Did anyone fail a drug test for this fight ?
''Probably'' isn't an answer

Hey, I'm all in for a real and genuine redemption story.
I think most people are.
But you gotta allow for a healthy amount of skepticism for a guy who is a repeat repeat offender at or near the highest level of the game (visibility-wise, at least) who doesn't project the image of contrition and humility that would help his case.
Just sayin'....

I agree. PED cheats stain the integrity of the sport. I wish there was a lifetime ban for all roiders, dopers and PED cheats.

It doesn’t matter if he has shown remorse or contrition or not. The fact is he was caught, condemned, punished and banned from the sport. So he has paid his debt to boxing with his livelihood.

If he would have gotten away with it then he should be contrite. However, what the California State Athletic commission is doing with this decision is just plain wrong and corrupt.

You can criticise his past ped use, but if he's clean now, let's move forward.

Yes, it was major, major ped use, but you also can't excuse these bad decisions in boxing.

They're both finished at least for top end. Today we have Fury-Usyk and AJ-dubois but Bakole is the new incoming.

I'd like to see Bakole - kabayel and then the winner challenge for a world title.

Yup, Miller-Walrus did back up Ruiz-Walrus for most of the fight after round 2.

‘Sometimes you get robbed,’ reflects Jarrell Miller

Hey pal, if your opponent doesn't injure himself somehow in the fight and be at a disadvantage, let that be a lesson to you.

You should have used peds, again, and again, and again.

It's more than one way to skin a cat, or win a fight.

However, that still doesn’t make it right. He has paid for his past transgressions.

I just hope you guys reserve that same type of energy for Ryan Garcia once he returns back from his expulsion after popping dirty five times for PEDS.

Once with the New York State Athletic Commission and four times with VADA. You damned hypocrites!

Totally, Ryan Garcia failed to make weight and got popped for ostarine.
It makes me wonder to be honest, did he intend to make weight? Ostarine makes your bones become much denser, it may be that he tried to cut fat and water weight, only to realize his bones were now too heavy to make weight. Just a question. But yes, I don’t like the reaction people had to Haney’s loss to a cheat. These drugs make you more durable and heavy handed. It may have been a different story if Garcia was clean and made weight.

Yes, it was major, major ped use, but you also can't excuse these bad decisions in boxing.

Look, he has been popped 3 times for PEDs.
He hasn’t learned his lesson the other times.
and the reality is there are professionals who are paid to help you beat the tests. The fact that he is able to have such stamina, much like earlier in his career when he was on EPO, makes me very su****ious that he is still cheating. You cannot perform the same off drugs as you can when you are on them.
So I think there’s a good chance that he is still cheating. Sometimes you pass the tests, you time the cycle right, you take something that can’t be tested for yet, you manage your per use to you are just within legal limits. But the man is a career cheat and 3 strikes in his career should be career over.

i know promoters and boxing governing bodies are complicit in ped use sometimes. But that doesn’t mean it is acceptable.

Hopefully this draw and dreadful performance by both fat men will allow them to disappear from any meaningful HW contests that will be televised in the future.

Tired of all the excuses both of these dudes toss out for dreadful performances. When was the last time Miller beat a relevant opponent? When was the last time he looked good in the ring? Bogdan Dinu? Tomas Adamek? That was 6 years ago and he was juiced.

Same with Ruiz. Other than the KDs against a completely shot fighter, he looked bad against Ortiz. You think he looked good against Arreola? Nope. Ruiz has that AJ win and not much else (unless you think he looked good in that tepid affair with Joseph Parker so many years ago)....
