MFers who stick out their tongues better not be the one's sitting on their asses listening to someone count to them.

I just hope these Jake Paul fights are done now, he ran around the ring tried to make it 8 rds no real offense while AJ had to track him down so I won't knock him for taking a little to stop him since its hard to do with someone just trying to make it the distance.Comment

I’m legitimately curious. What background are you referring to?
I don’t dislike Mannix or Algieri honestly. If they annoy me, I just don’t tune in or listen to the clip/podcast. I’ve seen what having an agenda looks like, and they don’t seem to be those type of people.
Faitelson (TV azteca?) on the other hand has always had a crusade against Canelo and always downplays whatever he does.Comment

By background, I mean how long they've been involved in the sport, with Mannix having been on NBC, writing for Sports Illustrated, etc. He's been covering the sport since the beginning of the 21st century, so I would expect better takes. His scorecards are horrendous too. On DAZN, I've lost the number of times Sergio Mora has had to correct him. Chris Algieri is annoying, but I don't dislike him. His takes are often pro-American or agenda based. As an example, just off the top of my head, he had been going hard on Ryan Garcia for testing positive for PEDs in the Haney fight, but he avoids the nuance. And this is even more alarming considering he has a background in this area, with a masters degree in clinical nutrition.
Say what you want about Ryan, but based on all the evidence, it's evident that he took contaminated supplements during his failed weight cutting period. He tested negative for months leading up to the fight, and then his last test came up dirty for osterine. Osterine, often used during the weight cutting process, is a notorious SARM found in supplements, especially these new ones being sponsored by influencers and whatnot. USADA even issued a warning about supplements being contaminated with it four years ago. I even know someone who tested positive for it after going to the gym and being introduced to some supplements by one of the gym members. He doesn't even compete in professional sports but had to be drug tested, and he came back positive for it. He knows it came from that guy's supplements because it was the first time he'd ever taken supplements. Regardless, the fact that it was Garcia's very last drug test that came back positive and not the previous other tests. along with the significant history of osterine in contaminated supplements, is enough circumstantial evidence to show it was a contamination issue. The test the day of the fight is when he came back positive (and the day before as there were two tests). That means that he received little if any benefit from the SARM. Half life is 24 hours.
That's a long winded way of saying that I would expect more from Algieri. And like I said, he has a tendency to be hyper critical of non-American fighters (minus Garcia lol) and very biased toward American fighters. Some of his comments about Usyk and others support this.Last edited by Cypocryphy; Today, 06:30 PM.Comment
