Comments Thread For: Oquendo Turns Down Miller, WBA Title Shot Over VADA Testing

[yammy25]

How did this guy get a shot/ranking? Who does this guy know in the WBA? We criticise the WBC all the time especially with their Wilder mandatory situation but what about the WBA? They are a joke! No way should anyone that hasn’t fought for 4 years get a chance at any title.

Took the WBA to court and won. They're legally obligated to give him a shot at the regular title after he lost to chagaev who turned out dirty

I mean, I don't agree with this title, or Oquendo being the mandatory, but I do agree with his reasoning. Miller has been popped before for PEDs.

Dinu? Seriously? What about Dillan Whyte?

The fight would be in 3 weeks time he wants proper drug testing place considering the circumstances he has been in recently nothing wrong with that not to mention big baby has failed a test before

You make a good point for sure. Didn’t know Miller failed a test before. 3 weeks to prepare for Miller isn’t much time but that being said he has had over 4 years to prepare for his shot...

Oh that makes sense now thanks, whatever happened to the “lawsuit” that the WBC chairman claimed Breazeale would bring against them if he didn’t get his mandatory shot at the belt. I seem to remember that was the reason why Whyte couldn’t be mandated even though he was ranked higher than Breazeale.

I definitely agree with his point. Never knew he was owe a mandatory shot.

First of all why are they giving a 45 yr old inactive fighter only a month to prepare? Why not have Miller fight Whyte?

I respect you Fres Oquendo, principles are above money. These cheats need to be exposed.

It hasn't been called yet. Breazeale was named mandatory after his fight with Molina due to the legalities of the promises made to him by the WBC.

Because it hasn't been called.. he's been in mandatory position and named as such but wilder is free to give a voluntary defence or unify before Mando is called.

Mandatory for the WBC I believe is being called on December. So unless he unifies..then Wilder will have to enter negotiations or go to purse bids against breazeale within a set time period of that mandatory being called on December

Miller is over 300 lbs and has ridiculous stamina...the ped is strong with this one
