    Doug Fisher on tainted beef

    Two weeks before canelo:

    ''Regarding Mexican fighters using the “tainted beef excuse” to get away with using banned PEDs, it’s up to the commissions and the sanctioning organizations to properly punish these guys. It’s 2018. Athletes can’t play dumb any more. It’s part of their responsibility to monitor what they put into their bodies and to avoid ingesting anything that will introduce a banned substance into their systems.''

    After canelo:

    "But just because they should have been more careful about what Canelo put into his mouth doesn’t mean he’s a cheater or that he’s trying to cheat for this bout or that he should automatically be punished and the May 5 rematch should be postponed or cancelled."

    I know some here don't regard DF as unbiased, but this just takes the cake, talk about being faithful to whoever signs your paycheck.

    I know some boxing fans don't like Fischer, but i tend to like his stuff. This is weak though, guess he doesn't want to upset his employers.

      I let my subscription to The Ring lapse after they put him in charge. Lifelong reader, but I could not abide that shit. Dougie is the ultimate biased basement dwelling wierdo with completely outlandish views on everything. Dude always has an agenda.

      What's that quote from him about black people not being real boxing fans because they didn't like Gerry Cooney, again?

        Fischer has **** on Canelo plenty of times calling him a ducker etc so to say he doesn't want to piss off GBP is BS. He's also a known Golovkin nuthugger.

          Did you even read what he said? He's actually being pro-Canelo here. You are way too defensive over anything that involves GGG.

            Doug is a good guy and I've enjoyed his stuff since HOB (back in the late 90's), had beers with him and talked to him at plenty of fights.

            I don't agree with his take on giving Canelo he benefit of the doubt but it's all good though. Hard to agree on everything.

                He said Canelo would beat Floyd two days before the fight. After the fight he made all type of excuses

                    Or the whole good Black people/bad Black people thing with the Demograpic, pointing out specific segments that were bad fans. Funny how he doesn’t do that for other races. Right then and there, I realized he was an insecure idiot.
