His post fight urine test came back positive for weed. Maybe he was smoking right before the fight, that's why he looked so bad;D It's obvious he's not taking boxing that serious anymore.
Joel Casamayor tests positive for marijuana following loss - ESPN
Why not? His career is over anyway.Quote:

I think he got the munchies in between rounds;D
WTF? Ganja before a fight?
Casamayor is one of the best Cubans to ever do it along with Kid Gavilian..
Id be surprised if Gamboa can accomplish as much as Casa has..
I can't imagine smoking weed before a fight, i'm pretty sure I wouldn't feel much like fighting, that's for sure.:rolleyes:Quote:

hell Tyson tested positive for weed when he fought Golota
That surprises me, I've always thought of Tyson being the responsible type.Quote:

Yup, UNLESS you cut your hairQuote:

I wonder what kind of reefer Casa smokes, I would imagine he gets some of that really good stuff. :rasta:
I don't smoke pot, but I don't see it as a big deal and it's ridiculous that a fighter would have his purse withheld because he smoked a fucking joint a month ago. It's certainly not going to enhance anybodies performance.Quote:

I agree, that it's ridiculous, but however fucked up it is, it's the rules, and you really don't know how long ago it was when he smoked the reefer, it could have been a few days before the fight. Stupid move by Casa, but I hope they don't withhold his purse.Quote:

All those commas gave me flashbacks of Trainer Monkey. Are you in the "buis"?Quote:

I don't disagree with what you say, I just think it's a stupid rule. Taking someone's money over it is just downright slimy.
I don't think there is an exact blueprint on how herb effects as a whole, not the same across the board. It def is something that alters the senses etc but not all pot heads have cheeto stained forearms and sit on the couch all day.
On enhancing I have no clue in regards to boxing but I've found, in the past, that it did in fact highten awareness and there was nothing like puffing up and then rolling on the sheets with a girly. Horns you up something fierce yeh. Used to throw down like a scene outta Quest for fire.
Yes Tyson got caught for the same offence as well when he fought against Golata in 2000. Tyson beat him in 2 rounds busted up Andrew’s skull if I remember rightly. There is a link between marijuana and mental illness so it should not be taken lightly.
Blame my high school sweetheart for all the commas, she has a masters degree in english, and told me I didn't use enough commas. :-\Quote:

We got together a few years ago, after sending each other e-mails for about 6 months, we hadn't seen each other for 40+ years. :cool:
Did anyone see the documentary about Kassim Ouma called Kassim The Dream? It shows him smoking weed while training for his fight with Taylor, and he talks about smoking it all the time, so how the hell does he pass his tests? :headscratch:
I have seen people blame it on second-hand smoke.Quote:

So does that mean he doesn't get paid? And hell ya the top boxers have been known to smoke bud. You gotta be a damn fool to think these guys don't.
