Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley On Oscar Valdez: I Hope He Gets Knocked Out

[tokon]

Pro boxers know what’s going on in the sport and know better than to buy these lame excuses from cheaters. It’s the groupie fan boys who are casuals who want to defend the excuses or minimize the effect of the substance.

Yes, most of the other fighters, coaches, managers and promoters will know what's going on but are all too scared of the consequences to speak out.

these tricky mesicans, they get caught but they dont get caught if u know what i mean, they are busted but not quite busted, they always wriggle free somehow, damn tricky mesicans, that cant be pinned down

i would laugh if he doesnt make weight tho.........

Ruiz fat ass need some of that cheating tea. Nery and clenelo popped and so will Cryan Garcia

Didn't J'Leon piss hot for the banned diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide after fighting Gabe Rosado when he was a TMT fighter? Didn't Mickey Bey have one of the highest Testosterone levels recorded in Nevada history when he was with TMT? I guess these things just get forgotten about or pushed aside over time even though Bey tested for straight TRT but you guys getting mad over a central nervous stimulant used in camp? This just in 90% of the fighters tested positive for Coca-Cola and coffee since it contains caffeine they must be banned for 6 months because caffeine is a central nervous stimulant and it can be used as a PED according to Victor Conte.

Well that's the pot calling the kettle Black..... Coming from someone who refused to participate in VADA through out his career ( and there were rumors about Bradley through his career) shouldn't be calling no one out. I agree a cheat is a cheat, I remember when Kendall Holt claimed that someone at a gym saw Bradley injecting his a** with something. Now, IDK if that's true, but Bradley not doing VADA is, so make what you will with that. No excuse for Valdez, but an appetite suppressant? That doesn't enhance any performance, if he was using it to cut weight, he's still going to be weak come fight time, this doesn't give you extra strength. When I think of performance enhancing drugs, I think of actual steroids, as muscle builder's, performance builders, you know, kinda of what Barry Bonds, Sosa, McGuire, Canseco and all the other's were using in baseball, Human Growth Hormone, that's steroids. Just because VADA bans it, doesn't mean it's performance enhancing, it just means they have a little list of rules they put forth.

U are missing the point my friend, this is a professional sport and much is on the line so if you can’t make weight the right way without cheating get the hell outta the division, period! Then there are those drugs that hide other drugs for performance enhancing so this is wrong on all levels and the sanctioning bodies should be ashamed and embarrassed by a champion so to speak doing this. Where is the fine, suspension or even a postponement until you get your act together. This is cheating no matter what!

Pretty much. Black athletes are the biggest PED abusers out there. Bet Bradley wouldn't say one word if a black boxer was busted for PEDs.

Get the *** outta here ass wipe!

Bradley is just a pillow fisted hater

He rich and famous in boxing so why would he be hating on a cheat? This is wrong as your weak ass opinion, and I know you just a fan because a combatant would never say this dumb sh_t you saying, period!

Personally, I don't think it's a big deal either. I'm pretty level headed about most scenarios. As far as not getting animated and speaking with emotions.

I understand it's a sport with weight classes being important. And I'm all for testing. I'm all for clean everything in the sport. But I really don't see a weight loss supplement as a "drug". Even tho I understand the definition of a drug. This is me, stepping outside of what's known about rules and guidelines, and just saying I personally disagree with the legalities of it.

A couple more things to add.... for every banned drug on the list, there's probably 5 other drugs that do the same thing that are not on the banned list. And fighters probably take them. Also, the scenario around testing needs to be revamped. There shouldn't be a "in session" and "out of session" list. That creates ****** timing complications. Also boxing needs to clarify VADA, WADA, YAYAYAYA (kidding) and which it goes by and which it doesn't. And all fighters need to be handled under that one choice. There's too many loose ends that creates situations like this one.

Final verdict, the kid tried to lose weight. I don't give a ****. They're all using SOMETHING to do so. This isn't the worst thing I've ever seen

That's going against the Bob-father. NO-ONE goes against BOB. Tim is about to get fired.

Tim isn't beholden to Top Rank. Besides, he basically trashed Crawford's resume in a debate with Ward and was buddy-buddy with Broner. Plus he was the one that told Porter to go after Crawford.

Bradley is on the fence now.

However, It still could be used as a potential stimulant though. Also, Bradley did attempt to enroll in VADA for the Marquez fight; When JMM was working with Memo Heredia. However, Marquez refused any type of random or VADA testing for PED use.

And all over ignorant, insecure, petty tribalism

He shouldve requested a TUE and called it a day.
