    Stay away from the PEDs this time.

    I expect Andrade rightly demands Vada testing again.

    Honest question chief, why do u back Billie Joe but at the same time hat kid Galahad for failing a test??

    I think Billie Joe should get the kid Galahad treatment.

    Really looking forward to this fight. I don't think it will be fireworks or anything but it's a great match-up.

    I don’t hate Galahad for the drugs thing I hate for other reasons. I’m one of these guys who thinks just about every elite athlete takes drugs so when someone fails a test it doesn’t change the way I think about them tbh.

    Fair do's, I thought it was the cheating was why u hated Galahad.

    I half agree I think a large number are users too but there is defo champs out there and in the past who have always been clean. But I could never back someone who in my eyes is defo a cheat

    Part of the Galahad hate does stem from his ridiculous excuse though lol.

    Was just asking bud, no agenda or that. Although I suppose I'm a bit hypocritical cos as boxing fans we mostly all love watching Pacquiao fights over the years. When he been juiced to the gills through his career!!

    Andrade looks bigger and longer than Saunders but that's just from how they look fighting on telly, I might have that wrong but I'd be shocked if the size and reach advantage isn't with Andrade. I agree, I think it will be a battle of the jabs, so if Andrade has the bigger reach, that should be a big factor in this type of fight.

    Think I'm slightly edging towards Andrade just now but could change my mind.

    Bjs has much smarter feet he will jab from angles, he doesn't need the reach advantage imo. On the gear bjs has the stamina to keep his feet quick throughout the fight which will win him the fight I reckon

    They’re not the same thing though mate. BJS failed to adhere to a contract but officially under WADA and UKAD he failed nothing. Their rules state 12 hours before and after a fight, any other time is fine. Vada carry no weight, they’re significant only this case because it was stipulated in the contract between the two fighters. Galahad was banned for a substance that is banned under WADA and UKAD.

    The lad is a tool. Can’t stand him outside the ring, and the way he treated Martin Murray was a disgrace. However, under the current rules (rightly or wrongly) he hasn’t failed any test with WADA and UKAD. He deserves all the stick he gets and karma has kicked his backside but the drug cheat thing isn’t strictly true.

    I know mate. I wasn't comparing the cases bjs is/was on the gear in my opinion, Galahad is proven.
    I can only say I know kid g was on the gear. And I can only say I'm pretty sure bjs was on it. Just like I can only say I'm think/sure pac man was on the gear

    Imo it's a bull excuse no different to canelos "meat".

    I ain't buying the nasal spray nonsense, he moved to a team that is far more "advanced" in terms of nutrition and "sports science" and then gets found with oxilofrine in his system. A known ped. He could maybe use the ignorance excuse before he went to the ingle setup but not after. Cos if his team are the experts in nutrition and science they will know fine well what medical products to stay away from.
