Now I don't like to post here too much because of all the keyboard warriors and so called boxing experts who never entered the gym and I prefer to spar and talk about boxing with real fighters from my gym than with the virtual fighters, however I couldn't ignore this thing:
Funny how all these hypocrite Al Haymon fans who used to mock Kovalev going out of the purse bid because he has a contract obligations with HBO and can't fight on Showtime (the same HBO Stevenson left to duck him, even though people are saying he has no exclusive Showtime deal yet, btw), are now crying and calling Povetkin a bitch for pursuing the purse bid "instead of being a man" and winning the title in America, in the champion's yard...
But they are also crying about an other thing as well: Crying about the russian testing agencies while they are forgetting about USADA and finding every possible excuse for them. Just because Floyd, Haymon and the whole PBC are worshiping USADA - the most corrupted agency, as the greatest thing that happened to boxing, no matter how much dirt is found on USADA, they are still ignoring it and acting as if nothing happened. And I'm not saying the russian testing agencies aren't corrupted, they probably are and I'm as suspicious of the russian testing agencies as them. It's just funny...
:wave:
See you haven't read my post, I said that I'm as suspicious of the russian testing agencies as Haymon fans and that they are probably as corrupted as USADA. In fact I agree with you.
I wouldn't even bother with the user you're replying to. The prejudice is rooted deep. Just sit back and enjoy more Americans getting exposed.
Another guy spouting feelings and hunches to support his bias... *yawn*...
Most people defending Russian testing...

That last one is definitely suspicious if you remove your own, personal, racial bias.
Povetkin has actually fought better opposition post-Wlad than he did pre-Wlad and not only is he stopping these guys, he is wobbling them with grazing shots or dropping them with jabs.
You can develop a lot of things but genuine, mind bending power isn't one of them, especially against better opponents. Not to mention his physique has transformed into being carved outta granite. There's something going on for sure.
I will however agree with the overall sentiment of the thread i.e. there's nothing wrong with purse bids.
But we can't deny that the last time Stevenson/Kov negotiations got real, it was the latter's team that walked away.
Povetkin changed his whole team and training methods after his loss to Wlad. Off course his physique got better, but he still doesnt have abs and ****... He just looks like a well trained athlet.
I am also tired to repeat that PED's cant improve significantly your power or chin, they can only help you to gain muscle mass in a short time (Marquez in Pac IV-fight looked REALLY suspicious to me) or give you a better stamina. Ok as a bonus effect they may improve your speed a bit, but thats it...
If you look at Povetkin impressive wins over Takam and Perez, that were just perfect placed and timed shots...
So true, everything :lol1:
You & mlac are just a pair of salty bellends who's lack of boxing knowledge was exposed when the Furious One took your hero to school.
Stop crying lads.

And their PED-talk in general is dumb as ****:
"Uh, Kovalev hits too hard, he is on PED's."
"GGG is to heavy handed, he is on PED's"
"Povetkin is KO'ing everybody since his loss to Wlad, he is on dat juice"
Btw, Jacobs, Spence and Wilder have also very high KO-ratio, but I never heard those fans mentioning even once, that they could be on PED's.
They are pathetic, uneducated losers, who are scared for all those fighters getting their glass jaws shattered.

The Russian doping scandal is colossal and far-reaching, it's no joke. In recent times it's resulted in the likely assassination of key players in Russia who were on the verge of exposing the truth about what happened. There is a very legit concern there because people are actually being killed because of what happened.
I'd agree that no agency can really be trusted fully, USADA included. I'm sure there are cases of corruption there too, but I'd guess they're more tailor-made towards a select few individuals. But the Russian doping scandal is on a whole other level of corruption (given the current evidence we have) because it was institutionalized doping on a national scale.

yeah, well it's not exactly hard to pick holes in their hypocritical opinions as they are mostly retards.
They kinda remind me of fury fan's pre klitschko, it was all kind of tongue in cheek 2fast2fury talk, like he has skills but really..he is a big fat feather fisted oaf. he win's and now he's ali :rofl: if wilder win's he will become the GOAT
i just hope and pray sasha puts bum squad to sleep.
So true, everything :lol1:

Most people defending Russian testing clearly haven't made any attempt to look into the discoveries made. I like Russia, as a country, as a people, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend their government isn't rife with corruption, all the way on down to their state sponsored doping. Lying about it means you have no integrity. Same goes for people who make excuses for the sloppy and inconsistent work done by the USADA.
You quote me and debate a point I'm debunking from ts about usada. I don't get it. I said I don't have anything against a purse bid. I said the wbc is teamed up with vada.. So you tell me what my issue is since you seem to be bringing up nothing I'm debating here.
"As far as Wilder-Pov goes, I really don't care about it going to purse bid"
I'm obviously not asking about your issue, as you've already said you're fine with it all. I quoted you as you provided an argument surrounding WBC/VADA.
I meant in general, what is the wider problem here? Wilder will be fine in Russia. The athletics doping scandal surrounding RUSADA and the IAAF can be disregarded if the Russian agency isn't involved.
RUSADA doesn't have to be used for Wilder-Povetkin in Russia, they can use VADA like you said
So whats the issue then? Wladimir beat Povetkin, in Moscow, without the involvement of RUSADA, and got a pretty fair shake. A pretty lenient one.

"As far as Wilder-Pov goes, I really don't care about it going to purse bid"
Dude what are you taking about? Kovs team asked for an immediate purse bid, before signing an exclusive HBO contract. Afterwards, they pull out and claim they can't fight outside of HBO. This ISN'T excusing Adonis running off to showtime, but it is what happened. IDC who's to blame for whatever occurrence, but the simple fact of the matter is that this fight isn't happening. Which is a damn shame. Because whatever side you side with, just know that they are to blame one way or another.
As far as Wilder-Pov goes, I really don't care about it going to purse bid, but have you read anything about the doping scandal in Russia? The recent deaths and cover ups from people involved with RUSADA? The guy just died a couple weeks after he was ready to uncover the doings of people involved since the 80's. Hell, just look at their meal count in the last two World Championships since this came out to notice the significant drop off.
And if you and your real warriors knew anything, you'd know the wbc has teamed up with vada to form the "clean boxer program" to help stop, prevent and catch boxers that are trying to cheat the system. Not usada. Which, for whatever reason you seem to think are corrupt, is still the program that wada uses for the usa. The same one that does testing for the Olympics, pan am games and other sports.
However, this goes both ways because you'll see pbc detractors trip themselves and eat crow or look utterly ridiculous when they say one thing about their fighter that's on anything not pbc affiliated and flip the script, misderect and completely ignore the exact thing they accuse pbc fighters of doing. Both of those things are funny..

It's simple really.. clear bias going on..
Oni seluiut jopu tem kto takie je kak oni
Oni chasto smeyutsya nad nashimi bokserami i upotreblyayut termin "belaya nadezhda". Posmotrim na nih, kogda Kovalev i Povetkin nokautiruyut 2 chernie nadezhdi, Worda i Wildera, haha.
And their PED-talk in general is dumb as ****:
"Uh, Kovalev hits too hard, he is on PED's."
"GGG is to heavy handed, he is on PED's"
"Povetkin is KO'ing everybody since his loss to Wlad, he is on dat juice"
Btw, Jacobs, Spence and Wilder have also very high KO-ratio, but I never heard those fans mentioning even once, that they could be on PED's.
