As a bonus the winner of the WBA regular belt gets to go to the poundland factory where the belts are made.
I actually felt bad for Oquendo 15 years ago because he got burned on a lot of bad calls because he wasn't A side and his style was NyQuil. But he deserved several decisions that went against him but he clearly lost to Chagaev and hasn't been relavent in forever. He should retire.
I can't believe Oquendo is still in contention for this. It's been what like 5 years since that Chagaev fight?
Wow so it all becomes clear. Pulev pulled out of the Joshua fight to fight for this vacant "belt". What an absolute ***** move, **** Pulev I never want to see him again.
Now imagine Pulev coming home to Bulgaria, in a 1988 black Mercedes Benz limo straight out of Muammar al Gadaffi's private car collection, holding that eclectic WBA regular championship belt towards his cheering hometown fans. Oh the sight!
Oquendo is the mandatory challenger to the WBA regular title. So he won't be contesting any eliminator.
the WBA should be ashamed of their top 10 rankings. they got guys like Ustinov, Oquendo and a bunch of other dinosaurs ranked. pure awfulness.
