      You relax, and your reflexes sharpen, and your awareness increases, and your coordination is tuned to perfection. Chad Dawson should never be able to fight again after hearing this, no wonder he is undefeated.
      seriously hope ure sarcastic cuz the **** ure posting right now is some real bs.

      reflexes sharpen? how does that happen when one relaxes?
      awareness increases? no it doesnt, u become less coordinated, lazy and a little bit carefree.

      That sure was some good ****. I hallucinated as well......
      my friend went to visit his friends in sweden 2 years ago and said the hash scandinavian dealers sell is pretty crappy. now panda does live in holland but we started off with the cheap **** too and have never experienced numbness.

      back in high school we used to smoke and then spar a little bit, these sessions could get really brutal and never once has panda seen a guy take a punch that didnt hurt him

          So why would the win be discredited for that?

          Who cares if fighters are toking up, if anything it hurts their chances of winning and its not like it puts their opponent at a disadvantage so there to me seems to be nothing in that win that is tainted.

          that's the proper ruling. i love weed myself but as a professional athlete if you fail a drug test you fail a drug test.

          marijuana is used to treat anxiety & that gives a unnatural advantage to the fighter using.


          proper ruling.

            What's so funny? Tyson did too, for example.

            Weird that Floyd hasn't got involved though, since he's on a mission to clean up the sport.

                I think you would be a little too relaxed for your own good.

                  dude its just weed. weed will hamper your performance more than anything.



                  ppl say how it relaxes you more is utter BULL ****




                  cigarettes or long walks on the beach can relax you, smoking weed aint a fkn advantage. i could give a **** if another fighter smoked that ****, cigs kill more than fkn weed

                    if it doesnt do anything then why do athletes take tests that look for marijuana & other illegal substances?


                    there's a reason why.

                      bit harsh to change it to a nc. everyone likes to blaze every now and then. if anything it will affect his stamina and concentration, make him lazy and forget things. thats what sometimes happens to me anyway
