looks like it's off SMH

I am known to take stands people are afraid to take. I STAND for VADA 24/7/365 testing for ALL boxers. This should never be refused or delayed. I stand against BULLYING in any form. I STAND against the disrespect and ABUSE of women and children physically, mentally and emotionally. AND I STAND against misogynistic culture. A grown man recently told the mother of my boys to 'snack on his ----'. We cannot ignore this unprofessional behavior. We cannot excuse the disgusting trolling memes created of my wife as 'just for entertainment'. I don't want other pro athletes to cross this line and think this type of behavior is acceptable. We have to maintain a respectable character, especially online, for the future generations to emulate, and not promote ignorance and foul behavior. For the boxing culture to change, promoters and networks should veer away from unacceptable behavior and not encourage it. That being said, as we've stated before, we cancelled this fight when they delayed turning in the VADA paperwork for 5 days. We have proof that the opposing side was neither honest nor forthcoming in providing the proper information to begin VADA drug testing. AFTER we cancelled the fight, then and only then did the paperwork suddenly appear. I do what I say. And as much as I want to knock him out, I'm going to take the high road and instead of highlighting his misbehaviors, I'm not going to give his example the stage or the payday that comes with it.
WOW I guess it's young casimero vs the monster next? Smh was really looking forward to this.
That would be ideal but kind of doubt it, apparently Rigo was going to be on the undercard and get the winner so likely the original plan of Casimero vs Rigodeaux
damn Memo be bringing the ether lol.
yeah I dont blame Nonito for wanting transparent vada if Memo's his juice guy lol we all saw what he juiced up JMM to do to Pac in their final fight lol.
Nonito should ask Memo to apologize then and not casimero right???
You would think.. and the thing is the VADA thing was confirmed by the WBC and VADA so there really isn't a good reason to cancel the fight.
Was revealed a few days ago that Rigo made no agreement to face the winner....he just stepped aside
that sucks, still a chance to salvage the Casimero Rigo fight

Man that silvertongue guy held it down like a true professional in the handling of that conversation!
When Rachel brought her Dad in the mix that was enough for me..

I like Donaire and think he should be favored to win but this is not a good look. Casimero had a fight lined up already with Rigondeaux but both parties went through the trouble to make this fight happen. Then Donaire's team got their feelings hurt over comments such as Casimero saying Donaire didn't want to spar with him back in the day and that there was a language barrier, now the VADA thing. That has since been cleared up they want an apology which is ironic:
"Now, the Donaires are demanding an apology from Gibbons and Casimero over the spat and threatening to walk away from the fight, with Nonito claiming that they’re responsible for the fight coming together and that Casimero has to play by their rules. I think it’s a bit rich to do so after spending several days claiming Casimero was dodging drug tests, then gleefully retweeting people straight-up accusing Casimero of cheating and calling his team pricks."

Meanwhile Casimero is training and the Donaire's are tweeting
Yesterday Nonito and Rachel went live with a rep from Team Casimero, Rachel even brought in her dad.. the video is mostly in Tagalog... but it just seems weird

Either settle this in the ring or just move on.. this would be the first fight being cancelled due to hurt feelings.
ahah what? but aint that all good hype for the fight tho?
I mean makes buzz and publicity and interest in the fight right?
I heard some fans say Casimero was saying shat about Nonito's wife or something but I guess that was just gossip or telephone game or whatever?
So is Casimero even getting fans over Nonito tho? I mean Aint most people know and fans of Nonito over Casimero?
Man I hope you are wrong bro if this petty feminine drama killed the fight thats some wack arse ish fo sho!
It was Memo Heredia Casimero's condition coach that told Rachel to SNAC ( a shot at Victor Conte) on his nuts in a video. Donaire and Team are blowing it out of proportion and making it seem like they all were disrespecting his wife.
First it was the sparring thing, then the language thing.. then the VADA thing which has been cleared up. Now they want an apology... not a good look for Team Donaire.
There's a perfect solution for all of this... settle it in the ring.
