    it's illegal anywhere else except nevada. main reason why texas was nixed by gbp despite the extra $1m to each of the two fighters.

      Never heard Joe Calzaghe using those solutions.

      And he couldn't punch at all with his paper hands toward the end.

        Can you show me that they're illegal in boxing? In the NFL, NBA, MLB and College sports pain killer injections are common and legal. Here's an article showing you this is a common, though seldom discussed, practice.

        South Carolina administered 169 Toradol injections to players on game days over the 13 games of the 2008 season, according to records obtained by The (Charleston) Post and Courier.

        Using the trade name of the drug for the 2007 season, USC players received 133 Ketorolac injections over 11 games (the school did not provide information for the game against Kentucky).

        Clemson gave 92 Toradol injections and seven Marcaine injections on game days during its 13-game 2008 season and 30 Toradol injections and 24 Marcaine injections over its 13 games of the 2007 season.

        Players' names are not listed in the documents because federal privacy law protects the identity of individual painkiller users.

        Players at the Football Championship Subdivision level get painkiller injections, too. The Citadel administered 16 Toradol shots over its 12 games of the 2008 season.

        Tim Tebow, Florida's All-American quarterback, revealed last month that he hurt his throwing shoulder in the 2008 opener against Hawaii and took painkiller shots before every other game during the Gators' national championship season.

          Boxing isn't football, soccer, or baskeball. You can call for time outs and use all kinds of substances not allowed in boxing. The face that you can not numb your hands in almost every other state shows you whats up.

            But I don't know that you can't use painkiller injections in boxing. You're telling me that, but I'd like an article. Here's a link to one about the widespread use in other sports, in this case CFB:

                what a cheat. first he cheats and comes in overweight to gain an advantage now this comes out. what a fraud. his entire career should be a NC. why is a known cheater making demands based on rumors he started?

                    the thing is it's considered illegal in almost all commissions in boxing except for nevada, which is why richard schaeffer didn't even bother attending the texas meeting.

                    floyd would like to use nevada's regulations then adds his own drug testing program

                    and wouldn't that **** be called performance enhancing?
