“Absolutely, we are concerned,” Robles told The Ring. “That’s the first thing I’ve asked for, to make sure there’s VADA testing involved. Let’s hope there will be VADA testing, just to be on the safe side.”
Robles also questioned how Munguia’s result was handled, saying that the accidental contamination explanation did not solve the problem in his opinion.
“There are a lot of questions we don’t have an answer for,” Manny said. “He tested positive. How can they come in and say he’s not guilty? I don’t understand how or why he can be forgiven. If you’re wrong, you’re wrong.”
Munguia (45-2, 35 KOs) comes off the back of a unanimous decision victory over Bruno Surace in their rematch last year on May 3, while also carrying the fallout from the positive test that was later attributed to contamination involving a legal substance. Despite that episode, he was chosen as Resendiz’s next opponent ahead of other names in the mix.
Resendiz, who earned ‘Upset of the Year’ honors with a split decision win over Caleb Plant last May, has remained active in camp as he awaits confirmation of his next fight.
Fans have criticized the division of Munguia as the challenger for Resendiz’s title, as his record is 2-2 in his last four fights.
The fight is scheduled for May 2 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as part of a Cinco de Mayo weekend card headlined by David Benavidez vs. Gilberto Ramirez headline is.
