  • Oh, the special wba belt. Has as much meaning as one of those plastic WWE belts you buy for your kid.

  • I have lost count of all the special belts made up to entice an event. Maybe they should make an encyclopedia of belts so we can keep track!

  • What an absolute JOKE!!! The significance of this fight??? Nothing really “significant” about this fight at all. Also, is it just me or does Canela get a “special” belt almost every time he fights???

    • On the future, Canelo will be sitting on a park bench, telling people stories about how he got all those special belts.

  • with the wrong name etched in…scratch out Canola and put in Beeves.

  • Of course there’s a special belt for the winner. And what again is the occasion? A title fight? Maybe it’s the uranium belt.

  • Is there an additional sanctioning fee for this “special” belt?

  • Looks like it has some valuable stones in it so even tho it’s meaningless, little bonus value for the winner. Would make for a great episode of pawn stars

  • I wonder what the sanctioning fees on that trinket will be.

  • Another trick from those sanctioning bodies ! The special belts lol !

  • Gets the special belt?
    Is that along with continental, regular super champion and last, but not least the champion in recess belt?

  • Belts are only good for holding up your pants.

    – Royce Gracie, UFC 1 Champ

    • Royce Gracie has a black belt holding his pants up then , a belt signifies the talent and skills that a fighter has wether it’s Marshall Arts or Boxing

  • New belt,you cant be serious!!! Wbc and the rest,well done in devaluing all belts.

  • Does bivol still get the special belt still after putting a beating on canelo?
