the fight not being for the title.
Being that Aussie Sam won by a first round KO, does it matter if the fight was scheduled for 10 or 12 rounds?

No.....but there's a lot of manual loading of info into the software I have to do, and when I make an error, it can be catastrophic for some. lol So does this mean that Langford is the new IBO champ?

[armageto]

Guessing with Tunney's inconsistencies, he should / could be in with a shot.

Failing that, he will plough on and try and actually fight to his potential.

Langford starched him in one? He's the new champ, according to Shuffleshits.

ThankS.....I could see a real issue if it was a 10 round split decision....... I will be more careful to understand the status of fights before I run them.

[armageto]

Waiting to see who is in the top 10 so I can adjust my IBO rankings from there.

Langford is free to fight anyone in the top 12 of the IBO, which should differ too much from the last, I imagine.

Maybe the Langford vs Bivens happens?

This is not a good fight for Bivens, Because Langford is a very good fighter...and well.....my camp does not like to underwrite such contests for the most part. But....nothing ventured nothing gained....and they are the top two of the bubbling under fighters....so if Sam is up for it...we will roll the dice. Would Sam mind overtraining for this one? Or undertraining...or just not train at all? lol

We are going to assume we are invited to the dance. Bivens is poised to stand and deliver for the IBO..

Langford is happy to give Bivens a pasting this week.

Well we hope he's happy.

Sam is the new Lineal champion......how does the IBO manage such remarkable outcomes? Probably an investigation is required. However.....on the off chance that it's all legit, May we make a suggestion?

there has been a prize fighter special event.
There has been a WBO special event.

May I suggest a special event to help determine the new IBO champ or combatants? 16 man 3 round single eliminations have been the standard thus far. Happy to run one or even two pool filled specials for you if you feel that is worthy of an IBO elimination set of events. 32 or 16 participants would be required depending on how you wanted to proceed. You would of course determine the combatants be they pool or managed fighters. Or perhaps one side mostly managed and the other purely pool? Not sure you could find 16 managed fighters under the top 10. Though I think I could run 2-- 8 man single eliminations. I'll have to check the software's capability on that hypothetical. If you have trouble finding enough fighters in the current listing.....I have what I think is a greater number within the software inventory. This is just an option to consider since I believe Sam will be moving on soon. Since my guess is he will continue to be top 10 rated.

I would only publish the results as publishing the entire fight documentation is rather labor intensive.

Another way to go about it would be to put Jimmy Bivens up against a tomato can....and just let him be the IBO champ. He would appreciate that approach.....and would be open to contributing generously to any IBO fundraisers that may be in the planning stages. We assume you are a "non for profit" outfit?

[armageto]

Langford would get up to 2 defenses of the IBO, after he was ranked in the top 10. This fight would have been his first, so still one to go. After that, assuming he wins and remains in the top 10, we can take a look at options leading into week 15.


Shuffleshits will say the IBO belt now has launched two fighters into a higher career trajectories.....

So I'm sure we may assume that Bivens will be installed as IBO champion super duper ish.....once Sam is asked to step down? We are not just attempting to curry favor when we say unabashedly that we like the cut of your jib!

All options are on the desk of Steve Shuffleshits.

Well with all the ducks in a row, Bivens will face the Alabama Kid.

Rosenbloom will not face Spinks this week. Because well....Spinks Stinks.

However if he manages to win his fight against whatever tomato can he can persuade to step into the ring with him, we will be speaking with our advisory board to consider facing him next week.

[BoxBuzz]

we seek clarification.......

How will the IBO process the MDT? Will you be following your mission statement? If so your belt would likely be dropped by
the holder sometime during the tourney. I would assume that those who have been eliminated at the early going of the MDT would then be eligible to compete for it as long as they remain below the top ten in rankings? Would that be a safe assumption?

The IBO belt can be kept and defended in the tournament with whoever holds the belt. Once the tournament is over, or the IBO belt holders tournament run ends, the belt will go back to it's original purpose. If the fighting holding the belt is outside the top 10 at that point, he is fine to hold & defend the IBO belt. If he happens to exit the tournament and has the IBO belt in his possession, we will give him one title defense before the belt is vacated, assuming he wins that defense.

[BoxBuzz]

Then this would mean that the lineal and IBO belts will be aligned at the beginning and the end of the MDT.

It may be possible then for the IBO and Lineal and one other major belt alignment. Since both the IBO and the Lineal belt are kinda/sorta persona non gratis....(not meant as disrespectfully as it sounds). So it's possible....and perhaps likely that someone will hold all three honors at the end of the tourney. So the current lineal/IBO could acquire one more belt....but not more than one more. As the major belts will not be allowed to unify until after the MDT.

I hope this is clear. I'll CC Crease on this.

Along the lines of clarifying procedures, policies, and regulations......we've noticed that the IBO belt has been getting a free ride with with WBO and even the Lineal title. And now that the Slappin' Cheese Champ Emeritus Max "Battlin" Rosenbloom has inherited it...we wonder if we are going to be forced to vacate it? As Rosenbloom is probably too highly rated to be allowed to keep it.

But Maxie did want you to know that he has been dragging it behind his pickup ever since the day he got it. Not to be disrespectful but because it was just too shiny and clean. So he's added some weathering so that it looks more like Willie Nelson's guitar than a belt. So if he gets to keep it, he'll be carrying it like a guitar...since the weight of the WBO and Lonsdale belt sort of anchors him a bit.

Let us know if we need to drop it off to ya......or if he gets to carry it around for another fight.

You can just look at the second post, as all season, it gives you the weekly update on the IBO belt.

[BoxBuzz]

Whatever color you are using for most of the championship names...it's a good choice if you don't want me to see it. It's like using invisible ink against my particular sort of color blindness. I can make out one Sam Langford week...and Stribling and Now Rosenbloom....but all others are unknown to my eyes.

[armageto]

From the second post:

" The IBO strap is still involved in the tournament. Once it is out of the tournament, or the tournament is over, most likely scenario is a vacant title bout."

[DrDuke]

The Ultimate champion is "Smokin" Dwight Qawi of the Muhammad Gang. Dethroned the long lived champion Bob Foster and defended against the mighty Jürgen Brähmer, who has upset barely everyone here.

Wait a minute, not so fast, Kraft has just endorsed Maxie Rosenbloom as the ultimate "Cheese Champ" And General Mills has just informed GoldenBuzz Promotions that it's Maxie Rosenbloom that will be on the next box of SimWheaties. So let's just simmer down on the victory dance buddy!

His Cheese Championship is worse than the Regular and Silver belts!

And Qawi is the Unified IBO and Jihad champion. That's the real thing!
