Crolla was a decent fighter never a world class operator but he got lucky by beating a very average darleys Perez to become a world champion which credit him he made his name . But this guy Loma is an elite operator who will win everyone in his weight including. Tank and mikey Garcia very easy . The only way he gets beat is by the weight becoming an issue an even then it will have to be someone we haven’t seen as Crawford is not good enough either.

The problem is now British boxing doesnt really have enough fighters to spread over 3 promotions, BT have the same few Dubois, Gorman etc every couple of weeks and Hearn is trying to spread his stable too thin now half of them fill his USA cards. I can see him begging Crolla and paying him big £££ to stay in the game and fight domestic level fights.

So Jarrell Miller fails another drugs test just weeks after going on the attack at Joshua. Not really a surprise for anyone but looking forward to seeing who they get in at short notice surely it cant be Bryant Jennings?
Dont think they would take Ortiz as hes more dangerous than Miller but Ive heard Michael Hunter mentioned and hes on a great run at the moment although hes quite a small heavyweight (Only defeat was down at Cruiser to Usyk) he did beat the 6foot 5 Bakole

Yeah this weekend there was some good fights Loma is in a league of his own and his easy win over Crolla was predictable. Still want to see him in with Mikey Garica. Think Garcia will cause him some problems. The fight will be more competitive in my opinion than the Crolla fight.
Got to feel sorry for Dennis Hogan fighting in Mexico for WBO Super Wealterweight title watched the fight against Munguia and the lad was robbed on the judges cards. Out boxed the hometown favourite yet lost it on the cards. Even the commentators said it was a poor decision gone against him. Hopefully he gets the rematch at a neutral venue and he wins the World title.
As for future fights 2 weeks time a big 1 in Super Bamtamweight TJ Doheny v Daniel Roman in a unification fight TJ Doheny on the road again after winning the World Title in Japan I wouldnt put it past TJ to beat Roman in his back yard. TJ reminds me a bit of Scott Harrison strong as a ox and with power and good technical skills. Get your money on TJ.

Chisora also wants a pop according to Haye. Disappointing if it's him though.

AJ is going to be fighting a bum in the US no matter what. There is no White or Miller , Fury , Wilder. So if i was to have a little bet I would go with Kubrat Pulev just dont get it to have AJ now fighting on that card as there will be a nothing fight now.

I'm quite certain Wilder is ducking AJ now, he is running out of excuses and has made so many contradictions, that it's not even in doubt to me. It's a real shame as that's the fight that should have been happening, before they settled for Miller.

Makes a lot of sense since Pulev is mandatory but there’s a good chance he’ll be banned. Think it will be Hunter myself.AJ is going to be fighting a bum in the US no matter what.

Just read that the substance found in Miller's blood was not steroids, yet so many boxers and promoters seem to think it is. I myself was thinking it was steroids, the way it was reported.
The substance was PPAR which can help with endurance, so more cardio or weights reps... it might have even been a supplement he was taking that had it in. I think we need to distinguish steroids from substances like this, as people are using words like "dangerous" or "could kill someone", when the language should be cheating ****, or corner cutter. Boxing is a dangerous sport to begin with but I believe what he's done here is stupid not dangerous, probably trying to shed weight for the big occasion. He could have done the same without it, with the right attitude is the difference.
Why would he risk the biggest fight of his career for something like that? If it was in something he'd taken without knowing then his team have let him down, which is an even bigger shame.
Seems like AJ wants Ortiz as the first choice replacement which could be interesting. I actually think he might be harder to beat than the Ortiz Wilder faced if that does happen, he wont make the same mistakes.

Miller has failed the 2nd test with vada, no surprise. What a dickhead.

Isn’t the ‘B sample’ just taken at same time and just double checking the first one? So a first positive basically would be >99% to be the same result?

Yeah never in doubt. Crawford & Khan weigh in at 10pm.

From what I’ve read he’s actually failed a second drug test that was taken a few days ago, I haven’t seen an announcement about the b test yet.

It might not give him power directly but if it enables him to be in the gym longer, lift more weights, improve his stamina in training and on fight night it is still dangerous. If AJ is totally clean, as I believe he is as he’s the most tested boxer out there, you just wouldn’t risk going in with someone that could gain an advantage after everything he’s built.

Yes(ok perhaps I should have said the levels of danger are far apart?) as I said that's still different to steroids. He could have done the same without it and lets not pretend boxing isn't dangerous in it's nature.. what steroids do is different gravy, far more dangerous.It might not give him power directly but if it enables him to be in the gym longer, lift more weights, improve his stamina in training and on fight night it is still dangerous. If AJ is totally clean, as I believe he is as he’s the most tested boxer out there, you just wouldn’t risk going in with someone that could gain an advantage after everything he’s built.
I'm not saying let him off the hook but there should be a distinction at least, as in those caught doing steriods do need more stick than guys like this. Still a cheat though by the looks of it but there should be a way back after he's served his ban.
I do agree when it comes to title shots he's blown it, I wouldn't blame anyone for avoiding him, unless he ramps up the testing to remove any doubts.

And now he’s failed a third test! This time for EPO which has to be injected.

Hope Khan makes a good account of himself however Bud is too good. See this fight going the same way as Jacobs & Canelo.
