That's ok then, no need to ban him for 2 years.

He was caught, ban him.

His promoter is basically trying to justify it saying he's not a cheat and that he stopped taking the substance as soon as it came on to the banned list. Says he's suing Al Haymon, Wilder and Dan Rafael for some reason.

It went on the list Jan 1st, yet was still in his system April 27th?

Just a shame Price doesn't have the jaw to go anywhere.

It's his jab not the chin that's his problem. I said years ago that he would never ever do anything in boxing. He couldn't keep a fat journeyman like McDermott off him during the brief period they fought. He managed to knock him out but if you can't keep a plodder like that off you with the jab when your 6ft 9 then you're going nowhere. At his height and level of power it shouldn't really matter what his chin is like- look at Wlad.

Vargas is good, very good even, not sure I would say he was one of the top welterweights around though as he's never really been a big puncher even at 140, and the only real elite level fighter he's been in with was Tim Bradley and he lost that fight pretty conclusively (ridiculous finish aside). I'd expect Brook to win fairly comfortably as well. In fairness it is definitely a good step up for Brook and Eddie Hearn (or Marshmallo as he posts on here) from what he's been fighting recently, although the same could be said if he was going in with my postie.

Confirmed that pros will be allowed to compete in Olympics....surely that's crazy dangerous? ?

It's an absolutely ridiculous decision. Who benefits from it? The up and coming amateurs have less chance of winning it, so less chance of gaining endorsements and top coaches to develop when they turn pro. The only pro's that are likely to win it are elite level, so have already won (or are pretty close to winning) world titles and the big money and exposure that goes with that, so it isn't of any real benefit to them, and it's not really going to provide extra exposure for the olympics, cause it's the fucking olympics. Ridiculous decision. Edited by J_Stewart

With respect to the professionals allowed to qualify to compete in the Olympics, this had to come. Why would they allow pros to compete in every other event but make boxing different?

 

How do Britain select their Olympic team? Is it not from the ABA`s so if this is still the case no pro could qualify for British team anyway, under current criteria

Because someone could get their head smashed in
