He should of pulled the show ? ….he did pull the show
Risk the life of CEJ ? ….. the fighter choose to step through the ring ropes …

You definitely either work for DAZN or are just trolling us

The nonsense spouted about a "High Court injunction" is utter garbage. Nothing was filed with the Court - we aren't even talking about whether there was an injunctive case pending - they didn't even file for the right to have to have a hearing.

Benn failed a drug test. That makes the bout ineligible to be sanctioned by the BBBC as it voids all of their insurance policies, and arguably makes it a criminal event - punching another human being is an offence.

I strongly suspect that Hearn will back down. I can't see any upside in him becoming litigious - as an aggressive lawyer myself I can't see any upside from it - the Board don't have the resources to pay for Matchroom's losses from this cancellation (and to be clear I don't think they are liable for it), so he has no net positive outcome - and in evidence he will have to answer a court about the drug status of Benn, which I assume, the Board's lawyer will then turn into a broader question about the the status of more of his fighters.

Perhaps the best outcome is a clear protocol about drug testing.

golden_balls wrote: ↑06 Oct 2022, 14:27 Froch also said that it was a voluntary drug test (Bunce added that they had to pay £34,000 for) and why would he do a voluntary drug test if he was doping.

golden_balls wrote: ↑06 Oct 2022, 14:34 Froch just said about Benn: “I just don’t see what he’s got to gain from this.”

Much discussion on how it’s just traces and there are off-the-shelf drinks that could have this anti-man boob stuff in it. How we’ll be sitting here in 6 weeks after finding out how it was all an honest mistake.

Bunce’s voice raising now to an crescendo. he’s excited about how big the fight will be when it does happen. STADIUM FIGHT in the summer

My god. Again, I didn’t think either of them could sink any lower in my estimation on their punditry
