There’s zero Clomiphene in these huevos of mine. So, relaxation assured that if you get this particular Friday cash shot of gooey, salty reality, it’ll be 100% freshly-squeezed pure nastiness. This week, we now have feedback/questions concerning Conor Benn, Tim Tszyu- Tony Harrison, and the final word legend vs. legend exhibition.
Conor Benn’s Huevos
Whats up Paul.
Hope all is effectively.
How about sharing your ideas on the entire Connor Benn fiasco. Is VADA too strict？Possibly Canelo did eat unhealthy meat and Oscar Valdez did drink an vitality drink.
Ought to Connor be capable to sue? That could be a yr wage he misplaced, not together with the cash spent on coaching. And what of his fame and psychological stress?
One thing ain’t proper right here.
Thanks

Hey B.C.
I’m going to start out this off by saying that I don’t imagine Conor Benn’s claims of innocence and I’ve zero confidence within the WBC’s “clearing” of the fighter, which was just about fully based mostly on Benn’s declare that he ate an “extreme” quantity of eggs tainted with the banned substance Clomiphene. The second era fighter has reportedly not been cooperating with the UK Anti-Doping Company (UKAD) or the British Boxing Board of Management (BBBofC), which have considerably extra stringent necessities for reinstatement.
There’s only a lot that ain’t proper with Benn’s story. Notably, the actual hormone in query is prohibited to be used in poultry within the UK and it will be cost-prohibitive to make use of that substance in any black market/off-the-books poultry setup (if such issues even exist). Most (if not all) European nations have an analogous ban on the hormone. So, the place, precisely, did he get this huge amount of tainted eggs and why did he pop damaging for that very same banned substance earlier final yr as effectively (in a constructive check that, for some purpose, by no means noticed the sunshine of day till Benn’s second failed check)?
Within the case of Canelo’s constructive check for Clenbuterol in 2018, Alvarez blamed it on ingestion of tainted beef. To again up his case, he supplied receipts for the place he ate the meat and there was a subsequent investigation tracing that meat again to the slaughter home the place it got here from. He additionally submitted himself to a hair follicle check, which confirmed that the quantity of Clenbuterol in his system was in keeping with unintended ingestion through tainted beef.
Benn did none of that and has performed himself belligerently in the direction of the companies that matter in proving his innocence. He, just about actually, has no argument apart from “I ate lots of eggs that had been most likely tainted.”
Within the athletic world, Clomiphene is a recognized doping agent which boosts the extent of testosterone in an athlete. Within the poultry world, a minimum of within the UK and surrounding areas, it’s not in use.
Except another proof pops up, I name BS on Benn and his story.
Tszyu-Harrison / The Final Exhibition (Pacquiao vs. Chavez)
Hello Paul
Hoping you and your loved ones are high-quality…
I used to be speaking with one among my boxing buddies the opposite day and I advised him that it’s my perception that if promoters had been keen on simply producing PPVs by way of exhibitions, Youtubers or cross-sport fights, your most secure guess can be Pacquiao vs Chavez.
I’m not 100% assured on my choose as a result of the PPV markets (if any) have modified from 99-2010 up till right this moment, however on the similar time, I’ve at all times recognized the Mexican-American and Mexican inhabitants dwelling right here in US as those doing a lot of the PPVs.
Chavez will at all times be Chavez, he enjoys combating briefly distance and he was so fashionable throughout the 90s that individuals nonetheless bear in mind him. Pacquiao, was at all times recognized as a Mexican killer despite the fact that he didn’t like figuring out himself as one, so this might in the end be labeled as THE Mexican vs THE Mexican killer.
In case you have Eddie Hearn’s quantity by any likelihood, you may textual content him and inform him this was my concept and I’d solely cost him 1-2% of earnings. I’m not a grasping particular person.
OK, so now coming again to actuality. In my thoughts, I nonetheless bought flashes of Tim Tszyu being knocked down by Terrell Gausha. That entire combat advised me that Tszyu, whereas a superb offensive fighter, remains to be missing protection. We all know {that a} good basic fighter will at all times benefit from these deficiencies, however on the similar time Tony Harrison appears to be well past his finest and he may not have the timing nor velocity to maintain Tszyu off him. What do you suppose?
Finest regards.

Hey Miguel.
As exhibitions go, Pacquiao-Chavez is nearly as good as any. Though Chavez is a comparatively battered 60 years of age and Pacquiao is a younger 44-year-old. And, imagine me, you’d be higher off with Hearn in the event you DIDN’T tie your self to me in any manner, form, or type. I’m not his favourite media member, lol.
Tszyu’s protection is a gaping gap in his recreation and it might be the issue that retains him a high-end regional expertise somewhat than a real world stage participant. Hopefully (for him), he’s been addressing that weak spot. Harrison has all of the instruments to beat Tszyu and, actually, he could want two– the jab and the straight proper hand. Harrison’s age doesn’t fear me all that a lot, however his tendency to coast and a basic lack of urgency in his performances does. I’m really leaning Harrison on this bout, however he’s going to must combat arduous the complete 12. Tszyu gained’t give up coming and, plus, he’s combating at dwelling. Harrison must beat him with out a shadow of a doubt and, possibly, even cease him to win.
