Re: Event#17 Moore vs Foster WBC Interim Belt
I posted the drama in a news release.......had to do with all sorts of scandalous behavior......However He will own half a strap until both half owners exit the MDT...then a unification......and then Moore has a mandatory, followed by JHL. All sorts of legal and sordid stuff brought about by nosy activitst groups that filed a class action. It's why the IBF and the WBA are so admired. And honestly to see your fighter show up again within such a mess is cause for continued suspicion and concern.
