Janibek vs sheeraz

Should be interesting. Janibek hasn't been fully tested yet so Sheeraz would be a good jump in opposition. Curious to see how well he carries his power up to 168.

Still upset with the fact that we didn't get to see how Janibek would have looked against Erislandy Lara.

 

Two of the most overrated fighters will finally duke it out to see who is less of a hype job.

 

Can everyone calm it down with the whole "Janibek is a drug cheat" schtick btw? He got popped for meldonium ffs. Do people know what the performance enhancing effects of meldonium are? Because the answer is diddly squat. It has a marginal benefit for recovery but roughly the same amount as plenty of other over-the-counter medications which aren't tested for. Meldonium being added to the VADA banned substance list was massively controversial at the time both because of how plenty of doctors argued it had ostensibly no performance enhancing effects for athletes and because its banning was politically motivated as a way to disqualify Russian and Central Eurasian athletes because meldonium is hugely popular in that part of the world and can linger in the system for months. I'm all in favour of testing boxers and athletes in all sports, but I do think it's a bit silly that everyone is making a big stink about a drug which has scarcely any benefits.

 

Busted for ped. Takes a little vacation. Move up and gets title shot.

Ped pays.

 

Sheeraz will give up the belt and fight someone else

 

Sheer ass vacates, story at eleven.

 

Janibek is kinda limited on the inside, and Sheeraz is kinda underrated in this domain. Also, I doubt Janibek´s power will carry up to 168, thus I expect him to win via decision.
Sheeraz can drag this into a phonebooth battle, and make it competitive, but I don´t see him winning this one.

Also, **** the WBO for this BS.

 

Must be nice getting a ban without any real repercussions

 

Jacob Bank deserves his Mandatory Shot, Hamzah Sheeraz deserves to defend against a clean athlete, and has been welcoming of defending against Bank who has earned his shot.

The roid cheat should serve his ban and then be made to work his way up at 168.

Being a “first-time offender, with an otherwise impeccable personal and professional record” does not earn you the right to leap-frog over the actual deserving contenders nor a Title Shot up a weight-class which you have never competed in.

The WBO is spouting absolute bull****. Terrible look for the sport, organization and unfair to every clean athlete involved.
