A few things: 1) Shane admitted to taking steroids. He was very honest about it when the story first broke awhile back. 2) Steroids effect training. It allows you to train harder, and your body recovers faster. This has strong implications for training, and the way you can recondition for a fight. 3) Reed commented that "Shane ate some jabs." Yes. He eats jabs for breakfast:: 4) Mosley won the fight because he's faster, better, and most importantly was able to match strength. Mosley's team had a great gameplan, and he seemed very confident. 5) Mosley wants Cotto, even though he didnt say that, the look on his face when Cotto's name at the press conference came up was one of interest. 6) Vernon Forrest?? 7) Joe makes a good point about Pacquiao improving. Disagreed punching power and endurance are the key factors. Speed is the key. Floyd made ricky look average with hand and footspeed. Manny's feet are faster than anyones, which makes for a tough match-up. UNLESS, Ricky goes away from this "becoming a boxer" stuff, he will be hurt bad. Ricky needs to go back to physical, leading with hooks, holding and humping. 8) Manny isn't much of a body-puncher. He has adapted his style and picked up body punching for certain match-ups, when it suits him Manny goes downstairs to get some openings upstairs. 9) Roy-Hall, and Roy-Harris, jesus guys...GREAT CALL on the Prior fight Reed:bears: Solid show I thought.
I believe Shane never admitted to taking them, at least not intentionally. He said they were administered to him unknowingly. Isn't this why they said he's suing Balco? In any event, I enjoyed the show and being part of it. C
I believe he said that he did take "the cream" and/or "the clear" and that he didnt know what they were apart from being training supplements. Jake will know.
