Comments Thread For: Teixeira: I've Been Training And Preparing For Castano Fight, COVID Got In The Way

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As hard as he worked to win the title, Patrick Teixeira takes offense to any claim that he's trying to protect his reign in any way. The reigning junior middleweight titlist is in limbo regarding his first title defense. Brazil's Teixeira (33-1, 22KOs) has been ordered to make a mandatory title defense versus Argentina's Brian Castano (16-0-1, 12KOs), with Golden Boy Promotions-Teixeira's promoter-on the hook to deliver a fight date and location to the World Boxing Organization (WBO), or a reason why the fight can't happen in a timely fashion.

The three-time Brazilian Olympian and 2016 Olympic Gold medalist survived a knockdown, two point deductions and a bloodied mouth to outlast Luis Coria in earning a disputed unanimous decision Saturday evening at The Bubble at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

If the guy can't get out of the country due to government covid travel restrictions it isn't his fault.

The sanctioning organisation has a few options but stripping him completely during a situation like this would be unfair and unreasonable imo.
