DevdanSanguine: Welp. The excitement of that fight is already gone seeing as the only satisfying result would be if GGG wins. If Canelo wins there will be too much controversy around it so I've already given up on that bout.
They're saying he's bulkier now but that's just ridiculous. He didn't test positive before the last fight but he was already looking bigger than GGG at the weigh in and if you can remember he had to start grabbing all the sports drinks and electrolytes around there afterwards meaning as big as he was, he was actually dehydrated. So if he wasn't cheating to get bulked then why ask if he is now? Are they implying he's been doing it all along but only got caught now?
The part about his gas was really what got me thinking though. He does have gas issues and the steroid he tested positive for helps with that so that's very fishy. Truth is we probably won't ever know for certain. The whole fight scene is messed up to be honest. And like I said for me, the excitement is already gone for this fight. Whatever happens, happens.
They were needle marks on his body and gaining such rapid bulk at such a short time frame without a significant dip in performance is usually rare
Even if we suggest he gained weight the legal route. It was pretty clear he was gassed as the fight went on so if we connect the dots with the exact substance he was found to be on then it pretty much negates the side effects of his weight gain. The contaminated beef just won't fly with me. A pro with Canelo's experience and team cannot stumble on such a mistake so let them not insult our intelligence.
I want to see that fight hold badly. I underestimated Canelo going to that first fight but perhaps I should have considered possible events from all sides. Six weeks to go
Roland17: "Again with Mexican meat? Come on," Golovkin said. "I told you, it's not Mexican meat. This is Canelo. This is his team. This is his promotion. Canelo is cheating. They're using these drugs, and everybody is just trying to pretend it's not happening.
"This guy, he knows. This is not his first day in boxing. He proves he gets benefits from everyone and he can get away with it. Check him on a lie detector and then we can find out everything."
Speaking by phone to ESPN later Tuesday, Golovkin added: "I think it is silly to blame the meat because an athlete at this level should not be caught on the meat. I eat Mexican food all the time and I've never had that problem."
It's such an amateurish excuse for a pro that has been in the game that long its laughable. How is it possible that he cannot afford organic beef?
Maybe out of principle or an 8 figure fight purse I feel is what is keeping GGG in this fight. It's a damn shame cos I was really looking forward to this fight.
I heard the drugs take at least 3 months to wear off so he is still going to somehow be a beneficiary of the effects going into that fight
Nostradamus: hi bro, how do you get to watch NBA games in Nigeria?
I have NBA League Pass. Plus you could also buy a Kwese decoder. Kwese show NBA games and their free to air channel shows games on weekends if the Kwese decoder subscription is too pricey for you
I salute GGG's courage for not asking for a postponement. What's your take on that article? I don't think it's coincidental that the one drug that could help with his stamina is what he accidentally took never mind the sharp changes in physique but that's another story
Draymond is also out? Lmaooooo! I'm starting to think this is on purpose. The Warriors must know in their heart of hearts that they can't catch Houston so kukuma rest everybody. Kerr could have learned that from Pop
Also make e no be like say I only talk because na threat to Golden State dem favor against the Pelicans. Who saw the Thunder x Raptors game? Seriously these refs have to goooo
aliondo: Brewer looking like a good addition for the team...Will provide a good cover up for Roberson in the playoffs.
Great win against the Raptors..Good job guys...
BRODIE on fire....
#THUNDERUP
Brewer made some critical plays late in the game. I also like the Westbrook I saw today. He didn't settle for his usual bonehead 3's in the 4th and instead kept attacking the basket.
DeRozan really disappointed me with his play in the last 2mins. If Toronto are going to make this #1 seed count then he needs to not be a mental midget in tight games such as these. The way he unraveled was not a good look for a team trying to take the next step
etidy: The organization may have the money but you know salary cap issues will always limit spending. Giving such inflated contracts for three years is crazy. Anyway the alternative wasn't going to be pretty either ; Giving the rockets the veteran and defensive savy of iguodala could have come back to hurt them especially seeing the big jump the rockets have made.
True but the penalties wouldn't dent Golden State's money plus if they win 3 or 4 Championships it would be well worth the sacrifice. Rakuten is already paying $60m to put a 2x4 logo on their shirt. How much do you think they would have to pay when it's time for a new deal?
Except that there's no objective top 3 GOAT list that everyone agrees to. In a class, everyone knows the top 3 as they'd have objective results due to the fact that they do the same subjects, go to the same lectures, answer the exact same questions in the same exams, and have their respective scores compared by the same teacher who is the only authority.
Conflating an objective school report with a subjective GOAT list ranking proves how shallow you are!
So no one would say R9 isn't greater than Pele? What could Pele do that R9 couldn't? R9 won 2 world cups. He could have won 3 if he didn't have a convulsive fit before the '98 final. He is the only GOAT to have a 3 year catastrophic knee injury, come back, break the transfer record to Real Madrid, then won a Ballon D'Or and the World Cup scoring 2 goals in the final and winning the Golden Boot. No one would ever be able to do that. This guy won two FIFA World Player of the Year awards before he was 22.
LM10 dribbles mostly using feints. CR7 dribbles mostly using skills. R9 dribbles using both.
And you think he can't replace anyone on the GOAT list in any position.
There's a reason why he isn't called a magician, a genius, or something else. He's called O Fenômeno. The Phenomenon. He cannot be logically explained.
“I love to score goals after passing all the defenders as well as the keeper. This is not my speciality, but my habit.” – Ronaldo
And then you say CR7 can't displace Messi? Is that a joke or what? Any GOAT can displace any GOAT in any list. That's why everyone can't agree to anybody's list. And that's why it's disrespectful to talk about a TOP 3, as tho' there are 3 legends that others can't displace. And even more disrespectful to say legends like CR7, Cryuff, and R9 can't displace Messi in any list. That just shows you're irredeemably ignorant. You think football started in 2010 and ended in 2012?
Messi is the only GOAT to go to 5 international cup finals and not win one. Not even a tap in. How do you go to 5 finals with roughly the same players and you can't even inspire them to one trophy? And you want to put him before Pele, Maradona, CR7, Cryuff, R9. What insolence!

Applaudissee as Iyanya go talk. This is a brilliant post
etidy: The warriors made a big mistake giving Livingston and Andre big contracts. Andre is still able to deliver in clutch moments in d playoffs but he's just a glorified role player now.
Bruh you gotta pay the guys that helped you win two titles. It's in the constitution
Plus Golden State can afford it and by the time money from the Chase Arena starts rolling in their contracts would be pamper money. It's their last big contract in a world where Nicholas Batum got $120m/5years
SmooshCHN: But you can't breathe on James Harden.. I said it the other day they said I should keep quiet. These refs need to stop with the nonsense and the NBA need to grow up with the stupid fines they give these coaches for speaking the truth.
I just want consistency. What's good for the Jews should be good for Uganda. If you are going to be whistle happy then kuku blow for every contact so the players know the ref has a loose whistle on the night. If not then don't blow at all rather than favor one team over the other
Roland17: It is all about pace, especially during transition. Millsap's return has slowed the pace of the Nuggets offense and the ball is not moving as much anymore. I do agree that Malone's job should be hanging for sticking with this strategy. The young players want the freedom to run but they are being held back because Malone is choosing to run the offense through Millsap which slows everyone.
They don't seem to know how to close out games which was supposed to be the reason they got Millsap. However it's starting to look like a bad fit. Millsap's midrange game is looking obsolete in the Denver offensive scheme for now and it's mind-boggling that Malone is not running the offense through arguably the best passing big in the game Nikola Jokic
They also seem to lack a defensive identity which explains why they are 11-21 on the road. And 7-8 against teams under .500, to put it succinctly they bear all the hallmarks of a badly coached team
It was a crying disgrace. These refs need to be punished as they punish players and coaches transparently. It would hold them to a higher standard and maybe players and coaches would be less angry.
Very disappointed in The Nuggets. I thought the return of Millsap would make them better but they've arguably been worse since he returned. They are 11-21 on the road. With the offensive talent they have that's just unacceptable! They would do well to fire Malone
Not that I doubt the Rockets oh but I'd like to see them in a game where the whistles are a bit tighter. Some of the calls in this Pelicans game were bizarre to put it mildly.
"In 1997, no Champions League trophy. In 1998, no Champions League trophy. In 1999, there was the incident in Barcelona. In 2000, no Champions League trophy. In 2001, no Champions League trophy...I mean, I could go on."
The treble una win sef, your coach called it an incident.

Jupp on Malcom: "I've never seen him play. I hardly believe that there is interest from FC Bayern. This player is always put on the market by his agents, but nobody made a move
Ever Banega is suspended for the first leg. Hopefully our players (Kimmich and Lewandowski I'm looking at you) can avoid a booking in the first leg
