    So a temporary suspension that may not affect a single one of Canelo's fights "proves" the NSAC isn't corrupt. This is after they already robbed GGG and Kovalev and Perez (most blatantly) over the same of a year.

    All this article proves to me is that Tom Loeffler is 100% a company man. He wants this fight to go on, he wants to maintain good relationships with Vegas for the remainder of his career which will last much longer than GGG's, and if his boxer has to fight a juiced opponent, and if his boxer has to have his legacy robbed from him, so be it! He's proven he could care less. I bet they won't even get the hand wrap thing resolved LOL, let alone this PED issue. GGG is going to be fighting a juiced opponent with stacked wraps come May 5th, and after the fight is over, Tom Loeffler is going to be praising the NSAC that let it happen, and Canelo's promoter who is probably also involved in what Canelo did, same as he did after the first fight.

    I used to like Tom Loeffler. He never pressured potential GGG opponents enough for my liking to try to get them in the ring with GGG, but that was his tactics that I disagreed with. And he always seemed too diplomatic. But his intentions always seemed right. He always tried to make the best fights for GGG, probably because he knew GGG would handle anyone anyway in his prime so what did it matter? But he tried so I appreciated that.

    But now, "diplomatic" Tom Loeffler has devolved into sellout politician Tom Loeffler. If GGG still wants the fight to happen, as do I, then fine, support your fighter and say that much, but to go so far beyond that and praise the commission that robbed GGG once already, and has a history of corruption? That's just the latest of many Loeffler comments that made me suspect he was a sellout, but this one takes the cake. Now I don't even doubt it anymore.

    And Abel is the same, saying in an interview that money was more important than legacy. At least Tom is a smart sellout though. GGG's entire brand has been built on the "I like box, not business. I old school" credo, and there's Abel shooting a hole right through it, begging the question, was GGG lying all along? Was he just acting? Or is it just that his trainer has different priorities from his boxer?

    Worse, not only does Abel undercut what GGG is supposed to represent outside the ring, but his ******ity is also going to get GGG hurt. Abel recently just said that if Canelo is allowed to stack his wraps again, he still won't stack GGG's in order to even the playing field. Way to start a negotiation, Abel, by giving away the farm before it starts! A true genius! All he had to do is tell one reporter, "it's fine, I'll just stack GGG's wraps too," and it would have taken less than 24 hours for the NSAC to issue a statement that stacking is no longer allowed in any fights under their jurisdiction. But since he said he won't stack GGG's wraps no matter what, the NSAC instead issued a statement that the practice is legal.

    So unless Abel knew that, and he's just playing 3D chess so that he can change his mind at the last minute, wink win, now that the NSAC has affirmed that it's legal, and stack GGG's wraps on fight night against Canelo to help GGG get the knockout that he basically needs in order to get the win, then he's as ****** as they come. And that type of move does not seem like something that is in Abel's intellectual repertoire, although I hope I'm wrong.

      Wtf are these guys even talking about? This is all sorta loony.

      This news makes it sounds like a 2wk suspension is some sorta meaningful punishment. GGG was talking all sorts of Canelo is on PEDs sh^t the other day & now he's like I really want this fight in May?!?!??!?!

      Huh?!?! LOL. I'm so lost with this situation.

      This is looking embarrassing for EVERYONE involved now.

        ¿Seriously? Please, We still have to see cause the card has not been suspended. They still have a meeting scheduled on which Canelo does not even have to attend, he can just call. This seems more an act by the Nevada Commission to say that they did something about it. when they have not done anything until now and I have the feeling that they will not do anything and everything will stay the same

          If the Nevada State Commission think Canelo dirty and they give him, even a six month suspension thay will mean no fight for Cinco De Mayo and El Grito.

          The Grito de Dolores ("Cry of/from Dolores") was the battle cry of the Mexican War of Independence, uttered on September 16, 1810!

          Canelo brought this on himself.

            Terrible logic. Akin to saying billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have to wear expensive clothes and own expensive cars because they're worth billions.

              Well, Tom shd be giving credit to GGG. Obviously those out of character comments made Bob Bent Bennett have to look like he was doing something.

                to paraphrase OC on another forum; In other news Clenelo has a new official sponsor!

                Clen-Max is now his #1. sponsor

                "If you aren't good enough to compete, use Clen-Max and blame the meat"

                    Precisely this, I feel the same as you. Do not, repeat; DO NOT be shocked if nothing happens worthwhile to Canelo even after this news update.

                    This just feels like a desperate attempt to look and seem as though they are doing something about it.

                    Canelo suspended until a hearing in April...and we are supposed to clap and celebrate this proud showing of justice? Get the hell out of here with this pretend display of power. This means nothing. Suspended for a couple of weeks...just think about it.

                    Like I’ve said in previous posts related to this, they’ll release a statement that an investigation was carried out with trusted sources and they’ll deem it reasonable to believe it an accident. Just watch. Anything else and yes I’ll be man enough to admit I’m wrong but seriously? Canelo is surrounded by corruption and company men...suspended for a few weeks...big deal

                      This temporary suspension is a smokescreen. This is nothing more than damage control by the powers to be. Dela Hoya and the commission cronies were taken back by all the negative publicity so they'll have this kangaroo hearing and officially declare Canelo fit to fight and brush the whole incident under the table. Canelo is the cash cow, he has been carefully moved along by careful opponent selection and very favorable judges. He's lost fights in the past but won decisions because he is making the cronies so much money. Fights are fixed in many ways, careful judge selection, ring size which should be standard is always a point of negotiation, how flexible the ring and ropes are, the gloves and even the arena all which usually benefits the A side of the ticket. Can you imagine in another sport like football where the field size is negotiated! Why isn't the ring size and specifications written in a rule book? How can a fighter fail 2 drug tests and not be suspended and fined? The whole purpose of screening for PEDS is to prevent one side from having an unfair advantage in a dangerous sport. Now we hear Canelo can have the unfair advantage if his public relations team can sell it to the public. If it's an unfair advantage it shouldn't matter how he got it, right? Canelo and his team are just so crooked and as the money gets bigger the cheating is more blatant. Plenty of less known fighters were immediatly suspended for the same infraction Canelo made but it really all comes down to money. This fight will happen but regardless of the outcome Canelo cheated whether knowingly or unknownly.
