People clowned Haney for threatening to sue Ryan Garcia, but someone needs to pay for these PEDs! This case with Yafai is HORRIBLE! A few people should half to cough up some dough ASAP!!!

Galal Yafai should get himself a good “barrister” and sue everybody involved.

that case is linked to the WBC and their clown show what a surprise, they go on and on about fighter safety and all sorts of things but its all a smoke screen they really dont give a crap and it shows by their actions, someone needs to put a stop to them once and for all, they should not be above the law, there are no consequences whatsoever for this type of stuff in the sport

Apparently the info about Rodriguez fighting his prior fight on peds could easily have been determined - on Boxrec it says the fight was a N/C and Rodriguez was suspended.

So.......................

Why didn't someone on Yafai's team see this?
Why didn't Matchroom see this? - Eddie says he saw afterwards and pinged a message to the Texas commission and they answered he was suspended for PEDS
How come no journo spotted this?
How come the British Boxing Board of Control didn't contact the Texas commission?
How come the Texas commission didn't notify the ABC (perhaps they did)
If the Texas comm notified the ABC how come the ABC didn't notify all other commissions?
How come the WBC didn't take action ? ( nix that - WE BE CORRUPT)

I'm not sure who team Yafai could sue apart from Rodriguez personally - and would that be for financial damages? How much is he worth? His net assets are probably not that much. I'd sue the BBoC and Matchroom - they are in juridiction area of a British court. And I'm still not sure he'd win as likely it'd be argued that Team Yafai are partly responsible for due diligence of opponent

Josh Taylor was always overrated. So was Prograis. It kills me how some pundits always force-feed Josh Taylor as some elite guy at 140. He was at 140 nearly his whole career. He never moved up to 147 because Bud, Porter and Thurman were there, and they all would have demolished him, especially Bud and Keith.

Some pundits just have to hype at least one white fighter in a beta so as to appear unbiased. It's so cringe and so forced.

Taylor was a very good fighter, never great. In my opinion, he got a gift against a faded Viktor Pistol. That says it all.

The WBC stated: “After a thorough factual and scientific review of the adverse finding, and considering champion Rodriguez’s admission of the circumstances of his non-intentional ingestion of a banned substance, and the fact that Mr Rodriguez had reported in his WBC CBP registration document the use of an over-the-counter energy booster which label included two banned substanced [sic], the WBC and champion Rodriguez agreed to enter into an adjudication agreement.”

So this guy submitted an energy drink that lists on a label that it contains 2 banned substances and the WBC say OK thanks, thats fine carry on LMAOOOOOO no wonder the sports a mess with ped use, they allowed bumgardner to get away with steroids scott free keep your belts NO CONSEQUENCES whatsoever and they said to Eggie Benn OK we believe u it was eggs, he then say HUH i never said eggs LOL they are a total clown show without remorse or brains or anything

Interesting mailbag. So, I don't get how a big deal is made when smaller fighters do well against a bigger fighter until the bigger guy eventually knocks them out. This happened to Kell Brook when he had a couple moments of success against GGG, until getting battered and stopped, and also Amir Khan outboxing Canelo until getting KTFO. I agree with Bread on most of his assessments, but not on this one. I haven't seen anything from Benavidez, and certainly not Opetaia to think that either one of them could beat Usyk, but clearly Bread has forgotten more about boxing than I'll ever know, so whatever, haha

The literal biggest star in the sport in Canelo got caught multiple times and got away with a slap on the wrist essentially.

If that doesn't set a precedent than I don't know what will.
