Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders Ready To Fight Golovkin - But Not on May 5

[Shadoww702]

Thanks for this bit of info. He really said he's not fighting anymore in vegas?

LOL! An article just got posted off Oscar saying he expects Pednelo to fight in the summer....Where do you think that is???

Doubt Golovkin can do this because he wants to keep the HBO date.

If he's suspended he won't be able to get a license to box in another state. Its considered a spit in the face to the commission and the commissions are usually working in tandem.

If it worked that way, then essentially its ***k the rules. If you get caught cheating, just move to another state. Horrible precedent to set. That reflects badly on the states athletic commission.

They're money hungry, but there's not enough money to cover the liability if they let a fighter that was suspended in another state fight in their state, and then god forbid he seriously hurts GGG or worst case turns him into a vegetable like Magomed and Mcclellan. That type of negligence at a minimum lands guys court dates and at worst in prison. Its not near worth the headache for some sanctioning fees.

Canelo is suspended by the Nevada commission as a form of punishment, not to make sure that the banned substance has left his system because they already did and not to make sure that he wouldn't get the benefit of a cycle on fight night. They wanna make an example out of Canelo which is understandable and is the right thing to do. However other commissions shouldn't be worried if Canelo keeps getting tested and passes all the tests till mid September, taking Clen in February will definitely not help Canelo by any means in September. Even if Canelo hurts GGG permanently, they can't blame it on drugs if Canelo passes all tests for 6+ months leading up to the fight.

Other states wouldn't give a damn and The association of boxing commissions will let Canelo fight. Nevada will probably suspend Canelo for 6 months anyways starting from the day he failed the test (retroactive suspension like they did with Jon Jones) so that he'd be cleared to fight in September, Nevada still wanna make money in 2018. I think that's exactly what Löffler is looking at and he's probably already communicating with all the commissions.

FACT: they could EASILY defer the fight, so that Golovkin can chase his WBO "dream"..... right?

right ? b,b,b,but.....

Clenela cheated man, that happened, it really did. BJS is the one, not GGG, saying he won't be ready by May 5th when he was going to be ready to fight next weekend (April 14th).

Maybe it's time to look at the facts and set the emotions aside for a change?

[Shadoww702]

And too not be a dic but If Pednelo is TRULY innocent and the NAC can't even be professional enough to wait until he has the chance to present ALL his facts??? I won't blame him. This reminds me soo much of the NCAA handling of Shabazz Muhammad??? When her boyfriend on a plane bragged he was guilty no matter what he did or say....

What's sad is Pednelo hasn't even had a chance to state his case??? And the NAC already has convicted him? Not even with samble |B| testing positive either... The NAC has more leaks than the Whitehouse

GGG vs BJS in june, make it, I'd like to see that...

[Build That Wall]

GGG, Just fight in June. Fight this clown before Canelo does.

1. His case was already stated with 2 failed tests

2. Canelo's team, before each fight, has lawyers that go over every state commissions bylaws. They were well aware, before they signed the GGG rematch, of the "strict liability" clause in the NAC bylaws.

3. A sample almost always confirms sample A. That wouldn't look good for Canelo. Besides, sample B will only be tested on request of the boxer himself. Furthermore, NSAC doesn't need a sample B to punish Canelo

Bottom line is this: NSAC states very clearly that "...it is not necessary to establish that the unarmed combatant intentionally, knowingly or negligently used a prohibited substance..." Meaning, it doesn't matter if he did microdosed or if he ate contaminated meat - if it's in his system, it's his responsibility, period. And if it's in his system, he will face suspension. They make it pretty cut and dry via their bylaws.
