Comments Thread For: Duva: Bivol is Stepping Up in Barrera Bout, Has a Lot to Prove

[Floyd is TBE]

I've been saying for a while I think they're rushing Bivol into this fight.

[ShoulderRoll]

already a buzz that the fight is off, because the Bivol team did not accept testing. I really hope this is rumor, because I genuinely believe Bivol would **** n drop Barrera.

the glitch it seems is VADA clause was not part of the initial agreement . Now Barrera team talking about adding VADA clause.

VADA should not be a glitch at all. Especially since Barrera was even willing to pay for it himself.

Just becuase he's russian he must be on PEDs? them Cubans are just as suspect

But i dont think Bivol or Barrera are on anything

If the black guy didn't want to be tested u would be calling him all kinds of names but let's be real if he is s on steroids he Russian is that a shock let's be real why u think they keep getting banned from Olympics most of them can't compete unless they cheat

[german12johnson]

Barrera said bivols dragging his feet for testing, so everyone just eats that up and calls bivol a cheat with no evidence. Bivol is gonna smash on barrera

If it was the other way around u would be calling barrea a cheat russians cheat they been doing this with they athletes since the cold war days

No i wouldnt, i would wait till i heard something from Barrera's camp first before making some judgement. I like Both fighters very much... i'm not the kinda dude to bring race issues into boxing.

Did Bivol agree to drug testing??? Not accusing him cause sometimes a story goes out that is inaccurate.

If a Black, white, yellow, red, green, brown fighter doesnt want to do VADA or USADA testing then i have a huge problem with. They've been trying to get him to sign for VADA testing for 3 weeks now. And are getting no responses back.

VADA should not be a glitch at all. Especially since Barrera was even willing to pay for it himself.

God forbid for fighters wanting to protect themselves against cheating. Refusing to not do drug testing should be like refusing a sobriety test. Automatic guility and banned 2 years.

He's fighting for the WBA title, all top 15 fighters from the start of 2018 have to enroll for VADA testing or be stripped of their ranking or titles as per the WBA's fair boxing program. All fighters and promoters have been informed of this on the 6th of April 2017.

So it doesn't matter if he agreed or not to this, he has to do it and should have technically already enrolled or risk being stripped.
