Comments Thread For: Team Oquendo React To Chagaev 'No Rematch' Stance

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK, NY – Ruslan Chagaev’s promoter, Terek Box Event and its principal Timur Du****ev issued a press release yesterday in which Du****ev stated that “there will be no rematch between Chagaev and [Fres] Oquendo” and that “actually, I sue [Oquendo] in Moscow for returning the purse as stated in the contract.”

On April 7, 2015, District Court Judge Ronnie Abrams of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in Oquendo vs. Terek Box Event (Case no. 14-cv-9835) preliminarily enjoined Terek Box Event from “promoting or managing Ruslan Chagaev in any bout for the World Boxing Association (“WBA”) World Heavyweight Championship, unless Mr. Chagaev first shall have defended his WBA heavyweight title against Fres Oquendo or vacated the WBA title.”

Poor Oquendo. Dude has got to be one of the unluckiest fighters active today. Guy should have wins against Byrd, Toney, Mormeck and Holyfield and would've had a win against Tua if he hadn't gotten careless.

That being said, I don't have any sympathy for him in this case. I can't see why Chagaev's team would offer $1 mil with a rematch clause for a fight of this caliber. Fres got paid $225,000 for fighting for a worthless trinket (which was too much money to begin with). This just sounds to me like Oquendo is sour and wants to get another decent payday. Sorry Fres, I'm not buying it.

This isn't a world title. It's a trinket #1 contender spot. There shouldn't be a rematch clause since it isn't a real world title. The WBA is a joke for even having a regular & interim champion. Rematch clauses for an imaginary belt...

Yeah, yeah could've, should've, would've. If you want to win, put your opponent on the canvas, force the stoppage - don't let it go to the scorecards

Neither Chagaev nor Oquendo are top 25 HWs at this time. The WBA was being riciculously ****** to have then fight for a vacant WBA title, where there are many better HWs.

Chagaev and Oquendo should both retire.
