Haye would take care of Bellew quite easily I think.  Hard to warm to Bellew.

Talk of a rematch!  There is no way I can ever see crolla beating linares. Linares is different class to him. Was a good fight, but rematch is pointless

Great quote in the Guardian today.

Quote"Wiggins, whose own personality is not always his best friend"

In other words, he's a p***k.

TUEs are only valid and legal if there's no deception in acquiring them. Pretty evident at this stage that the intramuscular injections are way beyond what any normal doctor would prescribe for treating asthma. David Millar has had said he's never felt as strong while so skinny as when he was on the same stuff. Sanctioned doping is all it is.

I think the injections were for hay fever and allergies, which is even worse again.

Injections for hay fever for grass that isn't grown in Italy.

"Tyson has, this week, been declared medically unfit to fight. Medical specialists have advised that the condition is too severe to allow him to participate in the rematch and that he will require treatment before going back into the ring. Tyson will now immediately undergo the treatment he needs to make a full recovery"

That sounds like it could be code for alcohol or drugs related problems. They're being deliberately vague anyway.

Yeah was thinking the same myself, not being very specific.  The no show at last press conference would indicate it's not an injury this time.

Wouldn't be surprised if brooks eye socket is smashed, you could see him gesture to his corner as it happened, 3rd round I think. Great effort from him.

Bolt again 🍺

A bit tainted for me that one having won it off the back of 2 dopers!!

Blake isn't a doper. Powell was in the relay squads in both London and Beijing.

Was Blake not suspended for taking a banned substance a few years back?

Why is the track blue? Looks odd.

Probably turn green any day

Selimov beat lomachenko,  good performance from Joyce.  The draw could have been nicer to him.

The ball has to be live for a free/ pen  to be awarded.

However a card can be given if applicable.

Nearly sure Sean cavanagh got awarded a free in last minute v Down couple of years back when ball wasn't in play.

Any other decent sports documentaries on Netflix? Watched one there about NHL Enforcers and how important they were to their teams.  Can't think of the name of it now,  but those guys were nuts, and a lot of them had mental health and addiction problems after leaving the sport.
