    Typical BS you expect from the WBA. I guess Fres Oquendo couldn’t make 140.

      This is exactly why belts don't mean sh$$ anymore. This guy is a complete stiff and wouldn't beat any top guy at 135 or 140 but he'll be a world champ lol. That's why I laugh when guys like Broner, Tank and others talk about being multi weight world champs when they beat nobody to win those titles.

          This is terrible. He just makes alot of noise nothing more. Probably not a top 20 fighter in the division

            Haymon influence with the WBA strikes again.

            Agree with all your points.

            I also think Teo and Taylor fighting for the title is just as bad. Both clearly lost.

              I remember something similar happened with Broner and Allakhverdiev both coming off losses yet fought for the vacant WBA 140 lb title.

                Yeah complete trash. The higher profile guys get fights all the time. Imo, Rolly is getting these fights because he sold the hell out of the Tank fight.

                Broner basically assured he would get fights with his act going back years.

                  Yeah he’s getting this fight because of his mouth 100%.

                    This is why the belts aren't real championships. They're just titles.

                    To be a champion you need to be recognized by the TBRB or at least Ring Magazine, even though they flushed their credibility down the toilet.

                      I blame Puello for all this but I've heard conflicting reports as to what now happens with the WBA title. Might end up Barroso vs Davies.
