wrong weight for title?

I don't want to cause the editor responsible to slip into a potentially suicidal frame of mind due to this, but according to the WBO's website Osvaldo Lara is the Latino lightweight champion, not Latino Lightwelterweight champion.

I feel such issues must be rectified, or at the least looked into, in order to preserve, and possibly enhance, peace throughout the world. Also, just think what Osvaldo's Mum might do if she spots her son has been made champion in a (potentially) wrong weight category.

Thanks Jomo. Did you note the tough opponent he had to beat to get that belt and his WBO eliminator fight. :)

Yeah, but considering that the WBO has still managed to plunge to new depths:

Note Osvaldo's record states, "Lara reportedly 20-4-0 coming into the fight" as opposed to his 10-4 boxrec record.

Aye right. The WBO obviously recognised that handing an eliminator to Lara would be a joke, so they thought, "Quick. Add another 10 wins to his record. No one will notice."

FightFax added an extra win by putting in

twice in their 2005 RB on page 284.
