That Pavlik win was amazing. I have no idea how he survived the second round, never mind how he had the energy to get the knockout.
A boxer using steroids? No way,next thing you’re gonna tell me that olympic athletes are using performance enhancing drugs too.
We may just need to accept that sports and drugs will always go together as long as there’s competition.
