  • 2023 was a medium year for Mexico in boxing
    We are far away when Mexico finished the year with up to 15 world champions plus 3 interins

    Now we closed 2023 with 10 champions if Rey Vargas still feather champion

    1alex Santiago
    2 gallito Estrada
    3 Julio Cesar Martinez
    4 Luis Alberto Lopez
    5 Jesse Rodriguez
    6 Rafael Espinoza
    7 canelo Álvarez
    8 Adrian Curiel
    9 rey Vargas
    10 vaquero Navarrete

    We beat good boxers like :
    Jarred Hurd
    Notshinga
    robeysi Ramirez
    Mark magsayo
    Charlo
    Sunny Edward’s
    Leigh wood
    Michael conlan
    Richard commey
    Lee mcgregor
    Yordenis ugas
    Nonito donaire
    Lorenzo Simpson
    Chris Colbert
    Sergei deryvachenko

    Etc etc etc

    We were robbed in a few fights (like always)

    And we had exciting fights like Munguía vs deryvachenko

    I hope we have a great 2024 year in boxing and not just Mexico but the whole world in order to enjoy what we like a lot …..boxing

  • And we got 5 new champions this year

    1 Adrian Curiel
    2 Rafael Espinoza
    3 Mauricio Lara
    4 Alejandro Santiago
    5 Emanuel Navarrete at 130 lbs

  • Thank God it’s the last time this year I have to see this Hack of a man.
    Please, Just Go Away you Crook

  • The WBC ranks a winless novice, Francis Ngannou, in the top ten heavyweights, ahead of undefeated prospect Agit Kabayel. That tells you all you need to know about the WBC!

        • Most of the boxing organizations are corrupt.
          WBC, IBF, and WBA.
          The only one I hadn’t heard of any corruptions is the the WBO

          • Who is the worst

            Thanks to wbo lot of Puerto Ricans become a champion or defend against weak opponents just like when Ivan Calderon defended against Issac bustos who because an injury he beat eagle kyowa

            So as soon as bustos beat kyowa , Ivan Calderon fought against bustos

            If kyowa had beat bustos Calderon would never ever would fight against kyowa

            Besides this wbo always looked for Puerto Rico fighters to fight in Puerto Rico and the worst the judges always benefit the Puerto Rican fighters

            Just like the huge robbery between Ivan Calderon and Hugo Cazares 1

            Etc etc etc

          • Get over it, fighters from all countries are subject to bad decisions or are you suggesting Mexican fighters don’t get controversial decisions in their favour?

        • Any of the boxing organinization are corrupt because now days we all can see what’s going on
          They made a mistakes or wrong decicions but they are not corrupt
          And wbc is the best

      • The WBC is THEE most corrupt organization. Between the Internet keeping it in check because of how fast information is exchanged and Jose’s son Mauricio lacking the smarts to do so, the WBC is not at the same level as in the past. But don’t get it twisted, the fixes are in between the organization, the refs and the judges.

        Nganou being ranked above other fighters who have been active for years is just the latest example.

        Don’t get me started on the 70s 80s 90s and early millennia when the WBA and WBC were screwing boxers left and right in concert the King and Arum dynamic duo. The IBF attempted to correct the issues and were given legitimacy by Holmes and Hagler, but the corruption eventually spoiled the organization as well.

        Now, if Mauricio reads this, he might just create the Almond encrusted titanium corruption-free WBC annual title.

        And don’t think it’s a knock on mexico because the same goes for the rest of the alphabet soup.

          • Yes, but I think born and raised in Mexico. There are thousands of Lebanese people sprinkled throughout central and south America.

          • True, but Mauricio referred to himself as an Arab, not a Mexican, when he went to Saudi Arabia.

        • Yea wbc changes the information but always looking for the best results for boxers and boxing fans

          • Carlos, I think you might work for the WBC. Come on buddy, fess up, it’s ok and we won’t judge you. At least we will know how your opinions are formulated.

            Or……is that you Mauricio?

            I’m joking of course…kind of… maybe.

  • My heart leaped in anticipation when I saw a new post from WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman – son of Jose Sulaiman. With trembling hands and in a fever pitch of excitement I clicked the link in expectation of another of his legendary anecdotes …and then nothing… I can’t even describe my soul crushing disappointment. No doubt everyone here feels the same. But let’s try and stay positive. I’m sure in 2024 we’ll be treated to more inconceivably stupendous anecdotes from WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman – son of Jose Sulaiman.

    • I’m so sorry for you disappointment Robert. Let’s try and stay in the spirit of the holidays and maybe understand that Mauricio, son of Jose Sulaimán has his hands full of mon–i mean schedules and family events which can throw us off our game at times.

      I’m sure, that in 2024, we will be graced by many columns, “did you knows” and an anecdotes of the day to fill us with joy and an uncontrollable appreciation for the finest in the sport.

  • And as far as nganou ranking we have to sulaiman why he is there

    Maybe you don’t like bit of they did it in front of everybody or was for a reason that’s why the rankings are public so this is not corruption

  • Now you all don’t worry about wbc or any other boxing organization

    Worry about the judges who always affect the boxing results giving wrong boxing results every 20 fights

    So every 20 fights there is a robbery

    We love boxing but boxing is the worst of the sports and everything comes because frequently judges wrong decicions/judging

  • So don’t worry because nganou is number 7 of the world

    It does not mean he will sweep the heavyweight division

  • Jaime Munguía can be the number 1 and he will never win a belt

    So you all guys don’t drawn in a glass of water

  • Carlos, be a fan of boxing not nationality , fighters, or the wbc . It’s Sad to see how someone with some boxing knowledge is lost or blind to the wbc corruption . The wba ibf who are corrupt also . They are businesses disguised as boxing organizations. They get money for their championships and rankings . Many of their fights are fixed. Do some research of FBI investigation reports on the boxing organizations and promoters , I hope this helps you with all due respect . There is an old saying in Spanish – No hay Peor ciego , Que el Que no quiere ver . Translation – there is no one blinder , than one who refuses to see .

    • FBI did an investigation, and indicted of Mr. Lee (IBF)
      Bob admitted to paying for a George Foreman fight (IBF)
      We all know about Don and the WBC, WBA.
      I dont defend countries, nor boxing organizations. When a fighter does well/does not do well. I comment on it, and dont let my bias, get the best of me. I think I am more critical of my paisanos..

      • And cases like this there are thousands but you see them from diferent point of view

        When you ask them why that happened then they explain you why …. Then You just say:

        “”””ohhhhhh””””

        For me corruption to be critized is if from one day to another Jaime Munguía becomes a champion without fighting nobody

        After that you should not care what they do because you don’t really know what’s going on

        All of the organization might be corruptive but as long as they dont affect boxing directly you should stay away from this

        And wbc is the best boxing organization ever

        The best boxers
        The best rules
        The most solid
        And the most valuable belt

        WBC

  • When we don’t like the answer we can always change the question or the definition of the word “corruption “.

    • Corrupt is corrupt, some of us can see it clearly as day and night.
      While others just pretend and make fools of themselves

  • The corruption within these “Sanctioning bodies” goes well beyond a crooked judge. I’ve seen it first hand.
    It’s corrosive.

    • From inexplicable scoring to having a L on Chavez Sr. Changed to a W. bad referee calls, a fighter big jump in the classification

  • Some people just like to standout (attention seeking ) by going against everyone else . No sense in trying to talk sense into them. They just feed off their self created “ controversy “. Wish him well……

  • Great pictures, some of which I saved.

    On this website, fightnews.com, I’m still trying to figure why I have a designation “Undisputed Champion”. What is its purpose? What causes it to change? There is no information on all of these designations and what they mean anywhere on this website.

    • I noticed the new designation is ‘Franchise Chamption’ now. Nice, but what does it mean? Why did it change? Is it tied to number of posts? Number of likes? Length of time posting?
