Comments Thread For: Usyk vs. Spong in Doubt - Spong Adverse Finding in VADA Test

[Scooby817]

That was Spong'$ opportunity of a lifetime. Why can't these clowns stay clean? He really pi$$ed away a nice payday.

Dont they normally still let them fight when they fail a test?

Usyk vs Chisora seems like a good option

[REDEEMER]

This isn't a shocker , Spong has fought overseas most of his career and isn't the same fighter with testing in place , could explain why he hasn't done much since becoming a pure boxer . I thought this might happen .

Seems su****ious. Also a disturbing trend with hearn fights. This is the 3rd with drugs as "the story".

Very inconsistent of hearn to publicize this, after keeping so silent about the Whyte affair until after the fight. VADA had alerted all involved, but no one had called off the fight before hearn publicized it. Yet he didn't even alert the other camp in the Whyte situation. Very inconsistent (save all that BBOC (co-conspirators) rules mumbo-jumbo, that won't fly in the US). Doing the right thing trumps that noise.

If Spong's 2nd sample returns clean this will be even more mysterious. Disturbing.

How is hearn so lucky to always have test-flunking fighters and drug controversy in his mix?

Has me wondering how many people are being bought out of their integrity. Lots of strange stuff going on.

I guess Usyk gets any ole cab-driver in light of all this. Spong wasn't a safe enough opponent?

Time will tell.

Yeah man, really su****ious these drug tests. Should just do as PBC does and have no VADA testing at all

[landotter]

Usyk is truly snake-bit so far in the HW division. Bad ju-ju beans.

[minemax]

Allegedly, the short list is: Joey Dawejko, Travis Kauffman, Chazz Witherspoon.

[Citizen Koba]

Ah bollocks. Well, saves me putting up a Pick Em for this week I guess, less they come through with some unexpectedly good late sub.

I heard Whytes b sample might have tainted spongs test.

Hearn confirmed its all a misunderstanding.
