Comments Thread For: Herring-Oquendo Off Again Due To COVID; Mayer-Joseph New Main Event

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A card dedicated to rescheduling several bouts due to coronavirus has now been decimated by the infectious disease. Reigning 130-pound titlist Jamel Herring was once again forced to withdraw from a voluntary title defense versus Puerto Rico's Jonathan Oquendo, which was due to take place July 14 at MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas. Herring tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time in two weeks, this time with the results learned on the morning of the weigh-in.
In its place, Mikaela Mayer (12-0, 5KOs) will now headline Tuesday's edition of Top Rank Boxing on ESPN. The 2016 U.S. Olympian and current junior lightweight contender will face Nigeria's Helen Joseph in a scheduled 10-round bout that itself was relocated due to COVID-related reasons.

So is this actually a similar situation to Mayer as it is still showing up in his system somehow? Been over a month and now he has tested positive again.

Damn this sucks , always love watching and supporting my fellow Devil dog ...

These test are 30% faulty... Here’s clearly my timeline of when I contracted the virus, til the time I came back negative. I even woke up today on weight, ready to go, and even took an antibody test this morning to prove I’m fine, but the commission didn’t want to risk it. https://t.co/7Mv3ex0jbo pic.twitter.com/pItpOwq0rA

Damn, I hope that pic with Herring and Uncle Bob was taken BEFORE Jamel contracted Covid-19.

That's so ****ing frustrating.

Herring vs Covid II. They seem like they are destined for a trilogy.

Damn, I hope that pic with Herring and Uncle Bob was taken BEFORE Jamel contracted Covid-19.

Lol, Bob isn't take any pictures that close with fighters anytime soon...If so, he will have a mask on.

Mayer the last time she headlined had good ratings. Let's see if she can do it again. This card may beat Shakur's card that opened the TR series.

Actually the tests are more than 60% faulty but I’m sure Herring knows that and can’t disclose that cuz Disney/ESPN wants to keep up this Covid Hoax propaganda so they take more people’s liberties away as we speak along with help from governments an doctors!

I just think the testing isn't the best still. Are they only getting 1 test? I feel like everyone needs to take 3 tests at a time. If two of those tests are positive, Okay, let's go with that. If 2 are negative, probably negative then.

I heard that it's real easy to mess up the tests. Are they only going off the initial test?
