The difference is that Aljo never earned his belt to begin with. Then he had 3 "title defenses", two of which were a split decision robbery and one of which was a TKO against a one armed opponent lol.

When he keeps saying “he looked off today”, he implicitly makes you understand that they brought Sean as a sacrificial lamb to Australia.

I like Izzy, but champs shouldn’t automatically rematches if they’re dominated, which he was.

It inevitably means that there are dudes on 5+ win streaks in the top 5 who never end up getting title shots. We don’t care about rematches like you think we do, Dana. If it’s close, sure. If not then move on and they can earn their way back like everyone else or retire with our respect.
