Do you think Chris Algieri should have sued Conor Benn...

[paulf]

No evidence he cheated against Benn. Just like Margarito vs Cotto.

Everything was already stacked in Baumgardner's favor in her fight with Linardatou. This was her homecoming fight in Detroit and it was filled with Detroit judges lol. The fight was actually close because Baumgardner gasses badly and needs to take rounds off. Even with all the PEDs in her system, Bumgardner still couldn't KO the recent mother Linardatou

Question is why was the fight not canceled?

[brettWall]

shes been cleared since early january and been available to fight anytime she wants, from busted to cleared, 6 months

Six months is not even a penalty. That's like regular vacation for most boxers in this sport. Many of them fight once a year.

If he could prove he was on PEDs, sure but he can't. Lindaratou can prove Baumgardner was so she should sue. I don't see the issue with holding cheaters accountable or them being sued for damages.

They should sue the commission or whoever makes the final approval for these fights.

Any comment on why these fights are allowed to happen in the first place? Testing procedures are supposed to protect boxers. What is the point of announcing the positive tests when the fight is already over? I'm wondering why there are virtually zero discussions about this.

How can they sue a commission if the results haven't come back till after the fight?

What a come back. So? What's the difference? They can still sue after the fight.

And I see that you have no problem seeing positive tests only announced when the fight is already over. I thought testing is all about protecting the boxers.

Because canceling a fight, especially a huge one, a day or two before fight night is a huge disappointment not only for investors but also for fans. Fans only care when their fighter loses. That's when crying begins. I couldn't even remember how many number of times where positive results were announced a week or weeks after the fight is already done. Mostly slapped on insignificant fighters.

If a test is performed days before a fight how could they get the results in time to know they'd have banned substances in their system?
