Haha, WBO is a joke. I understand now why PBC fails to acknowledge this clown belt.

Kinda weird to "win" a belt without actually fighting for it.
Still happy for Teixeira.

Castano is mandatory. The WBO is trying to get their **** together with PBC after they said they wouldn't recognize them.

Hopefully they enforce that mandatory next. Then we will be 1 step closer to a unified champ at 154.

Lmao typical pbc ducker castano is.
Good for texiera. A fight with munguia would of been a good payday for him but hopefully he gets some as champ

You have it very backwards. Munguia vacated the title. Castaņo's team petitioned to be named mandatory contender and WANT to fight Teixeira next.

Do you think Al will go for it? I mean if Castano wins a WBO title will PBC start acknowledging the WBO in other contexts?

[Christhenatural]

That's a real tough out for the Brazilian in his first defense. Castano should be the betting favorite going into this fight, so not too much celebration and relaxation time for Teixeira.
