I was wandering in to the next door Cineworld as folk were leaving the ice rink, wondered what was on. Gutted I missed this. Is there any more future shows in Dundee in the pipeline?
Yes he failed it for nandrolene and according to the doctor his levels were off the scale- would need to have been using them for about a year to get such a high reading. Out of order, particularly as he broke a Polish lad's jaw in 3 places in the semis and he has never fought again. Cheating in boxing is life threatening, absolutely disgusting behaviour.
Really,thats not good .how old was he ? It might just be that he made a mistake or been niave ... im sure hes learnt his lesson ...
He is 30 I think, he had been around a few gyms and the season before he was boxing at middleweight. He came back to the Scottish championships boxing at heavyweight!!! I'm sure he knew what he was doing because he would have been 27-28 at the time.
Yeah thats right he ruined jacki kubas who was a good lad never boxed again, he also beat one of my mates in a club show month before my pals face was bust and said he was strong as an ox, been on that sk white coller **** now hes pro bad crack,
I don't know the full in and outs of what happened with Davie but end of the day people make mistakes regardless of age. He was granted a pro license so deserves a 2nd chance of he does indeed box again. I'm pretty sure he will be closely monitored. On a lighter note has no one heard that everyone in Dundee is as strong as OX's its cause we are all inbred haha. It looks like the next show may be November.
Maybe I was being a little OTT with saying he shouldnt have been allowed to turn pro, but he better be kept an eye on.
david i wonder if you would have the same attitude regards drug cheats if it was your brothers career that was destroyed
I am one of the harshest people on drugs cheat but in honesty how much extra would it have given him a couple or percent. It's horrible for anyone's career to be ended but surely this would have still more than likely happened if there wasn't a substance involved. There is so much drug cheating in sport and alot of the time it is unrecognisable. I just feel anyone deserves a 2nd chance
Are you going to give Billy another chance David ? is your brother our again ,before November,also is there any videos of the fight ?
I don't mind Billy to be honest. Just thought it was out of order to do that after being Ronnie's trainer for a short period. He's still a very very good trainer just his ego lets him down. Hopefully Ronnie will be out before then nothing as of yet but he would like to fight. Anyone got any offers I'm sure he will be up for it. What about on the prospect show ha
And to say its not that bad and it didnt happen because of cheating is outright wrong. Steroids make a huge difference IMO.
