It's good that journeyman are fighting journeyman, even fights. Not sure I'd pay to see three on the same bill though and don't know what the bogus titles are about, what a waste of money paying for the sanctioning bodies officials.

I was thinking the same thing, I wonder if the takings covered the cost of the sanctioning fees

Cant see how they are the worst matched? No real mismatches like some other cards, probably not worthy of title fights but good local card

The title as bogus as it is, is still better than any other regional titles IMO, not that i have a problem so much anymore with regionals, however when it's all remembered in the end, WBF title means nothing when comparing to the IBF,WBC,WBA and to a lesser extent IBO and WBO, but it means more than the WBO asia what ever, what ever.
So O'Donnell should be on everyones radar atm, The commonwealth and now WBF are here in Australasia, so who's going after it? Because both guys who hold the titles are certainly not the best Cruisers here.

Worst matched title fights says the header.
you might have seen worse but an undefeated Krishna fighting McNabney who has had 18 fights in Australia for 18 Losses is no even matchup in anyones language, let alone worthy of a title.

Your probably right about the title but Krishna been inactive for 2 years or so and McNabney has fought everyone, Waters in his last fight for PABA title. Not the worst matchup ive seen.

McNabney has equaled the Australian record.
Sorkitti and him have had 16 consecutive fights in Australia for 16 losses.
Who in Australia can beat that...
16 consecutive losses.

Paz Viejo has lost 18 straight fights from 31-1-2008 to 19-03-2011 but these were spread across both sides of the ditch.
Hopefully Paz, who boosted many opponents records, has hung up the gloves.

No, there was a slight mistake in communication, it's now been changed to the correct weight, which was Middleweight.
Johnny Krishna Jnr, is now the W.B.Foundation Asia Pacific Middleweight Champion, someone had forgot to advise the Commission prior to weigh-in, hence the work sheets had already been printed out before weigh-in and event.

If you are talking about the world, the worst still has to be the fight that still has WBC worthies running for cover.
In 1975 the WBC stripped Italian light flyweight Franco Udella of his world title for refusing to defend his title against WBC no 1 contender Rafael Lovera of Paraguay. Their lordships decreed that Lovera fight tough little Venezuelan Luis "Lumumba" Estaba for the vacant title. Estaba took Lovera apart in four rounds in Caracas, causing some consternation in boxing circles.
Guess what? Lover had never previously fought! His management falsified his record! Little Lumumba went on to successfully defend his title 11 times in two and a half years, beating the best of his division (including Udella) before losing his title to Freddy Castillo in 1978, a worthy effort for a man who was 36 when he won his title.
Rafael Lovera disappeared back into the backwoods of Paraguay and the WBC still wish they had never heard of him. I never get sick of telling this story.

BHrute, great story mate love it!!
Sounds similar to what Rohit Singh is trying to do! Apparently he was 24-0 with 24KO's until he was found out for faking his record. Now he's trying to fake it by setting up fights with family members who take dives and is currently 5-0 in doing so! The man...........no wait wont call him a man because hes not......the person is a complete coward!

He reminds me of a bloke we used to call "Ankles", because of what he was four feet lower than.

Kane Buckley was on a 14 fight losing streak when he retired a couple of years ago. As game as they come Kane. Just couldn't beat anybody.

He didnt have the right people around him. The kid had a huge heart. He was stuck with the Bohol team throughout his pro career.
