    Browne-Oquendo negotiations underway

    http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/browne- ... way-352409?

    WBA President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza has announced that negotiations are underway for a fight for the vacant WBA regular heavyweight title between Lucas Browne and Fres Oquendo.

    “Browne’s title shot came out of a legal settlement we had to do after we got sued by Browne’s people for stripping him,” Mendoza told Sky Sports.

    “I think the WBA grounds were very strong. He took us to court and we settled for giving him a title opportunity…that’s what we ordered. We have been listening to the promoters, that’s a very tough fight to sell. That’s a very tough fight to make because of the amounts of money, but they are negotiating right now. We’ll see what the outcome is.”

    They need to get this fight done and out of the way.
    Oquendo has been waiting for what seems like forever.
    its sad that this is a "title fight"

    The fact that Oquendo is still relevant and getting big fights is a testimony to the corruption of the WBA....

    Oquendo won the right to be the mandatory challenger in court. It wasn't a WBA decision.

    Wonderful news, Browne deserves it, Chagaev knows he was legit KTFO, which is why he retired, now that he has retired foreign fighters don't really have a reason to go to Chechnya anymore, which is great since Kadyrov is dirty as hell an WBA know it.

    Nothing wonderful about seeing Oquendo fight in a fight of this magnitude again. He doesn't deserve it.

    And let me guess. David Haye will become the next mandatory by beating Shannon Briggs. The circle is complete.

    Browne vs Oquendo, what a match to look forward to....
    And then Haye will have it his way again and can win a minor WBA title soon without having faced anyone close to the top and act as a World Champion.

    All set up nicely for Haye to pick up a belt early next year.

    He sparks either of these guys in the first 5 rounds

    Oquendo was caught with tamoxifen and anastrozole. He's a proven steroid cheat.
