Sr is egomaniac and although comes across quite harmless and funny he's actually a hindrance to his sons career, I realized that when he was swanning around Jr's corner posing when he really should've been helping his son seeing as he's such a concerned father

If the stories are true Snr seems to be suffering some mental health issues recently which might explain some of his comments

Tbh i think Eubank Sr has long suffered from mental health issues, the way he carries on with that sheriff badge, he was on Celebrity MasterChef a few weeks ago and although he was no different than he's ever been since I've ever known him he's clearly not a well man, he's carried on a charade for so long I doubt he knows who he actually is, he actually criticised Jr for being influenced by the flash Mayweather and instead told him he should be looking at Ali and Tyson for inspiration ffs, a serial cheat and a convicted rapist😭

WOW ,, IF True surely its got to be a life ban for him and a big ban for others involved ,,, wheres this sprung from do you know ,,, And if its true and the BBBC knew about it , its time the govt stepped in and started to control it all.... This sort of thing is worth massive money people gamble on clean athletes winning or losing and were not talking peanuts either

Just read the report ,, apparantly Warren says people knew about the other failed test ,,, So inside a year he's refused to sign up stating mere failure of paperwork signed , been reinstated in rankings , and failed TWO DRUG TESTS ,, and still got the audacity to claim he's clean , LIFE BAN for him and 5-10 years for his coach .

when he's gone on IFL and said i don't give a rats arse what people think , i've got my porche , nice house , money and Edidie and my team look after me .

He really meant it did'ntr he

3/3 ban for a first offence seems reasonable. If he can cast doubt on it being intentional (don’t know anything about this second test??)

Ban 3 years into the future.

And last 3 years of wins become no contest.

Can’t let people build a record juicing then take a couple year ban, use it to heal all there niggling little injury’s and have a nice break, then get right back into it fresh after a tuneup or 2.

Well, the whispers were probably right as usual.

I didn't buy the 'clerical error' about his testing paperwork not being submitted - the guy is in a very experienced and professional team. :doh:

I still think the Promoters should have pulled the plug on the show as soon as the drug test was failed but it is interesting to hear details of the BBBC's approach.

Benn deserves he book chucked at him if this is true but who's covered this up? Maybe Algieri and Van Heerden can sue and finish off the wretched BBBC

Sammy Vargas KO seemed dodgy at the time but then going the distance with Granados before wiping out Algieri and van Heerden suggests a change in approach.

Gareth A Davies alluded to this.

The lack of any robust response from Hearn or Benn is very telling.

How Hearn can say "We didnt keep this from anyone" is a new low given that was absolutely the plan.

We aint seeing Benn in a ring for a long time, one way or another.

That Vargas KO was bullshit. Daft stoppage.

Ref probably has never seen Vargas fight before.

Not at all. It's good to get the full picture. And, as I have said elsewhere, I think Hearn should have pulled the plug on the show as soon as the drug test was failed. I also think the rehydration clause put in Eubank Jnrs contract was absolutely appalling.

If this is true …

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sport ... doubt.html

Many of you have asked the question about how many previous fights have taken place with “adverse” samples having taken place.

I completely dismissed the question as being over the top … I thought surely this cannot happen in boxing.

I have written previously theres more to come out.

Yet another sad day for boxing

someone mentioned Algieri the other say, have i remembered it wrong or had he never been stopped before Benn? i mean Pac bounced him off the canvas like a basketball but i didn't think he stopped him? maybe Spence did? fvck, did he even fight spence (or was that Van Heerden? he fought and stopped a south african dude, i do remember that much)? wtf C-P.
