    Oquendo now says in his last fight against Tamayo he suffered a minor injury on his left hand and isn't willing to fight if he's not 100%. My guess is he finally watched some film on Vasyl and shamefully ducks a guy making his debut, couldnt even wait to get into the ring before taking a knee. Who the hell will Vasyl fight now. :fire

    "Como habíamos anticipado hace unos días, el combate que marcará el debut profesional del ucraniano doble campeón olímpico y mundial, Vasyl Lomachenko finalmente no será ante Jonathan Oquendo (23-3, 16KO’s).
    Oquendo, quien el pasado 17 de agosto derrotó por nocaut a Miguel Tamayo, sufrió una pequeña lesión en su mano izquierda, la cual no le permitirá estar al 100% para enfrentar a Lomachenko.

    “Me lastimé un nudillo de la mano izquierda en la pelea con Tomayo. No es nada serio, pero necesito una o dos semanas para recuperar completamente. Para pelear con un rival de la calidad del ucraniano, hay que estar al 100%”, dijo Oquendo a Decisión Dividida. “No quiero arriesgar nada si no estoy al 100%. Yo tengo una meta que es ser campeón mundial, ese es mi sueño. Peleamos con cualquiera que nos pongan de frente, pero tenemos que estar ready para que sea algo justo, así nos matamos en el ring”.
    Oquendo espera poder regresar al ring antes de finalizar el año y no teme a quien le quieran poner en su camino.

    “Espero que mi compañía (PRBBP) me consiga una buena pelea y podamos estar de regreso antes de finalizar el año. Quiero darle a mi gente de Vega Baja y de todo Puerto Rico lo que quieren; que me convierta en campeón mundial”, manifestó el púgil.'

    Maybe the injury is legit. If not, that's pretty sad that he would duck a guy in his debut no matter how good he was as an amateur

    The risk is too big if you look at the reward.

    So when Europeans use an injury as an excuse, the injury isn´t doubted (Vitaly-Chisora, Vitaly-Byrd, Helenius-Chisora), when non Europeans claim an injury, they´re lying. :huh

    Oquendo said he was fighting Lomachenko after that fight/after he received the injury and was implying that Lomachenko is out of his mind to face a fighter like him in his debut.
    Now he's saying "ouch my hand is going to stop me training for one to two weeks and I'm going to have to be 100% to fight, I want to be a world champion".
    What happened is that he got round to looking at footage of this guy who wants to fight him for his pro debut and he's shat his pants, he knows he's not going to beat him and that he'll be set far back on his quest to win a championship belt if the guy making his pro debut towels him up.
    I don't blame him really but it sucks for Lomachenko.

    It'll be someone else then, there's still time and a large choice available.

    Why fight an unrated with no pro fights, that,s a huge risk and if He manage to lose to 0-0 guy His career will suffer a lot. Good move by Oquendo, He will get rated by the WBO fighting bums in PR.

    Because that 0-0 guy is an amateur phenom who only lost once in 5-6 championship tournaments?

    Oquendo is wise not to take this fight, he'd probably get trashed by a professional novice, something that won't do wonders for his career.
