Comments Thread For: Zerafa To Lara: Time To Test Your Skill Against Someone You Can't 'Pick' - Me, Your Mandatory

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Michael Zerafa has grown beyond tired of waiting for his overdue title shot. More than a year has passed since the Melbourne, Australia native has last been in the ring. The majority of his downtime is attributed to having to wait out an Erislandy Lara-Danny Garcia WBA middleweight title fight, for which he was contractually guaranteed to face the winner as the mandatory challenger.

This grossly overrated club fighter has bought into his own hype.

This is a perfect everyday occurrence example of boxing crime happening to fighters like Zerafa… There should be a March fight scheduled announcement this week with Zerafa’s name confirmed vs Lara. We know damn sure Danny G ain’t getting nowhere near Zerafa… let’s eliminate boxing corruption in 2024… give the deserving fighters their deserved opportunities!

PBC and the WBA causing a lot of inactivity for Zerafa. He hasn’t fought since 2022.

Lara can't fight Zerafa - he's already scheduled to fight Danny Garcia in 2027.

Did someone say "Danny Garcia"??? He still fights?

[jqSide]

Zerafa is losing patience. He's desperate. He turned down the Tzsyu fight and wanted too much money. Might have been a good decision, but he needs cash right now.

Lara is fighting Garcia next, then a long sabbatical for both after the fight. So it's a long wait for Zerafa. He might as well find a regular job.

How the hell did Zerafa become the mandatory in the WBA in the first place?

How the hell did Zerafa become the mandatory in the WBA in the first place?

Very easy. Luis Decubas, who some say is a WBA agent/fixer, is Lara's manager. The rankings are tailor-made for Lara. This is a pattern for Decubas, who by some magic easily secures WBA belts for his fighters. You can look it up if you want to. Start with Lara's record.

Sounds and looks like the wba cant be trusted to make this happen,, zerafa deserves a shot, what a night mare
