Comments Thread For: WBC Reacts To Mijares on Leo Santa Cruz Allegations

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Council wants to clarify publicly and events surrounding the status of former world champion Cristian Mijares in our organization.

We are very sorry to read some statements that seek to distort the facts and ignore what has actually happened. Cristian Mijares fought for the vacant WBC super bantamweight world championship, against Victor "Vikingo" Terrazas, losing a very close fight.

The WBC agreed, by vote, that Cristian Mijares be provided with a new opportunity for the title. The routine practice of our organization is to allow the new champion to make a voluntary defense prior to the mandatory, which is compulsory after winning a vacant title. [Click Here To Read More]

wat WBC BS whomever "stated" all this...bottom line is Mijares doesn't get his shot as Santa Cruz is looking elsewhere, maybe Texas in Dec...

This sounds like some sort of Mexican championship, WBCoM, World Boxing Council of Mexico. Mijares has been around the block a couple of times, let Leo look somewhere else, on another continent (Asia). Mijares has worked at the craft, no doubt, but he's seen his best days, and so have we.
