This is Eddie Hearn on Canelo... "Having spoke to doctors, when we put a VADA random testing in process, previously we’ve done it with 8 weeks to go. The doctors have told me this is the biggest waste of time game. You need it 16 weeks out because a drug cheat will stop their cycle probably by 8 weeks...which is about the time that this has happened, which again don’t look great."
How opportune. He didn't get caught intentionally, but his handlers are no doubt liking the "aging" as they call it in the sport. 2 problems. 1. He's going to have to submit to year round VADA now which means the stamina issues will come back and body mass will go down. 2. Team Golovkin probably sees they don't need the fight now. With red tape or tune-ups (bc Canelo would be crazy to take a rematch off the "gear" with a year of inactivity) Golovkin could be at or near 37 by the time this fight happens. Of 6000 polled on Bleacher Report of black, white, hispanic, asian etc, 80% believed GGG won. 10% were for Canelo and 10% were for draw. That's not 37 people. That's 6,000 fight fans. Golovkin and his team know the way boxing works. They don't need the rematch. Anyone saying he does is strictly ego just trying to hope their man can get some redemption. I didn't care who won, I just wanted a good fight. But now all of this comes out. And it's ruining the sport. Big cong**** to Golovkin for fighting clean at nearly a decade older and being THE champ.
