Benn fails drug test

Junior’s just posted a video of him making weight - 159.3. A proper pro.

 

Well summarised.

It’s one of the reasons why I think many athletes exploit the TUE rules. It happens a lot with American MMA fighters and also WWE wrestlers to bypass the company’s wellness policy. They destroy their natural testosterone production so that they can have a prescription for testosterone and other substances.

The vid from Doctor Usman about the longevity of certain hormones in the body is very informative too. Tells you how easy it is to bypass the drug testing.

 

When the fight was originally made I did post on here saying that the weight cut wouldn’t impact Eubank nearly as much as many people predicted.

If the fight went on tonight, Eubank would have toyed with him like he did Williams. Roided up Benn can knock out career Welterweights below elite level like Algieri but won’t dent an iron chinned MW who has taken punches from George Groves at 168. Anyone who predicted Benn could hurt Eubank either dislikes Junior or just vastly underestimates him.

 

I think that new upward left jab/hook/uppercut hybrid from near hip of Jr would’ve hurt C.Benn early and often, fast from long range like lightning.

 

Probably would’ve punched Conor out of the ring to be honest when he’d open up in mid rounds.

 

My original prediction was that Sims would have been quick with the towel. Similar to Ingle in the Golovkin fight but before any severe damage to Benn. Benn would probably have landed flush at some point with zero effect on Eubank and at that point it would just be a waiting game.

Mind you after the showboating from Eubank against Williams, he might have carried Benn to a longer fight just to have some fun.

 

Glad he didn't, the poor man is trying for a baby....

 

He hasn't. He's got a testosterone butcher.

 

Yeah you’re right. Although by no means fun, I had no doubt he’d make the weight. The bigger issue in my eyes was the rehydration clause which in Hearn’s words was in the region of 10 pounds.

 

There's like a 60+ minute video of that Dr on YouTube talking about PEDs etc.

There's at least a 5 minute stint in it that will really open your eyes.

 

No problem.

 

He's one of the worst interviewers in the sport. The best interviewers in my opinion are Rob Tebbutt and Andi Purewal at iD Boxing. I don't think they'll receive the IFL luxury though of a sit-down with Hearn.

 

Was this the first fight he has been vada tested for or has been for pervious fights also?

 

One of? He is THE WORST. Watch his interviews with anyone with a single braincell (Adam Booth). He gets left standing.

 

And to think that we should now be discussing angling and sending useful private messages to each other!
