How much testing was done?

I mean I don’t wanna accuse him.

But he was relentless.

He didn’t stop throwing.

He threw record punches.. from the get go.

I hope he doesn’t piss hot.

We know it was for the WBC so both have to be enrolled in CBP.

rodriguez threw 1087, so 90 per round. that is high but hardly unprecedented.

arreola at hw threw 1125 vs kownacki. paul williams at 154/160 used to throw 100 punches a round. billy zepeda averaged about 120 per round vs jo jo diaz at 135.

rodriguez is just a wee fellow too, doesnt have as much mass to move

I don’t know exactly how to explain it, but Rod was boxing like a man on the juice.

Galal fought bravely. Rodriguez must have been on good gear to go like that. But that's top level boxing.

32 is pretty ancient for a flyweight. Gal needs to rest and get back on the horse fast. Likelable guy, hope he makes some money.

Little money to be made at the lighter weights

Was matter of time…

No contest the right. Galal is still undefeated.

Pretty obvious with his engine. Even other posters pointed it out in the round topic

That’s bad, he might have ruined another man’s life with that 45 minute beat down, not much difference from loaded gloves here.

Interesting that quite few people could see that he was on the gear, which belies the theory that 90% of fighters are on it. Otherwise they’d all look like that… Maybe not then..

There's no taking back the beating Yafai took, just like David Price had his career ruined by drug cheats

What happens when a fighter tests positive after his opponent has died? Because it’s only a matter of time before that horrific scenario. Pedro Rodriguez from Mexico died after a 6 rounder on Saturday night.

As much as I love Mexican fighters it's getting to the stage where I'm assuming they're all on it when they come to the 🇬🇧

I’m gutted for Yafai. I don’t think he’ll ever be the same after the beating he took.

I wish his corner pulled him out but he (understandably) thought a 32 year old couldn’t keep that kind of performance up.

I genuinely think prison is the only way to stop this.

Countries need to make it a criminal offence. It was how doping in French cycling largely came to an end & it’s probably the same reason the French never win the big races.

It would be prudent to surmise that Fast Car will vigorously defend Rodriguez :maybe:
