He's actually pretty good..he's one of the reasons why the PBC on spike cards are excellent on the broadcast side


I wish they'd get rid of Sugar Ray's azz. He's terrible on the mic. Him and Marv Albert, although the latter has gotten better since the first go round. Laila Ali too, she's awful as an analyst. Funny when I watch Showtime and HBO events, it makes me appreciate Malinaggi, Bernstein, Roy, Max, Lederman, Lampley, etc. so much more. They actually have something to say and have engaging personalities. Marv on the other hand calls punches that didn't happen, and Leonard doesn't seem like he's there. Like he's scared to speak or something. When he does speak it's not particulary insightful which is strange since he's a legendary HOF fighter. You'd think he'd provide invaluable insight. Hope he ain't fukkin with the bottle again.

Tarver vs. Cunningham: No USADA Random Testing

Posted by: Victor Salazar on 8/11/2015 .

By Victor Salazar

North Bergen, NJ - When the Premier Boxing Champions Series was introduced, there was a lot of positives to write home about, specifically having a drug testing protocol in place for all of its fights outside of the standard state commission tests.

Per an article written by BoxingScene.com’s Jake Donovan and a press release from PBC to the media, the United States Anti-Doping Agency was tabbed to administer random blood and urine tests for every fighter participating under the PBC banner.

“Today's fans deserve a wider audience and broader exposure. With the support of United States Anti-Doping Agency, each boxer participating in the PBC series will be subject to random, Olympic-style drug testing,” Lamont Jones, Vice President of Operations for Haymon Boxing was quoted in the article.

This afternoon at a media workout for this Friday’s PBC on Spike TV, Steve Cunningham who is in the main event against Antonio Tarver revealed that there was no sort of random testing for this fight.


Back in 2012, Tarver tested positive for the anabolic steroid drostanolone in a pre-fight urine test administered by the California State Athletic Commission, for his fight with Lateef Kayode


“We requested it,” Cunningham told BoxingScene.com. “It should be mandatory for every fight. I have personal views of steroids in boxing. We’re already men with great athletic ability and power. Anyone using anything illegal to gain more power I’m against. We see guys die in the ring against guys who are average. Now we have guys to make themselves even more powerful. What happens when the first guy that fights kills a guy in the ring and gets caught? Me personally, if I ever fight a guy and he gets caught with steroids, I’m putting a civil suit on them for attempted murder. It’s serious. It’s dangerous already and for someone to soop themselves up is criminal.”


Cunningham says they wanted it but admits it he didn’t follow up actively


“We wanted the test because this man has a history and that’s what he got busted for,” Cunningham said. “We’re going to get tested though, not during camps but before and after the fights, next time most we’ll get it definitely. It was there available for us but it wasn’t top priority at the time. Camp has been real busy so we’ll settle for before and after”



When John Molina tested positive for a diuretic for his fight with Adrien Broner on the inaugural PBC on NBC, broadcast, it was a urine test conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. In fact in an article on TheSweetScience.com, a spokesman for USADA revealed to Michael Woods that they had not done any testing for John Molina.


Cunningham’s manager and wife Liv Cunningham also confirmed that those were the measures taking and that the testing for this fight was not at random


“We get tested before the fight and post-fight so we’re happy with those measures,” his manager said. “We would have liked to do random and we had a similar situation in the past but promoters aren’t lining up and trying to pay for that type of testing. It could cost like $5000. Don’t quote me on the cost so it can be upwards of that. So we had a happy medium in between with fight night being tested and after.”



When asked about what commission or agency would be conducting the test, Cunningham said, “I don’t remember what agency they said. It seems legit and they’re on it.”


An email was sent to USADA and PBC regarding the testing which was not responded to. A text was sent to the Commissioner of the NJ Athletic Control Board as to what testing aside from the standard blood and urine before the fight would be used, which was not responded to either.

i cant help but think tarver vs cunningham would be an even better fight if they were both at CW...CW was as high as i thought Tarver should have gone and the last time I thought dude looked good physically in the ring was in that division (that beating he gave danny green :wow:)..and of course Steve did his thing there at that weight

With the top three fights of the night taking place at cruiserweight and heavyweight, there was very little to be concerned about regarding the weigh-in for Friday's edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike TV.
In the one fight where weight contractually mattered, reigning cruiserweight champion Marco Huck makes his long-awaited U.S. debut as he defends versus Poland's Krzysztof Glowacki. Both fighters came in a shade under the 200 lb. cruiserweight limit; Huck tipped the scales at a fighting-ready 199 lbs., while Glowacki checked in at 198 lbs.
Glowacki (24-0, 15KOs) enters his first major title fight. On the very opposite end of the spectrum, Huck is on the verge of making history in the cruiserweight division. With a win or any non-losing outcome, Huck - born in Serbia but now based out of Germany - will have made his 14th successful title defense, more than any other cruiserweight in boxing history.
Headlining the show, former World cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham makes his first appearance on the PBC circuit as he faces former light heavyweight king Antonio Tarver in a scheduled 12-round heavyweight bout.
Cunningham (28-7, 13KOs) weighed in at a shredded 204 lbs., while Tarver tipped the scales at 217 lbs.
The bout marks the eighth consecutive fight at heavyweight for Cunningham following a lengthy career at or near the top of the cruiserweight division. His most recent ring appearance came in March, landing on the wrong end of a controversial 12-round decision loss to Vyacheslav Glazkov.
Tarver is unbeaten in his last five starts, including three wins at heavyweight. His most recent victory came last December, stopping Johnathon Banks in the 7th round of an ESPN headliner on a show that served as a tribute to the passing of the late Dan Goossen last fall.
On the undercard, rising heavyweight Artur Szpilka continues to make his case for a future title shot as he stays busy in a scheduled 10-round bout with Yasmany Consuerga.
Szpilka (19-1, 14KOs) weighed 231 lbs., the same weight as his last appearance when he drilled Manuel Quezada in three rounds this past June. Consuerga - who is coming off of a knockout loss to Dominic Breazaele in June - weighed 230 lbs.
