I don't mind it, even with the caveats you mentioned, because The Ring can't account for an overall lack of depth in the division. If the no. 1 and no. 2 fight, they can't very well say "you're not a good enough 1 and 2". However you raise a good point about Fana's inactivity, because The Ring drops guys from the rankings after 12 months' inactivity, and they do apply their rules rigidly.crusader wrote:Good match but I don't like the idea of it being for The Ring title. Fana is almost 38, ducked his last challenger, and will have been inactive for over a year by Oct 8, while Burns has defeated only one world class opponent and has made nothing but poor defenses. I think there are several fighters in the division who stand a very good chance against both Burns and Fana, so hopefully the winner of this bout will be open to fighting some of them.
