Re: Boxing thread
Obvious he was bang on something and it will be be far more than clen, just compare him a few years, juiced to the eye balls then so is 50% of the top heavyweight boxers Joshua, Whyte, Povetkin, Fury(failed a test)

Re: Boxing thread
So what is Golovkin supposed to make of all of this, he's going in against a drug cheat and the authorities are fine with this. Alvarez was already getting bad press before this, I wonder how he'll be received, and indeed remembered, now?

Re: Boxing thread
And yet somehow he shrinks down to 160 before going back up to that size. I remember the commentary during the Golovkin fight "look at the size of Alvarez, he must have really carbed up", now we know.

Re: Boxing thread
I never understand the reasoning behind modern athletes using Clen.
It's a beyond **** PED and there are many better alternatives available to a top level athlete.

I can't comment on other sports, but in Boxing they can play the contaminated meat card and depending on how high the levels are in the sample they stand a chance of getting away with itWhite Goodman wrote:I never understand the reasoning behind modern athletes using Clen.

Alvarez is a supremely talented boxer, but he has always been taken care of within boxing and seems incredibly well protected
GGG has too much class, but he could come out and kick off a right stink about the whole matter if he wanted to
The fight will go ahead as there is too much money involved, but here is to hoping GGG wins again only this time gets his hand raised in victory

Re: Boxing thread
Looking around at the reaction to this it clear to see that Canelo's reputation is at steak and may be tarnished beyond redemption. One way he can possibly save it is to meat the standards VADA have set out and not chicken out of the testing programme in the future like he did when he fought Liam "beefy" Smith.
If he doesn't the whole situation could be udderly ridiculous and butchered beyond repair

Re: Boxing thread
Scott Quigg missed the weight for a world featherweight title fight. 2.8 lb over. Shocking.

Re: Boxing thread
I think that's it for him now in terms of a title shot, Frampton said he'd give him another fight too had he won the belt.York Ham(mer) wrote:Scott Quigg missed the weight for a world featherweight title fight. 2.8 lb over. Shocking.
Regis Prograis destroyed Indongo last night, put him down four times in two rounds.

Re: Boxing thread
The Garcia Lipinets fight was a good ‘un. Mikey Garcia is brilliant to watch. Credit to Lipinets, he was game.

Re: Boxing thread
Mikey Garcia is the real deal
Weight issue aside, that was a great fight between Quigg and Valdez. That was disgraceful from Quigg and his team to refuse a next day weigh in too.
Valdez is quality, would love to see him against Frampton. One thing about Valdez, his last 3 fights have been wars. Almost similar to Brandon Rios, you don't want to be continually having fights like that. They will wear you down.

Re: Boxing thread
I can't believe the lack of buzz for Regis Prograis, he destroyed Indongo in two rounds with four knockdowns. Terrence Crawford does it in three and people are saying he could beat Mikey Garcia. I've been following Prograis and although he's still a little raw he can bang and he's one tough kid.

Re: Boxing thread
Just watched Joe Joyce flatten a American in 35 seconds, nothing fight. Hopefully they'll put him in with Chisora next

Re: Boxing thread
I watched that too, Donnie Palmer was in shocking shape and didn't look like he belonged in there. Unless the money is right I don't think Chisora will go in with Joyce, losing that would end his career.
