Diaz' manager files protest

[Texanballer]

I think an automatic rematch is a good idea. A no-contest? The Diaz camp has a solid argument for a rematch based on the lack of a drug test, but a no-contest should only be awarded when a positive drug test does come up.

I agree with you

I still don't believe Diaz himself posted that email though.

All Campbell has to do to dispell these rumors is take a test anyway.

you cant blame anything on Diaz. Everything on here is from his manager. He still has not said Campbell was performance enhancing drugs nor did he say he wanted to protest. It was all from his manager. If you want to bash someone, you should bash the manager not the fighter.

His manager works for me not the other way round, He must have known that his manager was going to take it that far, if they wanted a test then fair enough but to out with ridiculous statement like Campbell being 36???WTF

Okay hope this kills all the thread about Juan diaz not Actually accusing that Campbell was on Steriods, People were trying to defend Diaz even though it WAS plain that he WAS accusing Campbell of cheating...Now I HOPE you believe it now.

where does it mention steriods?

Exactly.

When Diaz so that there were no pre-drug testing he should have demanded there be one or not fight. Otherwise had he won you wouldnt hear him not his team complaining.

How??? They didnt test Both fighters..Its not like they test Juan diaz and didnt do the same with campbell....Team Diaz KNEW there was NO drug testing procedure before they sign the fight...

I agree with you

When the story came out that there were no drug tests conducted, it was apparent that procedure had been breached which doesn't always mean someone was necessarily on the clear. Trying to change the outcome of a fight based on something without damning evidence is ludicrous, otherwise the sport itself lacks any credibility.

To mention the cut over and over and other issues is to try to change the outcome out of the ring instead of inside it.

Willie Savannah may be trying to drum up as much noise as possible to pressure the governing bodies into an immediate rematch. If that is the way they go, then kudos to Diaz's camp. If they let sour g****s prevail, then that will ultimately detract from them.

what a load of crap, both sides didn't have the drug test, and this is just a way to weasel out of a ass whoopin loss.

so what if campbell is 36 and he fought like he was the younger fighter, WHAT THAT CAN'T HAPPEN IN LIFE???!?!?!?! give me a ****ing break, there are plenty of people and fighters out there who perform better as they get older, campbell didn't even become pro until he was 27 or something like that, maybe even older, so what is the deal, the guy is a gym rat and is always around his fighting weight.

diaz got beat at his own game and now they're going to try and claim since the older fighter fought like the fresher fighter he was using drugs?? they're going to basically say that it is impossible for someone to be older and to beat a younger fighter????? WTF........ these guys are delusional.

and diaz's people are saying that they took an independent drug test before the fight and after, who cares, how can anyone believe that those results are fair and on the up and up. those could've been forged, those test could've been tampered since they weren't done by the sanctioning bodies. independent or private tests mean **** unless under the watchful eye of the governing bodies.

plus, from what i have read, no one on that fight card got drug tested, in all the fights, until that has been proven or dis proven, they can't say ****.

like i was telling my friends, diaz's people could be calling steroids because diaz was on steroids and they didn't work or pay off for him, so now they're trying to say that they took their own private tests and so they're all cleared, bull****, i think they're the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK to be honest.

i really think that if diaz was in a true mexican warrior spirit he would be screaming rematch instead of over turning or over ruling the fight.

fight campbell again, quit bitching, and stopping ruining your character, diaz.

i'm sure that don king has made things tough, but seriously he couldn't get away with fixing just one fight not having a drug test while every other fighter on the fight card had to take one, bull****, and if he did pull some bull**** it wouldn't be the fighters fault, you couldn't blame campbell or diaz or anyone for not taking a drug test, the people in charge have to administer it, and that doesn't prove that anyone took anything in the first place just because a test wasn't taken.

another thing, about campbell, the way he responded is the response that you would hear from someone who was innocent or didn't do what he is being accused of, just by the fact that he said , i'll take a drug test right now, and i will fight that kid again immediately.....................

that sounds like someone with something to prove, diaz doesn't even want to fight again, he want it over turned by ALL sanctioning bodies, bogus.

where does it mention steriods?
