I think if broner was cool, and popular and original we all would have been bummed for him. Instead he's always been a wanna be. A copy cat. How can you copy someone style late in your career? Makes no sense. Dude forgot that people came to see boxing not a clown. Madaina gave us boxing and fight, broner. He could still get us back if he were to come back as a person not a persona. This year has been so good to us at the end. so good.
No doubt GGG is overated as a boxer. Still one of my favorites but those who tried to say Money may should fight him, total joke. I think Canelo would finish this dude off. Defence is part of this sport too. This guy has none. Still love to watch him fight. He's getting hurt in there.
golovkin will lose. Stevens can win if he would box a little more. But GGG no looking world class. He looks very B level today. Prod is better than Golovkin.
I don't want to get ahead of myself but if this keeps going Bradley got an easy paycheck. I from Palm Springs and followed Bradley from a while back. So I'm bias but I've always loved watching Marquez. To me one of the best ever. But Bradley is mayweathering Marquez.
Awesome fight. Bradley can jab this fight to death and wins. I'm not so sure why he wants to engage so much? He's so much faster. One knockdown and the fight would be even. I have Bradley up. Great foot work.
IM a huge cotto fan but his wars are starting to show. I'm really liking that Trout tho. Really classy dude. Hope to see him take on Canelo. Who I still think is a little green. Cotto I think was way too small for Trout or this division. He looked very very small in there.
The cards should have been a bit closer. but I would give it to Trout no problem I do think the spread was wide.

Keep in mind, OST requires every active athlete in the sport to test randomly, while training for a fight or not. Not just leading up to the fight. This means if you are license and in waiting for say a fight to line up, you would still be randomly tested. Also the test would be banked and if there were any major inconsistencies that could help determine whether something happened or not. Like lets say your Hematocrit jumped or ****ed all the sudden from the norm or all the sudden you had a different MCV size then it would be obvious you did some kind of doping. Regarding MCV would be blood doping. There of course a tremendous amount of masking agents that are on the WADA list as well. Most doping is not done for muscle mass. usually its for a different edge as muscle mass in sport generally does not give an advantage. Recovery is the biggest problem in sport. Being able to go 12 rounds with out tiring for example. OST is done for ALL active athletes in the given sport. That means you could be training just to stay fit in the Himalayas and someone could come knocking for urine and blood (any hour of the day). The test generally are quick to perform. Its all the other bull**** (litigation) that takes so long. Chain of custody etc.. in alot of cases you must also have a registry notifying the agency if you will be going out of town, to where and how long.
This is not the case for all testing in sports but the ones that are doing the most to prevent doping are going about it this way. I side with Floyd in that I think many are doing it. I don't think pac man is doin it any more but I believe he has. Certain characteristics are very common with certain drugs and if it quacks like a duck, then its probably a duck. In sports we want to believe they greats don't cheat but the second you believe them you are let down by the truth. Look at BALCO. These guys are on the razors edge of athletes, tuned to a leevl we could never imagine for a very small window. Every little advantage they will take. Especially when the rewards are so large. Look at marquez drinking his own piss thinking it was an advantage. I'm sure some would eat their own **** too if they thought it would help.
Truth is I would love for haye to beat everyone, only because he is fun. To listen to. I wish his skills matched his mouth because the division could use a breath of fresh air. Not hot air. What is exactly what David haye is. I give him props for coming back after that beating he took from vlad. Hopefully this fight is fun to watch. I don't expect a masterpiece as Lenox was the last masterclassman of the division.
Please be mindfull that vada and wada are to different things. Wada Is world wide vada I don't believe is. That is wada would be the better choice as there are many fighters from all over the world. Don't confuse the two. And yes test ALL active athletes that fight under WBA, WBO etc would make the most sense. They would need to set it up with a fighters association of sorts. This would make the most sense as OT could set something up for fighter that end up with head injuries and such. Even protect those families who lose a love one in the ring. But I guess that's an arguement for another day.

if cotto can maintain some fitness then this will be one fo the most destructive performances by cotto yet. I believe they need to stop the fight margs eye is really bad.
Cotto looked fresh actually. his face is beaten but his body looked ready to go. Redemption easy. No need for a third as it would be stealing from people. . Cotto was amazing and should retire. Legacy will live on. amazing performance. amazing performance. Margarito loss I believe 19 of thier 2x's rounds fought.
Boxing and no other sport deserves cheats. It takes everything away from sport, everything.
The real experts condemned margs fro cheating. They had the evidence and suspended him. The online fans that have Zero proof, zero evidence will always defend him. But in my opinion I loved to see justice served like this.
cotto needs to slow down and box now. he has 4-0 easy and margs should be easy to slip from. cotto looks good. its a good fight. but margs is a tall statue at this point.
let hope the next 8 are as fun
cotto is running but still connecting on the go.Cotto really needed that breather and so far I believe it's given him a second wind. Cotto, other than running is doing it perfect. Oh and he needs to learn to clinch.
cotto needs to stay off the ropes. and clinch. He will get broken down and let margs in the fight if he keeps this up.. Its going as expected except Cotto might survive the onslaught.
beautiful round for cotto. Margs boxed better but his boxing is weak comepared to cottos class. if margs wants to win he has to bully cotto. He will NEVER out box cotto. NEver. MArg fans are trolling if they think margs has done anything yet. Margs is a punching bag so far. I think one body shot was good... maybe.
