Comments Thread For: Povetkin vs. Duhaupas Showdown Will Happen, Says Ryabinsky

[Canelo and GGG]

WTF is going on ?

[Weltschmerz]

So he will replace Stiverne on what, 12 hr notice?



Isn't Povetkin facing any charges over this ****?

[mlac]

but the fight was still going ahead when stirverne tested positive? i dont get it...

If Johann wins, he may become my favorite boxer at HW. For him, it's a very smart move to take this fight assuming he doesn't get significantly injured. He has nothing to lose and with a win that could really catapult his opportunities going forward... With that being said, Povetkin should be done with boxing. There are levels to being caught with drugs in your system and clearly he is a xheater. I could never fault Stiverne nor Wilder for not fighting him... He doesn't deserve thise paydays...

WTF. Quickest turnaround for a replacement opponent in history!

TBH it looks like they already knew could be a possibility he gets busted for peds and had a backup plan just in case stiverne decided to not go through.....They know dude juices his a$$ off

Read up on what stiverne tested positive for in his energy drink.... It's no comparison y'all gotta stop that argument

Why isn't this cheating prick banned for life.

[Patsfan bri]

The WBC was still sanctioned the fight after Stiverne failed his test cause they did conclude that he inadvertently drank something that was banned. A lot of drinks amd pre workout drinks have a warning right on the label in small print saying some ingredients may be banned by anti doping agencies.

Duhaupas is probably a better opponent than Stiverne if he's in shape

[VatoMulatto]

Busted for PEDs and still allowed to fight and get a nice pay check?
