WBA President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza has announced that the winner of the fight between Saul Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol will get a special belt due to the importance and significance of this Saturday’s bout. The belt, which has a different design and has the inscription of the names and faces of both fighters, will arrive today in Las Vegas. The belt also features a small engraving commemorating the 100th anniversary of the organization.
Niceeeee
Oh, the special wba belt. Has as much meaning as one of those plastic WWE belts you buy for your kid.
You have no idea what it takes to earn one !
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!
lol so exciting 🙂
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???
Agreed
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.
How about Kurtis starting with KKK?
So how many special belts they going to make for Canelo?
What if fight result is draw? Whi gets the special belt?
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?
Well, now I guess they’re really going to try
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.
Canelo wins easily
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?
