VADA testung not being agreed was enough for the Buatsi/Pascal fight to get binned. A failed VADA test and this one goes ahead... Anyone that still thinks Hearn is 'good for boxing' needs to have a good strong look in the mirror.
Failed test was at the end of August. Here we are on 5th October with the B sample still not having been requested. That says everything. They’ll get the fight done and then it’ll be brushed away like Whyte’s B sample v Rivas.
If boxing wasn’t such a “niche” sport (not much coverage in the mainstream media outside of the big fights) this would be seen as a scandal. As it stands the fight goes ahead basically because it can.
Remember just two years ago loads were saying he wouldn't even win an area title. Now he's on the radar of the likes of Ennis, Ortiz, Thurman etc. I guess we know now how he managed that miraculous transformation then.
Surely now all the online media outlets should be grilling Hearn on this. Everyone knows all boxers do PEDS. So when they do get caught, they should get absolutely ripped to shreds for a) being stupid enough to get caught and b) for cheating and therefore putting the other fighters health at risk. No one should hold back on this cheating scum now that he's tested positive.
A few fighters I'm certain are/Were clean are the Smith Bro's, David Price, Dave Allen, Joe Joyce but it is far too rampant in the sport. Needs cleaning up because fighters are putting their lives on the line in the ring.
