Don George vs Dyah Davis... does anyone care about that fight? George was stopped by Stevenson in 2012 & Truax in 2013. Davis got stopped by Bika in 2012 & lost a decision to DeGale in 2013. I think George is already done & Davis is going to win a close decision, but however... i don't really care how it turns out. Nobody of them is a champ.

Praise the IBO.

All the titles are bs to one degree or another. This title just happens to be the Dollar Store to the wider accepted titles Kmart.

IBO rankings look fine (not much worse than WBA/WBO/IBF) to me:

Not sure why these two guys are fighting for a title.

Hard to believe that the #31 and #38-ranked fighters by the IBO are battling for the title. Did 36 other fighters really turn down the offer to waltz into a vacant title fight?

I cannot respect any sanctioning body that has Ali Raymi #1 in their rankings

i thought the ibo had a policy the highest available guys rated in their top 35 could fight for their vacant titles.
now they're even breaking that rule? just leaving the belt vacant would be better for them, or lowering the
fee to fight for the title if that is what is scaring ranked fighters away

boxrec has him #5 and he could jump a position or two in his next fight. the ibo computer doesn't update
every night the way boxrec's does. ibo does it monthly, but both rankings are computer algorhythms.
