And yet produces some great nights still

Beterbiev Yarde especially three great cards already this year you just learn to ignore the stupidity and corruption, it’s quite a sad fact that it was probably “ fairer “ when it was run by the mob !
But boxing is one of those ‘sports’ where in the pros I would like a category where I can watch juiced up competitors beating on each other. A bit like strongest-man or wrestling or bodybuilding, it is as much about maximum spectacle as it is about the outcome.
The boxing authorities agree with you
I genuinely believe most top boxers are clean.
This weeks antics has took the sport to a new low.
Money
Power
Corruption
And semi corrupt money mad powerful characters like hearn, arum and warren telling the board what to do is not …. Ideal
You’re describing UFC there aren’t you?
I can’t work out how they think the public believes it, or they just don’t care what they think.
Most people probably don’t care if it’s a good fight though.
His SM post today giving the bird in his roller flashing the bling just shows how lacking in class he really is. His old man had more talent in his little finger than this cheat.
His physique, power, results and performances from 2020 - 2022 scream peds.
He went from an “ also ran” to a Ko machine whilst fighting better and better guys and remaining the same weight ( 147)
Eyebrows were raised when he agreed to fight a SMW at a 157? Catchweight, some would say cashing in on there fathers names ( ok, all would say)
The governing body that gave him the
“ all clear” is the same organisation that will give the you tube star jake Paul a top 30 ranking if he beats Tommy fumbles ( Tommy Fury, Tysons brother 8-0, but never fought anyone, but he is Tyson’s brother, his dad told me! ) on Sunday night.
It’s the same organisation that’s changed the tolerances for clenbuterol so there star and cash cow Saul “ Canelo “ Alvarez could beat GGG.
Triathlon wise lots of eyeballs have been on two very fast Norwegians in the last 2-3 years, but I can guarantee whatever there doing it will pale into insignificance compared to boxing and MMA.
The icing on the cake is a proposed fight between Connor Cholesterol Benn and the ex legend Manny Pac ( who 100% juiced previously )
One of theses days someone is going to die in a boxing ring ( this still happens unfortunately) and his opponent male or female ( womens boxing is growing at a rapid rate now) will test pos…
What are they going to do with them?!?
I could go on and on and on it’s corrupt AF and it’s all down to the greed and stupid amounts of cash it generates.
My favourite ever fighter, talent is perhaps not the best word to describe Nigel, I can think of loads who were more talented but god could he fight.
Obviously sticking by his son but I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that house !
Still on SM banging on about how he isn’t a cheat and the labs contaminated his tests and it was a minor trace and his scientists weren’t allowed access to b sample tests. If all this really did happen, it makes a mockery of the sport. Benn using the defence “The UKAD test came back clean a week later”, but sorry that proves nothing for me, just that it had moved through the body quicker or testing was by urine rather than blood.
It will surprise no one that I think he is talking shite. Lots of athletes have been proven to be doping and never returned a positive test. Trying to bring doubt over the process is classic deflection.
Watched 15? Interviews about Conor Hen … that really is going to stick by other pros, ex pros, pundits, money men the usual suspects.
Virtually all identical what a nice fella, lovely lad he’s guilty ……AF !
The fact he’s now trying to sue the British boxing board of no control for 3.5 million is just astounding, his promotor is little better and fast Eddie has lost a lot of sway over this fiasco.
But an all time new low must be negotiating a fight with a 100 year old Manny Pac man Whike all this was going on, just awful
I bet he’s had un oeuf of that already
Bet huevos he did wrong, but they could take a Gallina piss and he would test negative
Interesting and glad she was eventually cleared as it sounds genuine, and now USADA calling for reforms to WADA’s code that all AAF’s are made public before evidence is gathered, even when it is clear there was no wrongdoing. Also, the amount of money wasted in testing and proving innocence when it is obvious to all that it was a small trace found and clear straight away accidental
Oh dear Amir. “Not intentionally doping” . Boxing going after a fighter who has been retired for a year whilst letting active drugs cheats walk free because they ate 50 eggs a day 
strict liability my arse
Apparently you could return a positive test by shaking someone’s hand.
Wbc say he’s free to fight !
We
Be
Crooks!
But not in this country, khan gassed after 4 mins v Kell in a showdown that was decades too late ( I still haven’t seen it) so whatever it was I’d be asking for a refund.
I think I posted on here 5? Years ago that mma and boxing was the next big problem, a very bizarre run of fights getting cancelled this year ( they only get tested in camp) unless there on the WBC clean programme ( most aren’t… money) It’s a mess for sure.
Italian triathlete banned for 5 years. he raced at the World LD Champs in Slovenia last year where I was a TO - don’t think he was drug tested there as he was 16th - his ban was the result of an out of competition test.
He’s banned from all sports, so presumably can’t do the normal ‘celebrity’ circuit of running London marathon or GNR, Ride London etc.
