So make it apparent and put all these youtube/ufc wasters out of the sport. Make paul the example, the sacrificial lamb.

I know you don't mean it, no one wants another death in the ring. The sport is under enough pressure already. It'll always attract undesirables, Liston made a career out of being a very questionable sort. What gets headlines, Bruno going down the childrens ward again or both camps in a bust up with shots thrown and landed by the headliners. It's a sad state of affairs when the essence of the competition has been corrupted into the frankenstein it is now.

The sport is done, eaten by capitalism on a professional level by the saudi crap, the youtube crap and the ufc crap. If that little blert paul is reduced to a vegetable the world will be a better place for it. What used to be one of the most accepting places on the planet in an amateur boxing gym have now been turned into right wing nasty conspiracy theory heavy hellholes by folk who have been eaten up by the internet and various awful podcasts and spat out the other side.

I can't speak for that, but I can imagine the disaffected preyed upon, especially when they are suffering and need a focus to go for. I can't blame some you tube gobchite for the machinations of the wealthiest and most powerful. The boxing game has always appealed to the angry and near destitute, they're believers much sooner, lost it all already, so when the world doesn't care... why not.

Joseph Parker looking at a potential 2 year ban for failing a drug test on the day of the Wardley fight. For cocaine though as opposed to doping.

Will have kissed a model full of the stuff (see also one of the ring girls) or will claim a drinks spiked. Ah, it's not a renown testing agency, it's Vada, so will claim tainted samples. He's still worth to much money to be on the scrap heap.
 

Final weigh in tomorrow morning. Within a couple of lb's of one another now, neither can rehydrate more than 10 lb's from here before the final weigh in.
Eubank always is and will be the heavier rangier man. Benn will fight gamely but he's fighting uphill vs a heavier man. It'll go the same way 8 bouts in 10.

Still my favourite British boxer of all time. And it's not even close.
