I´m just watching a fight in the "halbschwer" division (sorry don´t know the english word) of the WBA. They call it a championship fight. It´s between frenchman Bruno Girard and american Robert Koon. Now everyone knows that Roy Jones is the WBA, IBF, WBC champion in this division. Now what the WBA did was calling Jones a "superworldchampion" and giving another title they call "normalworldchampion" to another boxer, Girard. So they basicly have two champions know. Anyone heard of this before? Is the WBA doing this regulary now? I think it´s ridiculous and obviously just for the money. The boxing associations really do everything they can to ruin the sport. There seems to be quite some money involved because Girard seems to be pretty popular in France. The funny thing is: he can´t even box. Jones would beat him up pretty good and so would Darius Michaelzewski the german champion of the WBO.
