    Oh, You had no interest in having a meaningful conversation. Gotcha.

      What is there to be meaningful about? American boxing is riddled with peds cheating because America doesn't bother to try catch the cheats. My point being British drug testing would catch all those American cheats but as you pointed out they have their excuses.

Hell, I live in Canada and California has a bigger population than my whole country.

        Plus, with just the damn land mass get ready for the excuse "oh his B sample got lost by USPS" Canada Post can't even get me my damn bills on time!
        How random drug testing works doesn’t depend on the population of a country. Every countries WADA (Representatives) should be able to get to athletes when they need to, you cut your coat according to your size.

          It didn't matter. This was a crowd pleasing, fun television fight between two club fighters with no skill. Neither guy is championship caliber material anyway. This was a battle of wills and a balls to the walls type of scrap and I loved it.

            Club fighters? Come on man, there's more levels to boxing than

            1. World Champion
            2. Club Fighter
            3. Bum

              You are right! My bad! However, I do believe that there are different tiers in boxing and I just don't see Adam Kownacki or Chris Arreola on the same championship level as a Deontay Wilder because their styles are face first brawlers which will play right into the "Bronze Bomber's" hands.

                And that's fair, but Adam is still a top 10 guy, and Arreola was in his prime. Remember that Arreola has fought in 3 championship fights. I know a lot of guys don't like to give credit to Bermane (though he was a hard hitting counter puncher in his prime) he still went 10 rounds with Vitali and 8 rounds with Wilder.

                Plus, he's 38 now. lol

                      I didnt expect that from a shill like you. But it was a hell of a card. I dont care that it wasnt their A list fighters, it was highly competitive for most of the night and that is the life blood of this sport. Competitive fights where you dont know for sure who is going to win.
