That they are. Would of been a decent unification bout where Alvarez would of had a chance to avenge his brothers loss.
This would not be a unification bout, because Trout is not a real champion. That being said, it's ridiculous that the WBC would reject this fight.
ASS COVER and nothing more. Trout wanted VADA testing so GBP ran to the WBC for cover. No words to adequately convey my feelings on this one. After all WBC has only ONE chump per division. :rofl WTF does this even mean? The WBC said Tuesday: “We do not accept unification, because if we agree we would be losing authority. We are not going to take away the exclusivity because we own the WBC brand.”
