The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

I'm not a blogger. A blogger writes his opinions on other people's work. I don't do that. I do my own work and research. Badlefthook.com is a blog IMO. A very good one. But they cite me and others. Not the other way around.

You have to know what you are talking about to debate any point regarding me. You clearly don't.

 

Probably because I'm the only one doing real investigative work. Have I not written about every one of these cases except for Chavez/Lee which Cianni covered beautifully? Honestly, JCC, JR's manager won't talk to me. Texas won;t call back after my first story on them. Cianni got to Steward's people first and did a great job. Unlike the guys in the major sites who have ripped off my work all this time, I didn't feel the need to tread over Cianni but rather endorse and encourage him and others to follow the path of old school writers and investigate.

Everyone takes Dan Rafael's word for it. He called 3 people and got the same 3 answers.

Funny, Dan shares the same agent as Freddie Roach. Does that conflict of interest not bother you? It bothers me especially when I break Peterson, Berto, Cavalcante and now Tarver and does Dan cite me once? No. Follow Dan;s timeline and follow Steve Kim's and laugh at how Dan breaks everything hours later but never credits Steve.

You have to look at a larger picture, man.

 

Damn Dan has the same agent as Roach, No wonder....

 

I boycotted Floyd's fight because he beats women. I didn't feel his court date should have been moved. No one with a right mind disagrees with that decision.

 

From Kevin Iole's piece on May/Mosley testing:

"The news of the date of the final pre-fight blood draw – 18 days before the fight, in Mayweather’s case – might give hope to fans who want to see a bout between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao."

You gotta know your **** to argue with me.

 

Gabriel I think you're a great journalist and stand by your belief that Floyd's date shouldn't have been pushed back.

What irks me with you though, is that the likes of Chavez are blatantly cheating, yet the extent of your campaign is focussed on Mayweather, who's most likely not?

To me it feels as though as you're letting your hate with Floyd cloud your judgement.

I think it's good what you're doing, but I think there's some bias involved, which is preventing me backing you the full 100%.

 

He explains it. He couldn't get calls/replies from the people he tried and Cainni(?) got to Steward's people first. He would have simply been stepping on someone else's story at that point. He tried, and failed, to get the info. These guys don't have investigative/police powers. They have to go by who cooperates with them.

 

Here is the thing. You guys need to stop assuming that what you don't see is not happening.

Did you know I would break Peterson? I didn't.

Did you know I would break any of these fighters testing positive? I knew I had great contacts in place with all of them but no. I didn't know.

Every story I have written on PEDs has come upon me. What I haven't written is vast. But it takes time.

But unless you have read everything I have written on the subject, I don't want to hear I am only focused on Floyd. I have written pieces on every fighter who tested positive. With the article "Floyd Mayweather and the New Wave of Drug testing in Boxing" the point was to show how close a "test" dealer could get to a major Vegas fight. I think I did that accurately. But I covered Chavez' first Texas screwup like no other. I'm the only guy to cover the USADA/Quillin/Wright story which I feel is very significant. I've covered the subject of PEDs in boxing like no one else and I have done it as accurately and fairly as I know how.

The stories have come to me. To us as a sport, really. I've just endeavored to do more than guys like Rafael who ask one or two questions and take everyone's word for it. Dude doesn't visit boxing gyms. There are a lot of people who won't talk to him but he's not transparent about it. He acts as if they all do. Guys criticize me for publicizing that legal letter or saying out loud GBP has banned me now twice. It was for a reason.

The point is I work the way I ask VADA and USADA to. Transparently. You guys know there are certain people who won't take my calls (Schaefer, DiBella, Kizer) because I let you know. I think its your right to know. Just as that legal threat was. I had a major writer come up to me recently and thank me for printing it. "I got one, too" he said an explained it was about another subject. His venue would not print something like that so he didn't. What I did, I did for other writers. Not to out Floyd. It was to show you who GBP really is.

If I was reckless or biased, I would print every damn rumor I heard, every piece of circumstantial evidence I have. The book would probably be 300 pages long. But it would unfair and not as well-researched as my job dictates. I heard this morning a rumor that would blow your mind. I can't print it until I research it thoroughly. What's funny is its the same rumor I heard two years ago but could never get a lead on. See, that's how this works. You takes notes, you listen, wait and work diligently. Eventually, the truth comes to light. Or that is the hope.

That's all I got for now, fellas. Gym time.

Peace. Gonna be good fights tonight.

 

Montoya's enemies here should heed the following truth: it is damned hard -- ****ing hard as hell -- for a world class athlete in many sports to compete successfully these days unless he is taking PED's. Boxing is one of those sports.

Face it. This is happening. It's just reality.

Now, for powerful people in boxing to come down hard on Montoya just because he investigates allegations of PED use -- not because he reports that the PED use actually happened (he didn't say that) but just because he investigates rumors -- sounds pretty damned weird to me.

Let's put two and two together here, guys.

 

That's the simple truth. I would have loved to write that story. Emanuel headed off to Austria before I could get him. Cianni got him in Austria. Good on him.

 

I do not understand how anybody who calls themselves a fan of the sport, can disagree with this, or be against it. if GBP is pulling strings from behind the curtains while feeding the public Bull**** claiming they are going to help improve the sport for the safety of our fighters.

Well if they are fronting and doing sour **** in the background we do have a right to know about this.

 

gabe what do you know about this "inadvertant usage clause" or "therapeutic usage exemption" in gbp's contracts with usada?

i don't really care about floyd failing tests. wouldn't be the first fighter to.

i'm curious about any exemption/clause in their contract.

i think that's the big story.

if there is such a clause/exemption..... it looks bad , feels bad , smells bad.

 

You haven't followed along have you? "Medical Need" is wide open at this point.


The California State Athletic Commission voted on Monday to approve an amendment that allows therapeutic use exemptions (TUE) for combat sports’ athletes who use drugs currently banned by the state agency for medical purposes, including testosterone and marijuana.

Too long. Did not read.

This man is a forum posting, butthurt, ****** who craves attention. He lives on rumours. When he wasn't desperately trying to get his own back on Floyd, He broke 2 VADA related stories then did nothing but try and discredit USADA and the commisions with ******ed mix of innuendos and lies.

I hope VADA are paying this ***. At least we know Victor Conte makes money by talking ****.

Just remember, if Floyd hadn't brought up the issue of PEDs and testing, then humiliated this *** in public, Montoya would not give a **** about any of this.

Floyd created Gabby Montoya. Floyd is his daddy.

 

Willful ignorance. Enjoy that.
