If it was AJ fighting Stiverne it would be a thread full of abuse about how Eddie is robbing the fans in another mis match
This isnt guna be good. Back to the late 90,s early 2000,s here with fat Americans with no plan, will to win or motivation going over to Germany or Eastern Europe for a beating and a cheque. But then Povetkin has seemed to have lost a chunk of stamina of late, probably to do with worlds eyes beig on Russia and its state sponsered PED culture. Hes been pumped with gallons of the stuff over the years. Not saying Stiverne has a chance just saying it may be poor from both of them. But ofcourse its in Russia where they still blatently get away with doping.
Stiverne doesn't look good. Even more confident he'll get outworked and decisioned. I did enjoy his tactic of trash-talking by saying his positive PED test wasn't as serious as Povetkin's. That's really scraping the barrell.
Just like American Olympic doctor Exum Wade exposed American PED culture in the 80's and 90's where the Olympic Committee allowed American athletes who tested positive to compete in sporting events. Hundreds of pages of documentation was reported by Exum Wade revealing the scope of PED abuse among American athletes, and to make it worst the WADA and USADA did not exist until 1999-2001, so the amount of PED abuse was rampant. Carl Lewis himself admitted he was among hundreds of athletes that got a pass for PED usage among America's elite track and field competitors by the American Olympic committee. These WADA allegations against Russia are politically motivated, considering they have this imaginary list of 1000 athletes from 2011 to 2015 that benefited from corrupt Bribery, paying off RUSADA to hide drug tests, yet they dont want to reveal the names, which is a sign of lying and defamation. Povetkin was not part of this bribery pool, over 80 percent of the athletes that benefited from this corruption were Track and field, swimmimg and weightlifting competitors, boxing was hardly on that list. A large chunk of these athletes that participated in this bribery scandal are not even well known. So where is Povetkin mentioned on the list? How many of these 1000 athletes are actually well known? How many famous Russian athletes were on that list from 2011 to 2015 that benefited from corruption? When did the NFL finally ban Human Growth hormones? Get educated on the subject before spewing nonsense.
Povetkin must be the most overrated fighter on this board ever, I don't get it?! Povetkin is just a blown up cruiserweight that struggled with Marco Huck! Povetkin is way too under sized to compete with the top heavyweights. If Stiverne comes in decent shape and survives the first 6 rds he most likely wins a dec.
Ben Johnson, who knew a thing or two about PEDs (well his coaches did), how to cycle them, and when to stop prior to competition got sloppy at the 1988 Olympics? I don't think so. In fact, Johnson doesn't deny taking steroids in the lead up to the games just not the one he was found positive for, Stanozolol. And prior to Soul, Carl Lewis had a clear fail for a masking agent mysteriously lost by US testers. The whole drug testing industry is a joke and I take everything regarding WADA with a huge pinch of salt.
I sampled the best your country had to offer many times. And ive never even stepped foot in the place.
