Doesn't surprise me at all. The man was a full-fledged Heavyweight that night. He looked bigger than Povetkin, and at least a full division bigger than Lebedev. What's disgusting is that war could've had serious repercussions on Lebedev's life, let alone his career. So, now we get a great fight with a great big asterisk next to it. Disgraceful.
Everyone was surprised how he could look like that and stiill make weight. A lot already suspected something like this :verysad
Jones should be careful setting foot into Russia again. I wouldn't be surprised if they arrested him after what he did to Lebedev.
Everyone is just assuming he is guilty, He has until Aug 5th to decide if he wants to have his B sample tested. It may be possible that jones is being set up by Russian boxing commission. There was a debate right after the fight and Jones wanted to make sure there were 2 samples taken so he could have it tested in the U.S. The Wba will most likely test the second sample in the next few days. If Jones does not want the second test done then I will say he is guilty. I'm just saying the Russians looked bad that night and they know it. This may be a tactic to shine the spotlight off themselves. In the public eye if you are accused you are guilty, and they know that too.
X 2 Sadly, he was praised to no end on these forums during his suspension and after the Holt fight. I would hope Jones receives the same positive reception so posters can be consistent. But I expect them to flip flop on the issue.
The WBA says that if Jones wants to open the second sample he will do it at his own expense. Why they say that. How expensive can a test be ? :huh
WHO says its true..I dont trust russian drug testing one bit..Especially when it is the "Opponent" Who wins..
The WBA stripped him, it was the IBF that did nothing. And for the guy that said he was praised after that probably missed all the "Lamont Cheaterson" threads and posts. Most here look at him as a cheater, wich he is of course. The RUSADA might be shady as hell, there is a B sample and we know soon enough.
