Joan Guzman tests positive for banned substance.

what a piece of **** guzman is the guy does'nt even want to be a boxer

 

Or, he's been trying to make weight, but the fluids he consumes goes right to rehydrating his already fatigued and dehydrated body. And in order to put some god damned food on the table for his children, is to make weight.. and can't do it without a diuretic.

I'm not supporting him in taking a banned substance, but it's certainly not beyond the grasp of imagination WHY he'd do it.

 

it's his job and he has IMMENSE talent. i agree: i dont like what he's doing but i understand

 

Guzman is a joke. Should have his license revoked for multiple violations

 

Biggest waste of talent in years

 

What happens now?

 

Put some food on your table by either
A) Fighting at a weight more natural to you (where you don't have to take drugs, and still can't get near the weight)
B) Train HARD to get to that weight!

I'm all for feeding your kids, but have some respect for your opponents with it, and a little pride for yourself. Don't agree to a weight you can't make in a million years! Fight in your weight class, and earn $ there

 

Or maybe instead of taking his training seriously he'd rather just half-ass it and try to make weight using a diuretic instead of killing himself like his opponent is probably doing.

 

Oh stop with the kids and the food bull**** , nobody is starving to death :tired

This is boxing if he cant make weight he needs to go to a weight class that suits him there is a weight class for any sized boxer

How many times before these guys get s suspension that would show them

 

Came in 9 pounds over ?

Dude didnt even step on a scale i cant imagine a boxer being that much over and still showing up

ridiculous !

 

F Guzman. Not a top 50 fighter. Move up to 154, *****.

 

His training is outdated for this to keep happening where he struggles to make the limit. His trainers are likely doing stupid **** like making him sweat in a sauna and ride a stationary bike wearing a sweatsuit

Theres no reason for this other than ineptitude or him just being ****ing lazy

 

:dealyou're training ends before the weigh in. if you aren't ready to weigh the limit, you sure as **** ain't ready to fight

 

I don't think he is just lazy, honestly. I criticized him in the past for not making weight but I think he has some physical issues which are stopping him. Maybe he's had too many years of draining and his body just can't do it any more? Either way, I don't think it's fair to be too harsh on him because we know he's put in the hours to make weight and, for whatever reason, it just isn't working. If he was just lazy, sure, he'd deserve criticism but I don't think he is.

 

Regardless the issue he knows well in advance whether he can make it or not why the hell step on a scales 9lbs overweight

you might as well claim injury
