Yes it is suspicious, either he is very unlucky, or he is sloppy with his regimen. But I don't think Whyte has the kind of money or clout to make drug tests disappear, especially if guys like Fury and Camelot at the peak of their powers can't.
See this is where I'm confused, he must have been cleared in those instances otherwise he would have received some sort of penalty, and likely a lifetime ban for a third offense.
Yeah concussions are no joke, especially concurrent ones. They actually take months to properly recover from. If you ever struggled at school or something like that as a kid then this probably explains a lot of it.
Once he got to the #1 position for the WBC and signed with Matchroom in 2016, then he had the backing of a juggernaut and the weight of their legal team behind him. That's what has happened with Benn: two years of a ban and two failed VADA tests. First, he said he ate 30 eggs; then, he said some other BS, but ultimately, Hearn managed to navigate him out of this blatant PED use and frame it as though it was a witch hunt against him. Obviously, few people believe this, but it was much more high-profile. I think if there were "accidental" contamination going on, then there'd be dozens of UK fighters popping for it every year, and there isn't. I think that's the most telling.
Not too bad in school, just a real quick temp and lots of fights. Learning or comprehension was never an issue.
I think you may be reading too much into this personality thing. I don’t think there is enough evidence. If Itauma is the type of fighter I think he is we shall see a disparity in speed, skills and ring IQ and Whyte though a tough guy has proven to be chinny. Don’t think Itauma is a mental midget but the beauty is we get to find out tomorrow.
Yeah Older Millenials ended up being in that in between generation where everything changed. We got to see the world pre internet and pre cell phones (still use corded phones, VHS, going to Blockbuster, riding bikes and knocking on doors to meet up, etc.), to then growing up with internet in middle school, cell phones in high school, social media in college, and smart phones at the end of college. Younger millennials and Gen Z ended up growing up with all the new technological advances and new social customs.
The stare is frightening. How does anybody see a stare like that and not have some combination of confusion, irritability and squeamishness?
Not that I care for generation labels but that micro generation is apparently called Xennial. People born between the late 1970s and early 1980s (roughly 1977-1983) who experienced a childhood in an analogue world and an adulthood transitioning into the digital age.
I'm also Gen X and sound pretty similar, in many respects. I work with some complex technology at times to do my job, but I'm not really into technology for its own sake, and don't really care about smart-phone apps and gadgets. I do use AI a bit but mainly as a hack to cut work down. 70's and 80's is almost before my time but I prefer the culture from that era, in general. I like Analog media. I'm even one of those people who still have Mike Tyson in my top 5 fighters list.
