Comments Thread For: Conor Benn vs. Chris Eubank Jr. Officially Off, Lawyers Fail To Save Event

If the fighter had the PEDs in his system close to the fight that would be very different though.

you are wrong here friend. You don’t take PEDs the night before the fight and wake up Superman. You take them in the weeks and months preceding the fight to get the benefits.

people get permanently injured and die in this sport every year. If that happened to Eubank I don’t think UKAD could tell the judge “well he said he wanted to fight anyway” and get away with it.

I wonder where Eddie Hearn is storing these B samples? Cash in

"Lead promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, had his legal team attempt to challenge the decision of the BBBoC, but that attempt has failed."

Damn Eddie! Been a very rough couple of weeks hasn't it? Can't blame Al and Bob for this one!

Give it a couple of days and one of the matchroom shills will try

Good news, fair call

[The Devil Knows Boxing]

Benn says he’s a completely clean fighter with a straight face & defiance.. stating the fight is going ahead because he said so LOL

He was clearly coached by Peddie HGHearn the black flesh peddler

Hearn should have just gone for US testing, doubling or more the level of testing others is doing was always going to get fighters found out, sign up for WBC cleaning boxing that often does no tests at all.
Benn should have done a Charlo or Parker and jumped out the window when the testers come and the commission will let you off.

Anyway Benn looks very bad for and if he is found dirty desreves a long ban, ironic it was extra testing paid for by him that caught him.

VADA caught Benn.

VADA is based in the US.

Well nobody asked for this fight really anyways ...its all good

Mr Hearn's vulgar card castles are visibly collapsing

This fight was a garbage from the start. A middleweight fighting juiced welterweight at catchweight. I am actually glad this s.hit won`t happen.

I also didn`t like that ****sexual Eubank`s Gucci look.

Daily Mail broke the story, and BBBOC came out and said they wouldn't sanction is soon after. But if the Mail didn't break the story, would everybody have stayed quiet and the fight goes ahead? Feels like it.

Basically

They have known about it for “weeks”, even Eddie Hearn said so. So it looked like they were trying to keep it quiet, Which makes them look even worse.

Now we know why Eubank senior has been telling everybody to boycott the fight but probably couldn’t come out and say it outright for legal reasons. It all starts to makes perfect sense when you put it together, When he was talking about how his son died and didn’t want anything to happen to his other son etc. and why he was refusing to communicate with the team after they have known for weeks but still carrying on.

Say what you want of Eubank senior in terms of flamboyancy and character, he always comes across as very respectful of the sport and his behaviour over the past few weeks regarding this fight now makes complete sense.

Let’s be honest, the only reason the fight is off and the boxing board of control eventually refused to sanction it was because there’s been so much media backlash from journalists, ex-fighters. they have known about it at least a month and never thought of calling it off until it was exposed to the public and had a negative reaction

No you have to ask how many fights in the UK have gone ahead where failed tests have been hidden. Vada doesn’t notify the public or the media, they just send the results back to the fighters teams or the sanctioning bodies such as the WBC who then publicise it. but they don’t actually work directly with the Britishboxing board of control, so there was really nobody to make it public.

So essentially any fighter fighting in the UK can fail a VADA test and get away with it, if it doesn’t get exposed somehow. The only way they probably wouldn’t get away with it as if they were part of the WBC for the fight.
