Eddie Hearn wants WBC to allow Galal Yafai to skip the rematch of WBC with Francisco Rodriguez Jr. And he was appointed a mandatory contender to the champion of scales Kenshiro Teraji.

Rodriguez Jr. Doping history

Hearn discovered that Rodriguez Jr. (40-6-1, 27 KO) tested not only his fight with Yafail (9-1, 7 KO) June 21, but also in the previous fight against Josue Jesus Morales on December 15. This fight was recognized as a lack of competence.

Rodriguez Jr. Hearna’s warrior, Yafai, died, dropping him in the 12th round to dethrone him from the short-lived WBC in June last year in Birmingham, England. It was a one -sided fight, and Francisco Jr. She won the results of 119-108, 119-108 and 118-109.

Hearn is reluctant to fight Rodriguez again. This is understandable. Because he positively testing for two more fights, he is afraid that Yafai is fighting him again. It was such a one -sided fight that it is complex to attribute the dominance of Rodriguez Ped. It has always been a gigantic volume combination. This style is a cryptonite for Yafai’s approach to fight. He is a guy who loads on individual arrows, trying to knock out his opponents.

“How do we deal with in a situation where within two weeks of news about breaking the test. I do not know if he tested his test B”, said Eddie Hearn IFL TV About Francisco Rodriguez Jr. “He underwent the trial and decided it was an accident and he was unlucky.

“The fight is not in the most significant. The title is empty, but he can do it again. I found out last night that Francisco Rodriguez Jr. [against Josue Jesus Morales last December]. I noticed that it was missing in Texas. We reached the Texas Commission to confirm that he did not pass the drug test. “

It doesn’t matter that Rodriguez Jr. He did not pass the drug test in his previous fight against Morales. The collision from Yafai was still sanctioned. So Hearn has to decide whether he wants to let Yafai go from a rematch with Rodriguez or not. If he doesn’t decide, he will have to go in a different direction towards the world title.

“I want a full report on what happened in this process because we conducted VADA tests for this fight [Rodriguez vs. Yarfai]Hearn said. “If I knew that Francisco Rodriguez did not pass the drug test that night, we would have even more extensive tests. I would also say to WBC:” Is this guy qualify for the eliminator.

“So you tell me, Francisco Rodriguez did not pass the drug test in the last two fights. On the night of the fight he had drugs in his system. Now you want to order a rematch. Galal Yafai was in a situation where he fought with a man with drugs strengthening efficiency in his system within 12 rounds. Physically, physically, physically, physically, he took this night.”

Yafai beat that night. His trainer should have stopped the fight until the sixth round, because at that moment it was clear that Rodriguez was too good for him. There was no point in allowing Galal to stop there and absorb all this punishment against a better warrior.

Hearn requires mandatory yafai

“” If this guy has not passed the tests, not only one you do, do not order this rematch, “said Hearn. “Do what is right, i.e. galal yafai with a mandatory claimant for [WBC flyweight] World Championship title. Let Rodriguez go through his trial. It deserves the possibility of checking whether he is innocent or not. But don’t tell me that you interrogated within two weeks, you had a b-tripe, you went through all the documents and science, and you just went: “Oh, he was unlucky. He knew nothing about it.”

Hearn is wasting his time, hoping that WBC will allow him to skip the rematch with Rodriguez and become a compulsory contender for the title of 112 pounds. If Eddie does not feel good with Yafai Fighting Francisco Jr., he should tell him not to do it.

“What about the last? It is a disgrace that Galal Yafai must reculture this guy. It is time for Galal Yafai to have the opportunity after what he has gone through. It will depend on Yafai,”, said Hearn, asked if he would move forward from the rematch.
