These "A side" ashls want to have all the advantages with the minimum risks. Strip that fckr already. Then he can fight whoever he wants at whatever weight.
This would hit boxing hard as it would kill state funding in the most countries. However constant robberies and prearranged medal counts must end. And I dont see the corruption getting any less under that Uzbek mobster.
No, what journalists need to do is to not recognize the WBA period.
There's no such thing as the "WBA regular title." It's the WBA world title. Made meaningless by their decision to also have WBA super titles. The super title shouldn't be recognized and the world title shouldn't be recognized anymore after 17 years of being beneath the super title.
But to insist that Povetkin wasn't world champion is factually incorrect. He was world champion. Held the same title as Ali and Tyson. The WBA will never get rid of the super titles instead fans and media stop recognizing ALL of their titles.
Its not what you call it, its what it is. And what it is is that so called super is a number one in their rankings and regular is number two. You cant say number one is no longer a champion because WBA decided to call him a super. Povetkin was always under Klitschko in WBA rankings and therefore never was a champion.
No matter what happens with Pascal, Kovalev is marked. You can bet everyone he fights after is demanding testing. The bum just got exposed.
Exactly like Andre Ward. No one is fighting that dirty bastard after he refused Rodriguez test.
There are too many titles so why dont we solve it by adding another one. Only purpose of this article is to promote IBO as another major organization. Corrupt f-cking journalism.
WBA/C statements have a target audience of one, Canelo. This is their way to suck up to a ginger PPV star. Noone seriously believes in NSACs so called investigation. It all a sham to keep up the appearances.
Prove me wrong and ban Canelo. Him juicing is beyond any doubt.
Its plain stupid to say fighters will get hurt if so called pros are to participate. Most of advanced so called amateurs are as good as 99% of pro fighters.
Olympic boxing is not a juniors competition, nor it is a competition of bums. Get this into your thick heads.
They dont have sleepless nights when they rob fighters of their victories and livelihood. Gvozdyk was inexplicably behind on the judges scorecards. Nailing a home fighter to the canvas and putting him in hospital is the only way you can succeeds in this sport. Well done Gvozdyk! Not sorry for the corrupt officials.
WADA codes specifically says the burden of proof is on the athlete....The temporary limit is for those who failed their initial tests, not those who fail in between testing, or WADA will be forced to accept that theyre basically tolerating microdosing...and they wont.
Povetkin's case is not how much was in his system, his case is how did Meldonium show up after passing 3 tests.
No its not. If he doped after those tests then the concentration would be higher.
GGG must take a stance and do 2 things:
First he has to refrain from fighting in Las Vegas in the future. He was robbed twice there. Its an axiom that if you are a B side in Vegas you loose. Stick with California and New York.
Second he has to leave HBO. Its a dying boxing broadcaster anyway. I guess thats why Kellerman and Jones were sucking on Canelo dick so hard. He is their last big star that brings viewers. I am sure he can get a copromotional deal with Eddie like Usyk did and have his remaining carrier at DAZN.
Jacobs and Andrade will make more money on DAZN then on ESPN or PBC even if they dont fight Canelo in May. And later on there is still Canelo mega fight. A logic of article is completely flawed. Just look at how Charlo carrier is panning out with Haymon. What idiot would choose that?
this really is ****ing hilarious. in an era of the best not fighting the best, when a guy comes along who wants to fight the best & makes no bones about it, some have the nerve to start saying 'haha he desperate, he broke'. what an absolute joke some of you are. but i know EXACTLY the type who are calling kovalev these names. and you all know too. it's no mystery.
- F L O M O nation.
Breadman went into the differences in a couple of his mailbags. He said that fighters on both programs are tested during camp, and can be tested at random, year round, but that rarely happens
But with the WBC program, fighters can pay extra money, out of their own pockets, to guarantee that VADA will call them and test them, without notice, on a regular basis, so everybody knows they are clean.
The names he gave of fighters who do that were Golovkin, Wilder, Ward, and Donaire.
That is the thing. Whether they do random year round testing or not. This is what CBP must assure. If they can show he was clean few weeks prior I accept meat excuse otherwise he must be banned.
So what about Saunders vs GGG in June? Can he make it? I doubt it, been a lazy bum. Or will he vacate. In that case though why the **** GGG would want him.
Khurtsidze is one of the better opponents out there. Canelo and Jacobs both will keep ducking. So unless BJS steps in who else is there? Khurtsidze is a master pressure fighter who only now got a promotional break. Oviosly he will be an outsider against GGG, but he is likely to be a better challenge then Wade, Rubio and Monroes of the world.
Khurtsidze is Saunders' #1, let them fight instead if BJS runs from GGG a second time.
Thats right, I did not realize that. Hope WBO makes it mandatory. Unless of course BJS grows a pair and fights GGG.
So it was a mistake by the WADA? Well, it has been documented from the beginning that the amount of substance was to low to be ruled positive. Why did they say he was positive in the first place? Seems like Team Wilder are the ones who have to pay now, or fight Povetkin.
You confusing WADA with VADA. As far as I know WADA has said nothing about Povetkin.
IOC isnt running sports. They organize Olympic events and invite sports organizations to participate. They dont have jurisdiction to appoint or fire judges. That is entirely AIBAs job. If AIBA is unwilling to run a clean operation only pressure IOC can apply is to threaten expulsion.
IOC is even less concerned about the development of the boxing as a sport. Talking about mistake because it will cripple boxing is illogical nonsense. Its if a criminal saying putting me in the jail would be a mistake because it will ruin my life. Ridiculous.
Will it hurt Olympics. A little bit yes. In terms of popularity boxing is far from a leading sport at the Olympics. It will reduce viewership what for 1%? Not a tragedy.
