    Brook is gonna wrecked.

    I wonder what the main event will be. Hopefully Thurman vs Maidana or Thurman vs Matthysse if he moves up to 147.

      Please be in Barclay's so I can see Porter put Brook right to sleep.

        i'd be on the f#cking big boy gas if i were a pro athlete. the tests are a joke, and you get f#cking paid if you're good.
        Good observation about the red blood cell count, you're in the know lol.

        And I'm not sure, it's not like PEDs come without risk, they increase your risk of heart attack, stroke etc etc... so I'm not sure that every fighter will just willingly hop on the juice knowing the health risks.

        And to be fair, tests have made some strides, USADA now uses the carbon isotope ratio which detects any amount of synthetic androgens in your blood stream, irrespective of the dosage, but of course many athletes could juice off season and retain many of the benefits when they start camp.

            getting beat up in your fights is worse for you than cycling on some gear to win them. trust.

              Once someone mentioned he hung out in the Mayweather gym a light bulb lit up, instantly.

                I hate seeing fights get venues where neither fighter has a fanbase. This translates into poor ticket sales. But I am happy the fight has been made.

                  knockout inside eight. porter is a scary welterweight. he's too strong to clinch, has fast feet, and has punching power.
                  Exactly the way I see this going. Porter closes distance like crazy. Brook's going to be in trouble. After round 3 he'll be fighting just to tread water.

                    I'm genuinely happy for Brook. Let's see what all the hype was about.

                      Well they're trying to maxmize their Barclay's deal I guess.

                      Also they'll probably have some NY fighters on there. Fletcher/Jacobs will probably be on there
