Got to agree to disagree there. At 36-years-old and 2 stoppage defeats in three fights. The length of the ban is just a nod to tell him to stop. Something he should have been considering anyway, IMO.

This is my understanding of how the UK does things.

Agree - my opinion would probably change if it was a younger fighter with more upside. Boxing is big here now and I don't want anything to damage it. It stick a pin in the balloon when someone gets seriously hurt in the UK. Badly affects the sport. It is why terrestrial channels still don't like getting involved in boxing due to Eubank/Watson an others.

I'm more pro-PEDs than virtually anyone not trolling, but the reality is if you are going hard on PEDs you need to actually go hard on guys who get caught using PEDs & there are very small sections of the boxing world talking them seriously in any way & I think the UK is doing a better job than most.

it's cheating and it should be banned; 2 years for diuretic (first offence) is reasonable.
