Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Ring Return Set For July 1 in Moscow

Deserves a life time ban he does.

The 4 / 5 main sanctioning bodies need to come to an agreement; that if any fighter is caught by any of them they are banned by all of them...

AND that any fighter in any of their top 15s who fights a suspended fighter receives a hefty fine and a 2 year ban themselves.

This would ensure that a fighter like Povetkin was effectively ostracised for the duration of their ban (in Povetkin's case I'd make it 5 years) and would not be able to secure a decent fight.

Nice, the biggest name on Wilder's resume is returning.

[Combat Talk Radio]

"Meldronate is a cardiovascular medicine freely available for purchase at pharmacies across Russia without doctor’s prescription."

Off topic, but anyone besides me pizzed that pretty much every country BUT the U.S. has cheaper and more easily accessed RXs? Feking politicians are way deep in bed with Big Med and Big Pharma. That b.s. HAS to end.

To be fair, healthcare in general in the U.S. is broken, down to who ultimately pays for what.

The ease of access to certain drugs shouldn't be applauded. The real issue is the judgment against other drugs.

But then I've always been a fan of the notion that if a drug doesn't make you more physically powerful, it should just be allowed. It would simplify the situation for the fighters involved and prevent things like Stiverne getting banned over an energy drink.

He should sign to fight Ortiz with a gentleman's agreement that they can take any substance they want

It would probably be the best heavyweight fight we've seen since the '90s

What are the odds that his opponent pops a dirty test?

[TheUptownKid]

Bernie just tried and had the support of a few big name **********s like Cruz and Paul. But Corey Booker and the rest the the corporatist dems and repubs killed the bill.




The WBA uses Vada now, the IBF and WBO banned him and the IBO doesn't enforce mandos... he's fighting for no glory...

Wouldn't say booker is corporatist, New Jersey just has a lot of jobs in pharmacy. I think federal policy will eventually allow for more generic drugs to be passed by ada at lower price points

[BoxingFan85]

The other orgs should suspend his ass too..

[bojangles1987]

This c*nt shouldn't be allowed in a boxing ring anytime this year.

[j0zef]

So... all of Povetkin's fights will be in Russia because of..?
