Andy Ruiz smiles: I'm not going to the UK to be set up!!!!!

[Rusty Tromboni]

Ruiz knows what's up. Everyone knows what's up. 2 of their 3 best HWs have been busted and the 3rd is a walking advertisement for steroids.

That doesn't tell you anything about pro-sports? Nothing at all? Really, no deductions are being made, whatsoever?

You see these big blinking neon signs and hear the roaring speakers, but the point still can't make it home?


Maybe a telegram will do the trick?


Again, I am not condoning this behavior. If you get caught, you need to get punished - severely. But Boxing fans don't need anymore help to look like the dopes everyone thinks we are.

What does Whyte have to do with this?

It ain't about Whyte. Its about the UK commission allowing a guy on PEDs to fight or at least its about not telling the other fighter his opponent got popped & allowing him to make the call if its something more borderline-ish he got popped for.

We haven't even seen the results of his B sample, if it comes back clean would you be so quick to label him a cheat?

Waiting for the B sample is just waiting for the 0.1% chance something got mixed up cuz 99.9% of the time the A & B samples match & there are far less accurate things we take as facts then this. So fair play to Whyte if it turns out his B sample is clean but I'd bet 99.9% of my net worth, so like $77, that it comes back dirty & if I could make bets like these all the time with every dirty test I'd be a millionaire before I went broke.

By that same logic Joshua should never have fought in the US because Miller is a proven cheat and as we saw in the Fury vs Wilder fight robberies happen in the US

I think there is a huge difference between a guy being popped for PEDs & being suspended (either before the fight or after with test results that come in after the fight) vs a guy getting popped & being allowed to fight at all. This is more like the Danny Garcia vs Erik Morales fight when Erik popped dirty & the fight still happened. At least in that case Danny knew of the situation. Rivas & his team are claiming they received no heads up about Whyte being dirty. This shouldn't be happening under any respectable commission.

And bad decisions happen everywhere from time to time. We all know this.

If you don't see why this is a unique situation idk what else to say to you to convinve you it is a unique situation & a bad look for the UK commission. Kinda hoping this isn't true, but with how long they kept the Fury banned substances news under wraps its not THAT surprising to me.

I've seen a few post like yours and it's dumbfounding to me. He tagged itsasetup, ie. fighting in the UK is only beneficial for UK fighters as there is clearly a lot of shadiness going on with Matchroom and Hearn.

Unless ofc you're saying that it's ok for a doper like Whyte who was just caught but allowed to fight anyways? Why did UKAD and Hearn not notify the WBC or Rivas like UKAD was supposed to? Instead they notified Hearn's side only.

Eddie Hearn knew Whyte failed the test before the fight took place and didn't tell anybody.

The fight was in the UK & Rivas wasn't made aware of the situation & the fight went ahead without Rivas being cool with it. Thats crazy & f#cked up the UK let a PED'd up mfer fight a guy who didn't know it.

Eddie Hearn was informed his fighter had failed a test. Eddie Hearn didn't inform Rivas and his team. Because of the way the BBBoC is set up they weren't required to inform Rivas and the fight was allowed to continue. Switch Whyte's name FOR AJ and Rivas for Ruiz and that's why Ruiz doesn't want to go

Oh ok, I didnt know that Hearn knew it. I thought only the BBBoC knew about it.

My bad, if that is the case, its f@ckep up.

Fixed for you.

“He did this so it’s his turn” is a childish reason.

If it’s in the contract, that’s one thing. If it’s not, then nobody owes Joshua anything because he came to the USA. He didn’t do it as a favor, it was because he couldn’t get anyone to fight at Wembley.

Where did I say “It’s his turn” 😂. You are reaching, fact is he was a voluntary challenger, instead of having to wait three years for a shot, he jumped the queue. That’s why he signed a rematch contract which gives the champ the right to control the rematch if he lost the first fight. Well the “champ”’lost the first fight and he has no choice now but to comply with the contract that he signed.

[Bobby Deez]

These days fighting in Russia is a better deal than fighting in the UK.

[bigjavi973]

If he's worried about steroids request VADA, but truth is he's worried he can't repeat the performance v Joshua.

Edit: Turns out Whyte did VADA who didn't catch him, UKAD caught him and he fought anyway so maybe Andy has a point. If you're Rivas, you're furious.

does anyone know how far apart those tests were?

[bigjavi973]

He has no choice. The fight will be where ever AJ says it will be. It's in the contract he signed to get the fight. He won the fight but he is not the A side unless he wins the rematch.

I would like to see the contract since so many here know the details of it.....

I’m not going to the UK for the rematch #issasetup https://t.co/ahbMJkPWxi

Andy signed a contract; if he has any sense of honor or decency he will live up to the terms of the contact.

It's Hearn without decency or honor by not telling Rivas!!!!
