    Seems Chaves is having trouble getting his visa due to computer problems in the U.S which is delaying thousands of visa applications.

    Arum says he's giving the situation until tomorrow and if its not solved by then than Jose Zepeda (19-0, 16kos) will step in to replace Chaves.

    Fu Ck I was so looking forward to this one. Why do they wait to the last minute to do this? This isn't the first time stuff like this has happened and cancelled a good fight.

    Steve Kim just broke that Arum called Senator Harry Reid and talked with the ambassador. Should be taken care of soon.

    Ya I don't understand why they wait until the week of to get a bloody visa. Get the thing when the fights made, it's not that difficult.

    I find the relationship between Reid and Arum slightly odd, most greedy old Jews tend to be Republicans.

    Hope these issues will be looked into and sorted. This is a good competitive fight that I'm looking forward to.

    Seems it did got sorted out and Rios-Chaves is still on. Really good fight, one of the highlights of the summer schedule, and I'm glad it was saved.
