I thought Chavez Jr looked decent Saturday night and gave him props for the first time. Now I understand he misses a post fight drug test and refuses to answer questions about it. This raises some serious questions and if I were Rubio I would fight this until the end.
In proportion, Puerto Rico is and has been the biggest champion producer in the World.
Sounds dodgy.

Here is another update. I think the fight should be a NC. Something is up and the protecting of Chavez Jr must stop.

It's a joke. HBO should be ashamed of itself for being every bit complicit in manufacturing this guy as Arum is. The guy's a complete sham. The size advantage he enjoys in the ring means he can be anywhere from 25-50% as good as his opponent and still walk through them. And even then, he's faced crappy competition, with Rubio, a mere tune-up for Pavlik years back, a supposed big step up for Jr.
What a fucking joke.
It's funny because Steward, in Chavez Jr.'s defense, talked about the fact he hadn't had a amateur career, and that for this reason, his lack of a single top opponent is understandable. Fine. But half the guy's fights have been on HBO or PPV. So basically, HBO has used up spots for amateur boxing?
HBO needs to pull the plug on this Chavez Jr. bit. It's gotten ridiculous.

Chavez struggles to make weight and then avoids a post fight piss test.
Seems innocent enough to me.
These areas have been drained. Thanks to the open and frank nature of discussion on this forum, myself and steveE_davE were working on this matter as of Sunday.
So, I'm assuming the concern is that he took some laxative that has been banned.
Peek a' boo, motherfu*#er!!

The concern is that he missed the test. As of now, that's the only concern, and thats as much detail its should be taking on. I say that out of both fairness and a desire to not see this dressed up prematurely as a "Oh, it was probably just a laxative" kind of thing. By that same token, I doubt he was taking anything anabolic.
The diuretic found in his system when he got suspended a couple of years ago is also used as a masking agent to hide other drugs.
Not saying it's why Chavez Jr used it last time (or even that he used anything this time), but it's become a common use in sports. And even as a Chavez fan, there's every reason to suspect he cut several corners in order to make weight for this fight. The fact that no post-fight drug test was administered only heightens such suspicions.
The only question I had when reporting on it was whether or not Rubio would have a beef over the absence of drug test, if he had won the fight.
Did you know... that Vince Phillips moved down in weight to win a title?
Why would he? Of course he wouldn't care. What does that prove? I think the obvious implication of Rubio's complaint is that he lost the fight BECAUSE Chavez was using something. Take that away, and why would he care whether there were a test or not?

Nobody cares what the other guy was on if you win.
It was a rhetorical question, Double L. Calm down.

ludicrous
...........and that's why the fight was in Texas.

I love how Suliaman says "We forgot" when asked about Chavez not leaving a sample. WE? Really?
