WelshDevilRob Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) At the Celebrity Theatre, Pheonix, Arizona, over 12 rounds, for the interim WBA Heavyweight title. BJ Flores (34-3-1, 21 KOs) takes on Trevor Bryan (19-0, 13 KOs). Flores has earned his shot by defeating Jeremy Bates (26-18) and Nick Guivas (13-6). Bryan is undefeated, his best win a UD over Derric Rossy. The interim belt is on the line due to problems with the scheduled regular WBA World title fight between champion Manuel Charr and Fres Oquendo. Both camps have said that there is no problem and the fight will happen, in September, in Germany. But, the WBA can't wait to crown anothef World Heavyweight Champion. Anthony Joshua is their Super champion. Only in boxing. Edited August 12, 2018 by LondonRingRules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittbox Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion Wow, I think it wasn't listed as the interim WBA title fight few days ago. Let Shumenov gain some weight, he'll beat Flores like he already did in 2015 and WBA's favorite will be a champ in three weight classes! But maybe Bryan is good enough to beat Flores? I think he looked quite decent against Rossy, but I've not seen anything more from him. I think it'd be much better for boxing if Bryan wins it, because Flores doesn't take pro boxing seriously.

LondonRingRules Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion --- now is this the super interim or the regular interim? Or diamond interim? BJ, eh? Last I saw him he was getting mullered by Danny Green! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion Seems that no US or UK channel has picked up this fight. Boxrec has no details of the undercard. Heavyweight title fight with no TV but the WBA will get a sanctioning fee. Disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion --- Bryan promoted by DKing who has decades of illicit WBA dealings. All Bryan has to do is finish on his feet and he becomes the Josh mandatory. I'll say this for BJ, he's got one hot mama who showed up in Oz against Danny Green.

LondonRingRules Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion --- Flores dropped 6x. Bryan must be exhausted, but he's the newest WBA chump! Boxing News: Bryan wins WBA interim heavyweight title >> August 12, 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe strong Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion No surprise there but what was surprising is that King gave Molina the push the last few years instead of Bryan. Bryan looked good against Rossy then only had 2 meaningless fights since until last night. Bryan was supposed to fight Miller but Duhaupas fought him instead. Bryan is probably going to fight the Charr/Oquendo winner next but there is always the chance King has a couple in house fights for Bryan against Stiverne & Molina...

Gerald Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion I didn't think the WBA could get any worse than sanctioning Charr - Oquendo for the WBA 'regular' title but with this 'interim' matchup they have surpassed themselves.

sould664 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion Didn't catch the fight last week, how did Bryan look? Anyone think he can stand a chance against any of the big name HWs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Re: Tonight America will crown a new World Heavyweight champion Not seen any footage. Bryan dealt with him, how a Heavyweight should. So thumbs up for Trevor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
