From: http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/181475-weekend-review-you-gotta-love-provodnikov- Guillermo Jones lost his sanctioning-body cruiserweight title and Denis Lebedev, whom Jones knocked out in May, was reinstated after it was determined that Jones took diuretics.
this is one instance BR is behind on the rest of the box sites. the decision was made last week, and they still haven't changed the outcome.
yes he is and that fight was classic i think Lebedev is finished after that beat down! We shall see i guess. Most likely they will feed him couple of bums and then cash out on him!
He's a cheating scumbag, he should be banned permanently. (not that it matters he's 42 or so) Yeah, that's one hell of a consolation, "at least he damaged Lebedev good, i'm happy with that". :finger
Sad to see Olubamiwo will be back apparently. Let hope Guillermo Jones will be gone from boxing forever.
Diuretics?? Really? well thats not a performance enhancing drug. it was used to rid the body of excess water.. dont wanna take any credit away from Lebedev cause he is very courageous and a true warrior.. dont see Lebedev winning the fight if they rematch...
Well if it allows a fighter to make a weight he otherwise would be unable to then it has given an advantage. It might not make him fight better, but does allow him to fight bigger. And that's without even considering the use of diuretics as masking agents.
No, its dangerous to the person taking it. I can dehydrate to dangerous levels, and hinders performance. Jones could have cause himself serious injury during this fight.
who cares....Lebedev got the $hit beat out of him regardless of that belt they gave back to him.... and it was done so by a 40 year old former junior middleweight
