Comments Thread For: Hearn Insists USADA Testing Agreed Upon For Porter-Brook

[JakeNDaBox]

Promoter Eddie Hearn contacted BoxingScene.com Wednesday afternoon, after some revealing comments from Paulie Malignaggi on BBC Radio 5 Live on Tuesday regarding random drug testing in the August 16 welterweight title fight between unbeaten champion Shawn Porter and undefeated challenger Kell Brook.

The bout is due to take place at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Malignaggi, a former two-weight world champion who lost to Porter in April, told Radio 5’s Ian Payne and Steve Bunce that no random drug testing will take place prior to the fight. The claim is based on a conversation he had l with Ken Porter—the champion’s father and trainer—last weekend in San Francisco at a local boxing show. According to the elder Porter, there will be no random drug testing taking place for this fight, despite Brook and Hearn’s insistence that it has been contractually agreed upon.

Once again more fishy stuff from Porter's team. First they claimed Brook was stalling and now saying there isn't any testing.

Gotta get that ish outta his system before committing to any random testing.

Yeah but did brook really sign the contract to insure there would be drug testing, or did thdy go by a handshake or some shiat? Imo i dont see why people are even questioning this kid.

If there is testing, look for Porter to fight like a tamed kitty.

Brook wins this regardless of what **** Porter's pumping into his body

[Hougigo]

USADA? So expect a test to be destroyed or to fight regardless of somebody testing positive

[M Bison]

On the plus side If Shawn is on the juice it wont make him any stylistically better but...
Down the stretch this could be a huge disadvantage for someone like Kell Brook who didn't look conditioned that well.
