Something shady is happening in boxing

[Gandhi]

Can someone explain why a lot of boxers have been looking concussed before getting into the ring of late?

It happened yesterday with Povetkin again. He looked like he was already knocked out in the changing room before he got to the ring & he was almost falling over with the slightest glance from the 1st rd.

Something fishy is going on.

What other examples were you thinking of?

If there was something seriously wrong with Povetkin they need to come and say something as quickly as possible, infact last night and that includes if Hearn had bullied them into taking the rematch too soon after Covid. Although it was Whyte and Matchroom that needed this rematch as it was the Brit who needed the win to reestablish WBC ranking.

If there was something seriously wrong let's hope they don't wait months and then give about 49 different crazy excuses, all with evidence that they refuse to provide or use in any legal context, cuz that would just be ******.

I say it is the rotten corrupt great sh itain. same thing happened with Ruiz after he destroyed joshua. Povetkin destroyed dillian "aint" whyte then in the rematch maybe after getting paid off Ruiz and Povetkin dont bother to train and they get beat. why Ruiz and Povetkin agreed to take the rematch in england is beyond me. being they won they were in the drivers s

Povetkin for sure didn't look right. I just put it down to Covid, though.

A certain excuse-filled twerker.

Moron. Let's not pretend dodgy **** doesn't happen in the US either for that matter...

The Joshua rematch was in Saudi Arabia.
The Povetkin rematch was in Gibraltar.

Also they both agreed to a rematch before the first fight so no they weren't in the drivers seat.

Its funny because the other example I was thinking of of what OP is described is Joshua in the first Ruiz fight. Where he look weirdly out of it right off the bat and was asking his corner "why am i feeling like this?"

Gibraltar is still owned by the UK...so, yeah, not England, but not exactly neutral territory either.
