    Cupping therapy is extremely efficient method to boost performance, it has plenty of evidence throughout the years and it was already practiced in the ancient Greece. Khan, former Canelo opponent, clearly regained a lot of his old form yesterday but it just wasn't enough against Kell Brook, former GGG opponent. Last night was another irrefutable proof that GGG is couple of levels above Canelo when one of his weaker opponents easily beat one of Canelo's best.

    Of course it is, of course Kell Brook beat the best version of Amir Khan, who was "helped" by the "cupping therapy" lmao. Come on man, clearly this sapped him of his energy and was a wildly stupid and desperate move by Khan who was being advised by his wife and low-blow artist Bud Crawford and his team lol.
    We'll get to that in the GGG appreciation topic. GGG's resume gets a boost and Canelo's resume takes a hit as a result of this. But this was a horrible version of Khan. By far the worst Khan has ever looked.

    I have had cupping done before. It has not affected him at all. Search for "Michael Phelps" cupping images. The dude won olympic golds like that. Looks dramatic but is less invasive than your average massage.

    Cupping has no effect positive or negative, you may as well just have someone giving you hickies. It's mumbo jumbo.

    Cupping does nothing. It has no positive or negative effects. It's an holistic fad.

    It had zero effect on khans performance. He's old, shot, and 31 months out of the game, fighting a guy who always had his number.

    If it had no effect positive or negative, then why mark your body up like that? Surely he was advised by someone that he needed to have that treatment on the day of the fight, which is mental.

    I did see that, but that's a completely different sport.

    OK then that makes it a bigger fail for Khan to get it the day of the fight and mark up his body like that if it provided no benefit. All we seen is the worst version of Khan ever with large black marks all over his body.

    Numerous athletes competing in different sports at the olympics have visible cupping marks on them such as Olympic weightlifters and swimmers etc, to say it zapped khans energy is a pathetic attempt at finding an excuse for him

    TS is weirdly obsessed with the aesthetic effect of cupping.

    He probably got desperate realising his camp wasn't long enough to offset the 3 year lay off
