Comments Thread For: Oscar Valdez vs. Robson Conceicao Officially Sanctioned By The WBC

[Monty Fisto]

What a Bunch of Crap. The WBC pay themselves the fine? and turn Valdez into a flunky. At this point, not only did Valdez get caught, but he's going to be a purina eating lap dog.

Yes, the WBC are outrageous here. The response should either be: he tested positive and we are committed to clean boxing so we cannot sanction the fight or we are committed to clean boxing and he tested positive, but we think there are mitigating factors that lead us to believe he is still a clean fighter, therefore no action.

What we have is an acknowledgement that he has transgressed the rules and then a series of lightweight punishments that mainly benefit the WBC. Which looks corrupt.

I wanted to watch this fight but I won’t. I choose not to support this farce, this shambles

Let Big baby miller and Jean Pascal fight get rid of drug testing just let these guys do whatever they want.

Whoever penned "WBC = We Be Crooks", is on it. This decision is nauseating and par for the course. The corruption is so overt; just eliminate the PED ban altogether and don't feed us this Clean Boxing Program facade.

I disagree on the lightweight punishments. Be a representative for the WBC? Fetch and beg, roll over? Be a pet? All he has to do is swallow his pride.

So you don’t think that a boxer taking a substance that helps him to cut weight for a fight is beneficial? Guess that you’re not aware that making weight is the toughest part of a training camp for most fighters. Getting an advantage in doing so makes a big difference.

How does that create an adavantage for him over his opponent on fight night though? That’s my question. I’m against anything that would help a guy be faster, stronger or more punch resilient. This is a appetite suppressant that he got popped for

Again I ask, how effective is it though? Do we know? How much does he have to take to have an effect? How much was found in his sample?

Its the right call. Should be a great fight.

How so?

Why is it banned then?

[TheBoxGod]

I psoke about this plenty in other threads.

[steeve steel]

Spin doctors cured him just in time!

I honestly thought it was common knowledge among boxing fans. Basically, most fighters have to drain themselves down to a weight that is often times 15-20 plus pounds below their walk around weight. So all throughout training camp they’re watching their diets, training in sauna suits, doing different forms of cardio to drop weight, they often starve themselves especially the days leading into a fight, and that will often impact their stamina and durability during a fight. That’s why many of them look drawn at a weigh in and then gain so much weight the next day. If you take a substance that helps so that you don’t have to experience that to the same extent as your opponent, you can focus more on specific boxing training and not weight cutting as much, it will improve your stamina , durability and overall performance. So yes, it gives you an unfair advantage despite not being a drug that aims to make you faster or stronger.
