This is highly disappointing. It was a great fight and Jones fought hard, now we know why.

Isn't that a drug that hides other drugs or helps you lose weight?Quote:

fighters have nobody to blame but themselves for allowing unknown substance into their body but at the same time, I think too much is made out of all this drug stuff..
People make it seem like drug makes a better fighter but it really doesn't .. Skills win fights, not drugs..
Vargas was juiced to shit when he fought Oscar and did that help him?
Guillermo Jones beat Lebedev because he's simply a better fighter.. Drugs aint got nothing to do with it..
He took some shit to lose weight. Big deal
Nah, it's just used to cut weight as far as I know. Onions are a powerful diuretic;). If he couldn't make the weight without something banned then rules are rules, but I just don't think it's a big deal in this case. We're talking about a 40 year old blown up welterweight, if he needs help cutting weight to make 200 pounds at present, he's hardly getting the most out of his body in the first place. Plus Ledbedev is shit, let him fight a grizzly bear on A side meth for all I care!Quote:

It can be used as a masking agent for PEDs and it can be used to cut weight which most likely was the case with Love and Chavez Jr since they have trouble making weight, in this case I'm thinking masking agent for PEDs since the weight he started.
Looks like Jones and Don King have something in common , guess what. Diuretics are banned for a reason.
Hmm, did you watch the fight? Jones wasnt the better fighter. Lebedev was ahead and landing the better shots. Jones was a freak in that fight. Taking shot after shot and not causing him any trouble at all and Lebedev is a decent puncher. I thought something was fishy right away after the fight. If he was on drugs, thats the only reason he won that fight. Drugs dont improve skill, but they improve strenght and stamina which was clearly the edge he had in that fight. At 40, that should not have been the case.Quote:
