Will Dawson request testing for Hopkins bout?

[sdcluser]

You are using an excuse, I think athletes should be held to the same standard. The highest possible one in terms of drug testing, but I care way more about drugs designed to improve performance than those of recreation.

If a guy has a problem with drug of recreation they should get that issue taken care of though because it will harm them as a fighter.

And what standard is that? Oh, so Pot is ok since it's from a tree and is NOT designed to improve performance than recreation? This is OST (OLYMPIC STYLE TESTING) you are referring right? You obvious have a VERY DIFFERENT standard which all athletes should abide. It's YOUR standard not an OST standard.

Is HBO dying to show B-Hop against Erdei, or against Tavoris Cloud or against Shuemenov.

That is a fucking murders row of high quality options right there~

Maybe Showtime or Epix would be interested in those fight though for the right (small) price

[sdcluser]

Dawson looked fine to me~

I didn't say that~ where did I say there are many options.

I asked you the question why are you so reluctant to give an answer because you know there are no other options HBO would pick up at 175 over Hopkins-Dawson. You are not getting how HBO operates, HBO will force what they want to happen if they don't get it they will not really play ball unless there is a real option that they also like, name them if it is so simple~

Yes HBO will force an increasing diminuitive Dawson to fight without any demand. HBO will probably FAVOR certain fighters with PROVEN NAME recognition coming from a historical victory that changed boxing history.

Pot doesn't make a fighter do more than what they are capable of. I only said tree because that is a euphemism for pot nit-wit, not it is OK because it comes from a plant~

I am sorry that you don't see the difference.


If a guy breaks the rules they should pay the price, I just don't care that much about a dude getting busted for any drug of recreation although if they are an addict they should get help as that will not allow them to be all they can be as a prizefighter.

One is a matter of cheating the other is a matter of discipline~

HBO put on fights with HBO guys, like it or not Dawson is an HBO guy and that is what they will want.

HBO will favor the fight they want nothing more.

If they can't get it they will not want to play ball unless there is a reasonable alternative.

Isn't this the same mighty HBO that paid like a $1 mil for Berto to fight a nobody (I am not referring to Ortiz)??!! LOL

Again applying your own standard. You obvious don't care about the OST (GOLD) standard.

Berto is an HBO and they wanted to show him, that is a slightly different situation because there was no clear fight they could make for him that was built and ready. They paid to keep him around in hopes of their investment paying off.

He was a guy they were trying to build, much like Dawson.

This fight is their pay off for Dawson, if he can win maybe they have something they can work with if he loses so long until he can get used against a guy as a b-side~

[The Gambler1981]

No I don't care that much about being guilty of something I don't find that meaningful.

They test for that and the guys know it so if they get caught up, it is their fault for not having the proper discipline.

The other is cheating the game, which I do care about a great deal more.
