  • Does anybody really care? This is simple promotional tactics by corrupt boxing body to juice up the event for exposure.

    • Not really because is undisputed vs undisputed

      I’d believe your theory if they do this in a cheap fight

      • That’s everyone’s way to defend this joke of a fight, “it’s undisputed Vs undisputed”. One guy has beaten a bunch nobodies while the other has fought and beaten just about everyone, fought in multiple weight classes and was considered (maybe still is) P4P number one and the face of boxing. Canelo has never really even been visibly hurt let alone knocked down or out and Charlo sure as shit isn’t going to be the one to do it. However….. I will say that Canelo has appeared to be slipping in his last couple of fights, if Charlo can withstand an early onslaught he may have a pretty good chance of out working Canelo, and if the fight isn’t 100% rigged winning on the cards. But that’s a long shot no matter how you look at it. I’m not giving Charlo much of a chance.

        • Every time Canyellow fights, the WBC comes out with a “special” belt!

          Which pretty much runs counter to being “special”, but hey, they’re both Mexican so the lack of intelligence and seriousness should be expected.

    • Scooby, The bogus belts are nothing new. The Ring Magazine created anew belt in 1940 for the Dempsey-lLutrell “fight.” Dempsey had been retired for 13 years. Cowboy Lutrell was a wrestler and had never boxed. It was a fiasco. Dempsey was handsomely paid and belted.

  • With or without a belt, watching Canelo vs. Charlo is on my Saturday list of things to do.

    • Was thinking the same thing. They had a “special belt” for several Canelo fights lately, including his last one which was just a routine defense against Ryder. The bigger purses Canelo brings = more $$$ in sanctioning fees for the WBC, thus the royal treatment I suppose. I believe they had one for Crawford-Spence as well.

    • I don’t think it could be too expensive but it means a lot because most of them are made by crafty Indians from Mexico whom built the belt by hand with gold strings

      • Yeah, those CRAFTY Mexicans creating “special” belts and wooden dolls while the rest of the world is creating processors the size of a grain of sand capable of trillions of equations in less than a second.

        All of Mexico should be proud!

  • OK, I actually like this look nice belt, can’t wait till Saturday, love him or hate him Canelo fights have become a huge event win or lose, it’s party time….let’s go!

      • There are already 4 titles at stake here, so the winner doesn’t need the extra WBC plastic, $10 piece of c#$p belt.

          • Who said it was a title belt? Try and read for comprehension. With title 4 belts on the line who the f$%k needs a WBC award belt? R u thick or what?

  • This is a very important boxing match worthy of a special belt beautifully crafted by Angelica Moreno. The multi colored enameling depicting national flags of the world is a great idea.

  • Again, the WBC president kissing A$$ with that special belt, hoping, Canelo win that fight, granted, the belt is cool, but, instead of giving a special belt to the winner and making such a big deal about it, how about making mandatory, a fight with whoever wins between Benavidez vs Andrade, that would be more exciting for boxing fans than a belt that doesn’t mean anything, just a belt that’s going in a closet. Mauricio Sulaiman needs to stop protecting Canelo and order the fight everybody wants to watch.

    I’m a boxing fan, Canelo has accomplish a lot, but the last few years don’t freaking tell me that he hasn’t cherry pick opponents, fighting guys that is a lot older that him, draining fighters to made them weaker and moving to different weights when is time to fight a mandatory one that he knows can give him trouble.

    He needs to stop, he needs to fight the top names if he wants to have a legacy and be remember as a fighter that try to be great, cherry picking is not the way. Great fighters like, Ali, Roberto Duran, Sugar ray Leonard, J. C. Chavez senior, Tito Trinidad, Miguel Cotto, Salvador Sanchez, Mike Tyson and so on, all of them have loses, I bet you no one can argue their heart, cause they didn’t care who they fought, instead, Canelo skip mandatory fighters and move up & down in weight so he can keep feeling his resume with paper champions, C’Mon bro, we’re not blind, it’s been 3 years that he’s been running from Benavidez, the same way he avoided GGG and everybody in the world know that GGG was robbed in that 1st fight by giving Canelo a ridiculous draw, he tried to cherry pick with Bivol and he got destroyed, still, Canelo has the nerve to say that he’s better than Bivol hahahaha, so why not giving a chance at 168 pounds, cause its gonna be the same result and a humiliation, plain and simple. WBC, grow some hair and hurry up and mandate the fight of the winner of Canelo/Charlo and Benavidez/Andradre.

    Thumbs up if you agree and if you don’t, is ok, I respect everyone opinions, even Canela hard fans hahaha, I promise, I won’t lose my sleep if you don’t agree. Lets hope is a good fight this Saturday.

    • Your claim of cherry picking is not supported or justified, Canelo done what champions do, he went into the Super Middle Division, cleaned it out one champion at a time.

      • Yeah, I know, again, he cleaned out the division full of paper champions, let’s have a conversation when he fights Benavidez, Morell Jr. or Andradre, oh wait, we won’t have a conversation, because he’s afraid to fight those guys, that’s why he’s been avoiding them for the past 3 years hahahaha.

      • Yeah, I believe a corrupt organization based in one of the worlds most corrupt country on earth.

        • LOL, seem like a small inferior person, Mexico and the United States have a long history.

      • You will be surprised. Once I read that there is a tag on this kind commemorative belts.
        If that piece is accurate then I don’t see the point of buying vs earning

    • You do understand that the belt is solely for this fight and is not for defending purposes, solely to display at winners home.

      • A fixed fight.

        Charlo had to go up TWO weight classes and no doubt Canyellow will, as per usual, rehydrate an addition 12-18 lbs.

      • Nope at all if you take into account
        1- 154 lbs vs 168 lbs
        2- both are evading their mandatories, one for the Benjamins, the other for an illusion.

        If Canelo fight Bivol at 168 lbs, or Bandera , any of these would be special and epic.

        If Charlo fight Tim, it would be an epic and special

      • No when one of them has to go up 2 divisions, How about Canela fighting Bivol, Benavidez, Andradre or Morell Jr. Sit and wait, cause Canela gonna retire before WBC mandate one of those fights, Canela going to keep running away from those names, I bet you he’s going to get a rematch against Charlo, (that would be the 2nd fight of a 3 fight contract) then either fight somebody a lot older than him for the final fight or he try to get the other Charlo, which was supposed to be the one fighting with him this Saturday, either way, he’s going to retire and spend the rest of the day playing golf, lol.

  • Another joke belt by the WBC ! Yep I know,I don’t have to watch. I won’t. Just farcical.

  • Canelo has a great belt display at his home. Does anyone know how many of these “special” titles he has? I know the WBC likes to make them for his fights.

  • You don’t say? A special belt for this event? Wow!!! I’ve never seen that before. This is truly a sthpethial even.

  • Those Pakistani replica belt makers on eBay love you, WBC! Pretty soon they’ll have a cheap knock-off version of this belt for sale along with the other 500 versions available.
