    Willie Monroe Jr., who will fight Gennady Golovkin on May 16 at The Forum in Los Angeles, has notified via his promoter Art Pelullo from Banner Promotions, that he will not comply with the WBC safety requirements. Consequently, he will not compete for the WBC interim championship in possession of Gennady Golovkin and in case he wins, he will not be the mandatory opponent for Miguel Cotto’s championship.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    He will if he wants to fight for the WBA title. The WBC have their rules in place for medical issues and to make sure a fighter isn't draining too excessively late in the camp. I think the window is 10% which would mean he's more than 176lbs as of Friday?

    He can still fight for the WBA title without paying sanctioning fees to the WBC for their "interim" belt. I guess it makes perfect sense. Still strange to see/read.

    He wont pay for that BS interim belt.

    He probably wants to rehydrate to as high as humanly possible.

    Doesn't matter, the canvas feels the same.

    These guys are scared to weigh the same as GGG. They want 20lb weight advantages, but as rubio proved, it dont matter.

    It was really a genuine question to be honest, I was just looking for an excuse to stick the word ''Worm'' in a sentence.
