Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Agree that this is posturing by the NSAC. Its a good boy act to seem impartial after the f*uckery was laid at their feet last time because of the crooked judge and GGG is so vocal about it now. So they're trying to disconnect themselves from controversy this time because being involved in too many controversies will probably get them investigated (Probably under the RICO act because its so broad). So they suspend Canelo with a side note to keep training as usual and all will go as planned once the hoopla dies down. The upcoming (insert inflated number here) tests will all come back clean and then Canelo will be cleared and the fight will go on. GBP will try to capitalize on the controversy in the mean time to put butts in seats after watching Bob Arum. If not, at least battle the negative publicity with positive publicity.
Ive never seen team GGG this vocal but one thing i did find interesting is that Abel Sanchez, revealed the Canelos trainers used to be butchers. That combined with the statement from Roberto Garcia that Canelo wouldn't be getting his meat from some questionable source like a poor fighter might have to, kind of raises my suspicions even further. I personally don't see GGG knocking Canelo out this time and putting all the big drama to bed. He'd have done it last time after waiting so long for the fight and then being bent over in the disparity between rematch clauses (Canelo gets a rematch if he lost but GGG didn't). That should have been enough to knock the freckles off that kid . Maybe he'll have more of an opportunity this time with Canelo having to take more chances to do enough work to win rounds, but I think everyone since Jacobs knows weight bullying is the key to countering GGG's power. Would rather seen a Saunders unification and then retirement.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
