Very true mate, all the local commissions/orgs can rule is a no-contest which in it's own way is a shame - with drug cheats you'ld want to see them stripped of their il-gotten gains like they do in the olympics: hand back the medal we're giving it to the next in line!
Forget the secong fight have a look at the first fight he jumped from light to welter looking bigger stronger than ever. He also struggled with weight. how do i know? I stayed in the same hotel a mosley which had a large sauna.The guy was ripped with help
Just out of interest Phil, do you score 10-10 rounds very often? I had Mosley ahead by a point but round 9 the last 2 could have gone either way imo.
Shitbag must have known it was preformance enhancing juice he was jacking into his own gut FFS who walks around sticking needles in their body for fun apart from Junkies , Drug cheats and those mosher ****s ? , this **** is what really pisses me off in sport in general but in the best sport there is it outrages me , Its the hight of stupidity and dangerous to boot .
Bentchasis, no I don't it is a cardinal sin of officiating! As once was said to my good friend Pat Russell when he was first starting out by his mentor "You mean those boys fought their arse off for 3 minutes and you can't make up your ****ing mind?" There should always be a way to split the two lads, even rounds mean you either haven't paid attention or are a fence sitter IMO :nut
i had the rematch a draw. at the end of the day how much money did Mosley make thanks to those drugs? maybe millions upon millions. Its morally wrong but i can see why he did it
"Its morally wrong but i can see why he did it" true for many things Philla, but can't see how this won't come back to bite him in the arse
I think the most disgusting thing is that he puts his opponent's life further at risk in a very dangerous sport. WAR MARGARITO...
haha, sounds like my old man. I differ slightly. Although Im in favour of distinguishing a winner as often as possible, there are simply rounds that both fighter exhibits equal reasons to win or lose. Boxing scoring is so subjective and some judges are better than others, but I get frustrated when guys lose fights just because judges won't give equal credit when called for purely to avoid looking like a dill or a fence sitter.
But quite honestly mate, there are very, very few times when you would not be able to separate the two fighters. For example both fighters very rarely land the same amount of punches, both fighters very rarely throw the same amount of punches in a round. Fighters very rarely both force the fight with equal success. As I said before, you should nearly always be able to separate them. Worse case I saw was something like 5 even rounds out of 12 in a 12 round fight! can't tell me that bloke didn't have splinters in his arse!
exactly Josey, how can he play dumb when for a start he was injecting the ****ing stuff? It's not like it was just some harmless protein powder he was mixing with water and drinking, I mean, FFS, if you're INJECTING **** into your body you'd make it your business to know exactly what it is, no? He's obviously an intelligent man, yet here he is essentially saying "uh, yeah, I done injected that **** in both sides of my belly button 20 times cuz the man said it wuz safe"...it just doesn't wash I'm afraid.
If all of the fighters in the world of boxing were dutifuly drug tested, and the test results exposed factually, the world of boxing would be embarassed. The Olympic games have been the second most pathetically tested business, and the horse racing industry is 3rd to the aforementioned. MONEY will cover any base. I certainly hope this causes arguement from many others towards me... fighters have been taking drugs for a long time. Olympians for longer, horses have been fed drugs eternally.. If anyone is silly enough to assume the major names in the fight game of late..70s onwards are all clean, then, take a step back, wipe the tears away and be prepared to accept the horrible truth when exposed. Its a money business.... dont be fooled.
I don't think anyone believes they were all clean, certainly I don't. But give me the likes of Duran and Leonard who snorted their fair share of coke than the likes of Jones and Mosley.
Mate.. I tend to agree.... Id rather see a couple of men fighting without performance enhancing drugs, recreational drugs are predominantly "downers".......... there is a difference... although, legitimate sport is without legitimacy when the blood streams can be questioned.
Absolutely, but Duran and Leonard knew when it was time to stop partying and start training, well most of the time anyway! For mine, Mosley's image along with Jones, Vargas and James Toney's has been tarnished irreparably. If anyone for one second buys his bull**** of "I didn't know what I was injecting" then they are beyond help. They're professional athletes that analyse EVERYTHING that goes into their bodies. Hold you hand up Shane and admit you're a ****in cheat. Most fans would have more respect for you if you did...
