Comments Thread For: Puello Tests Positive For Banned Substance; Romero To Box Barroso For Vacant WBA Belt 5/13

WBA and WBC desperately trying to keep Haymon afloat.

Only the insignificants get caught in the US. The ones with names are all clean.

Not really, they do some serious favors for the boys over at PBC. Why was Santa Cruz never stripped? Why is Davis the only fighter allowed to stockpile the secondary titles that they said they were doing away with? Of course some guys are gonna have their hands on those belts as well. They can't overplay it.

The WBC franchise belt and the WBA super are both duck belts, neither one have to fight their mandatory.

Cant hate on Rollie for this, what was he supposed to do, refuse a gift?

Look how fast. Failed the test, fight cancelled and stripped.

In the meantime other organizations take months and never clear how to proceed or to make the fighter fully responsible.

It took so long to report Khan's failure that nearly half of his suspension time had already passed!

I usually pupu on the WBA for having interim belts. For once I agree on one. Rolly should have never been given the shot at the "real" title.

Which brings enormous disgrace to them all, Canelo and Nery should've been stripped of their titles.
Unfortunately corruption abound's especially for the cash cow like Canelo.

Another damn cheat in the sport of boxing!

I didn't think too much of Puello to be honest, I think less of Rolly but his awkward style and decent punch make him a live dog against most fighters. This will probably turn out to be a better fight as far as excitement anyways, 2 Dollar Tree versions of Mayorga swinging at each other until one falls. I don't see it going the distance either since both have pop and suspect chins, maybe Rolly in under 6.

Lifetime bans will stop this
