■ GUZMAN FLUNKS TEST -- Dominican junior welterweight Joan Guzman tested positive for Furosemide, a diuretic banned in Nevada, after his second-round technical knockout over Jason Davis on Dec. 11 at the MGM Grand.
His status will be addressed by the Nevada Athletic Commission this month.
Guzman did not make the 140-pound limit for the fight, coming in 4½ pounds too heavy. In his previous fight in Las Vegas, March 27 against Ali Funeka for the vacant IBF lightweight title, he came in 9 pounds over the 135-pound limit.
Coincidentally, Funeka tested positive for Furosemide after that fight, drawing a nine-month suspension by the NAC.
Joan Guzman Fails Post Drug Test, Trouble is Ahead - Boxing News
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, junior welterweight contender Joan Guzman has Tested POSITIVE for Furosemide, a Diuretic BANNED in Nevada.
According to the article the Dominican tested positive after his fight versus Jason Davis on the Amir Khan-Marcos Maidana undercard this past December. Both Guzman and Davis were over the agreed upon 141 limit for the fight.
Perhaps Guzman took a page from lightweight contender Ali Funeka. You may recall that Guzman defeated Funeka this past March in the rematch of their controversial but lost the IBF title that was at stake prior to the bout when he weighed in 9 pounds over the 135 pound limit. Funeka received a 9 month suspension from the Nevada State Atheletic Commission after the bout for testing positive for the same diuretic, Furosemide.
The NSAC will determine Guzman's fate later this month.
