Thanks for the update Dan - very nice recap.

One question for Dan or anyone reading this...

----------------------------------------------------

A few weeks back Teofimo was taking photos with Canelo with all of his belts - including 2 WBC belts. I saw the same 2 belts again while watching the "In Camp with Teofimo" video on Matchrooms YouTube.

One is the "franchise" belt and the other is the "world title" belt.

I thought I was understanding all of this nonsense with the belts - but why does Teo have 2 WBC belts?

A couple thoughts / questions;

-----------------------------------

1) Interesting update on:

Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez will meet for the third time in early 2022 for the “franchise” title - is this the first time that a "franchise" belt has been fought for rather than "upgraded" out of the ring?

(Although I heard Teofimo Lopez Sr. mention at the media workouts that the "franchise" belt is up for grabs if Kambosos wins.)

2) Jermall Charlo is due for a voluntary?! What the hell was the Montiel fight then? Was Montiel a "mandatory"? I suppose another low risk-medium reward for Charlo again. (Yes - I am not a Jermall fanboy)

Earlier in Teofimo's career he won the WBC's regional Council Continental Americas belt. That could be it.
