View this post on Instagram. Yes, VADA does not adjudicate but the rules are clear as day: All prohibited substances are banned at all times. Valdez knew this. Top Rank knew this. Instead, we have the powers that be moving the goalposts and insisting Valdez didn't violate the World Anti-Doping Agency WADA rules which don't ban stimulants out of competition.
And we also have another black eye for boxing. This is much bigger than just one fight. Baby: Real. But it won't be a full knockout. Eventually, this fight will be stopped. If and when this "fight" actually occurs, maybe those inside the ring will realize what everybody seems to already know. Putting year-old Evander Holyfield inside the ring isn't just a joke, it's human malpractice.
Belfort is 14 years younger than the former heavyweight champion who had his last professional bout in and declared bankruptcy one year later. Aside from the financial circumstances, there is absolutely no reason for Holyfield to take any more punishment. Here's a plausible scenario: Belfort realizes Holyfield is in no condition for a fight and pulls his punches.
Or, the former UFC superstar decides to whack Holyfield a few times and the referee, perhaps feeling a bit of guilt for what's happening in front of him, decides to call things off and Belfort records a TKO.
The odds this thing doesn't go the distance should be fairly high. The bigger uncertainty is the manner of stoppage. Parkinson: Real. Warrington still needs to set the record straight. The result of this past fight was not what Warrington hoped for, but after Saturday's technical draw he needs and wants to face Lara again to restore his pride and gain revenge after losing to the Mexican by ninth-round stoppage in February.
Saturday's rematch was just getting going when Lara was left with a nasty cut above his left eye due to an unintentional clash of heads, which prompted the stoppage at the end of two rounds. Afterward, Warrington -- a big crowd-puller in his home city of Leeds -- said: "I need to get the slate cleaned. Warrington will have to wait to face Lara until early in , due to the cut, and he might take an interim fight in the meantime.
But don't expect it to be a big one. Warrington said in the days leading up to fighting Lara for a second time, "Kid Galahad got beat by me and all of a sudden he gets to fight in another eliminator again. Why can't I walk straight into fights with the big names like Gary Russell Jr. But after Saturday's frustrating outcome, Warrington is going to have to do more -- maybe two wins -- to get back into world title contention after that non-event, and he might even reconsider his previous declaration that he is not interested in a rematch with Kid Galahad, his English and Yorkshire rival whom he beat by split decision in June Warrington can't afford any slip-ups, so promoter Eddie Hearn will provide him with a low-risk opponent before going for Lara again.
Unless Warrington lands a world title shot next. But the chances of getting Gary Russell Jr. Navarrete also has a defense planned for next month. What would be easier for Warrington and possibly what he is persuaded to do is face either Galahad or new WBA champion Leigh Wood, who are both from England and promoted by Matchroom.
But Warrington seems driven by revenge, rather than glory, right now. Rothstein: Not real , for now, anyway. And I say this with the caveat that if you consider Dillon Danis a boxer, maybe that changes.
While Paul is clearly taking boxing seriously and has progressed, he might be one fight away from a boxing-first boxer. I say this because this might be the problem with Paul. It's tough to market Paul against a complete no-name in boxing because part of the draw and the allure is people know the guy on the other side of the Paul matchup. If he were to fight a real boxer next, the chances of that fighter being a known quantity are And if it is a fighter who is known, chances are that might be a very bad thing for Paul, who doesn't have the requisite experience level yet.
The best thing for Paul is to continue to work his way up -- find another MMA fighter who would like to step into the ring and get a sweet payday -- and then transition to real fighters.
