He must've been training with Canelo & the Reynoso's!

He's already fought four times since testing positive , what's one more ? At this late stage , why even punish him at all ?

Have also heard Morrell's camp isn't going great exactly, as his physical conditioning trainer, who works as well with Shakur Stevenson, had left him and is fully focused on helping Stevenson for his fight. People around Morrell's camp note that he doesn't feel fully focused in training for the fight either.

Lol...didn't know that. I remember reading an interview with a doctor who claimed to supply PEDs to a host of top athletes from boxers to ballers to soccer players. What shocked me most was that he said MOST top boxers (especially world champions) are using PEDs. At first I didn't take him seriously but the sheer number of fighter's testing positive lately has made me think otherwise.

Adverse findings ? Interpret that to mean we are not even going to call it dirty, just a little out of the ordinary. Boxing is a dirty sport ..... why pretend just do whatever makes the most money for the promo boys and the Platforms and do not even bother to tell and report findings anymore.

I remember when Mia St. John came clean and admitted to taking PEDS and she said she couldn't name them but MANY top boxers at the time were taking PEDS.

i also find it shocking that MOST top boxers are using PEDs. i would have assumed it was ALL top boxers.

Exactly. I know some guys have great genetics, and I could guess that combat sports would have a higher percentage of those guys than a sample of the general population. But a lot of these physiques, nand prob power and stamina, are more than hard training.

Why has no one involved in the organising of this event made a statement about Morrell no longer having an opponent for a fight that is in 3 days
