i was wondering if it was just me or would it also make sense for the title to become vacant and decided after a immediate rematch.

maybe it wouldent be fair to champions as it would have broken title streaks like eusibio pedroza's 19 title defenses.

But in the case of Dokes-Weaver II, the perfect solution.Maybe it would've woke Dokes' ass up and made him get serious.

In my opinion draws are so rarely draws, in the event of a true draw, there should be a mandated rematch in title fights.

dude, i think the thread starter asked if the title should be vacated after a draw. he didnt say anything like the challenger should win the belt with a draw or something. your post doesn't make much sense

It's not on breaking title defense or anything . . . it's very simple technically. If the fight is a "draw" then it's a "status quo'. Means . . . no changes . . . no movement. The Champ remains the champ and the challenger remains the challenger. Now if the title is vacant and the fight for the title is a draw . . . the title remains vacant.
