*** The Official Boxing Thread ***Do Not Discuss Illegal Streams

The idea that it might have been a false positive is more than contradicted by all the secrecy. They chose to withold the knowledge of the failed drug test from his ******* opponent who's got their health, life on the line. Extremely quiet between a few people before, during and after the fight, and were set to stay totally silent about it until Thomas Hauser over at Boxingscene.com broke the story and then all of a sudden Whyte & co are scrambling... maybe we'll get some proper explanations sometime, but I won't hold my breath.

Top and bottom is UKAD cleared him to fight, you can’t inform the world that a sample showed abnormal results as everyone and his dog will brand the fighter a cheat when that might not be the case.

I’d like to think if Whyte was dirty he would have been banned.

UKAD stayed silent too, including after the fight - UKAD gave no indication that Whyte was in any trouble until right after Hauser's investigative article was posted..

What do you expect UKAD to do when they find a positive result? Head straight to twitter?

I’ve known clean athletes have false positive results to then be cleared in due course, it just happens sometimes.

Rather than completely enable a fight after one of the fighters tested positive (the apparently clean "B sample" wasn't revealed until 6+ months later for...reasons, and during which Whyte was suspended), fail to inform the opponent, and stay completely silent giving no indication of whether there has even been a failed test before, during and after the fight...until the day they just happened to wake up to see a damning investigative article... (and then Whyte & co were scrambling like cons in front of the cameras, and by scrambling I mean a clear lack of a coherent account, etc...)

I'm asking that UKAD be a bit more sensible than that. Am I being an entitled **** of a boxing fan?
 

For a good while, I thought so much of Whyte. It mainly began after he lost to AJ and I found out he had a shoulder injury in there. Also, after Fury came back and beat those two jobs, and Wilder was doing nothing meaningful either - Whyte's resume was clearly better around then, despite less fame.

But the fact that years ago he took a questionable OTC supplement that was later banned, and now he's taken another supplement that he says contained a commonly used performance-enhancing steroid - yet that supplement doesn't actually contain that illegal steroid...he says it must've been tainted. Combine that with all the garbage from them posted above. I have some much lower-budget (as I'm not a twitter star) bridges for sale too - hit me up.

He does and I hope he gets the win tonight, plus i dont think Ruiz is all that either ...parker beat him and parker is a run around the ring fighter , and at 20+stone can ruiz last if the fight goes to later rounds ?

Did you score the Ruiz-Parker fight? Parker himself admitted that the fight was so close that if it were in the US (instead of NZ) the decision likely would've went to Ruiz, and Parker even said he wouldn't have protested that. Parker and his trainer also did great homework on Ruiz and they stuck to a strict plan (that Parker also said was very hard to maintain). Also, a significant amount of people did score the fight for Ruiz or had it a draw.

Ruiz has superior skills generally than AJ, and on that night he had much more fight in him. Let's see who can make the better adjustments today.

He should be fine since he's used to fighting with that weight, i.e. his stamina is strong with that amount of weight (stronger than AJ's last time round). AJ on the other hand has lost a bit of muscle, and his muscle memory and such might suffer and throw him off - or not. We'll see.

Well AJ aint knocking him out, Ruiz's chin is probably the best out there currently. So unless a 'fix' is in and they go for a trilogy which AJ seems to have done a 180 on recently. I seem to recall him saying it would never happen if he beat him this time round.

Trust me, AJ could KO any human on the planet with either hand. He could probably knock out most animals.
