    Until then, the Garcia fight should get cancelled and Morales should get dropped from The Ring top 10 the same as Berto and Peterson. Both of their respective fights were cancelled and they were dropped from The Ring top 10, a rule The Ring made just in time to punish them. Let's see if Morales gets treated the same.
    although I wanted to see Erik fight, this is agreeable and the rules must be followed ...

      I guess it all depends on the circumstances. Is whatever Morales took a PED or a banned substance? Is it possible it was from a food contamination? Is it so minimal to the point where it would have no affect on his boxing ability? If sample B comes out negative, I think the fight should go on as long as the Garcia camp is fine with it.

      Berto went on unpunished for his PED use, and Peterson is still unlicensed I believe. I think the fight should go on.

        It should be greater punishment because there needs to be a precedent set to discourage this type of behavior and for it not to be rewarded.

        Berto and Peterson weren't even officially suspended. Berto is getting a seven figure against Guerrero. Peterson was lined up for a nice payday against Bradley.

        This is a sport where you can be fined 2500 out of a Million dollar purse for testing positive for PEDs, but 20,000 for smoking weed.

        The penalty for Morales needs to be steep. Similar to the actions taken in England.

          I thought the test B results were getting released tomorrow? I thought I read that somewhere earlier. I very well could be mistaken though.

          If there is no second result coming before the fight, then i think be has every right to look after his own self interests, health wise, to back out. Payday be dammed.

            I heard that too, but I also hear it'll be revealed after the fight, don't know which one is true, again I'm still scratching my head here,

            Here is the link, http://www.boxingscene.com/angel-gar...les-ass--58337

            Agree with the bold.

                Peterson and Berto's fights where also stopped. So equal treatment.
                It was the fighters that did'nt want to go through with it. Garcia is'nt a punk like Khan.

                  Does nobody read at all? You just read the headline and make your dumb comment.

                    Do you not understand anything at all? Did you read the article? Obviously not. He's not on any enhancements you fools! Non of you realise how sctrict these tests actually are. You can't take as much as a Tylenol without coming up positive for something they consider illegal. All these posters on here opening their mouths that don't understand anything. Too many fools being able to voice their opinion.
