    You reckon Calum Smith is clean? The way he cut weight was a bit suspect

    One question I'd like know the answer to is whether or not the different drug testing organisations test at the same time or whether the same sample is given to them both? Likely not, which means he could fail for VADA one week and pass one for British Anti-doping the next.

    If this was the end of August, why wasn't the B sample requested straight away?

    Fully expecting some BS excuse like Benn's Mrs was taking Clomid to boost her fertility as they're trying for a child, and it must have accidentally got in his system.

    It will be interesting to see if the usual suspects when it comes to calling out drug/ped cheats such as Paul Smith Jnr and Bellend Bellew are vocal now about Benn's test.

    My guess is Bellend Bellew will find a few ways to skirt around this issue and avoid calling him out as a drug cheat even though when it's anyone else, he can't help piping up and sticking his nose in where it's not wanted.

    He was struggling towards the end but I think it was apparent in his later performances as SMW he was lacking energy. Although it did look too much at the weigh in's it's not out of the realm of possibility for a drain. Looks much healthier at Light Heavy.

    How does that work exactly, because surely no one would send it off, and no one would "fail". Is it that the opposite side are notified of a failed a-sample and they're the ones who have to request the b-sample?

    This is hilarious. Fat Sam Jones jumping on the Matchroom wagon and moaning that it's the first reporting Sky have done on the fight.

    Bellew nowhere to be seen.

    Hearn squirming more than an octopus in a tsunami.

    Notice that Eubank is exhibiting no signs or symptoms of struggling to make the weight. He seems cool and laid back and is looking and acting as normal. Either cutting the weight is easy for him or he's not making weight. Something doesn't seem right.
