Umm doesnt look like that at all lol. In the Vid Tim is up and ready to go and Yoel is still just sitting there. Changed the whole landscape of the fight.
The fact that they both had the same amount of rest isn't the point. The fact that Romero NEEDED that rest (completely gassed), that is what made the difference. Anyways, off topic at hand. The cheater got caught, there will be more.

Tainted supplements bros...

:D

..I believe him, yo. Dunno why..but I do!

Anderson got off with the "Thai sex drugs" defence and fighting Bisping (poor guy's been fucked over on so many occasions by doped guys). At least Yoel had something better for it. His manager is smart, publicly praised USADA and Novitsky to satisfy their ego and now Yoel should be a slap on the wrist away from a titleshot. Don't forget Jesus people.

He tested positive for diuretics, not steroids!
Interesting. So diuretics cannot be possibly found in supplements right? The contamination explanation is therefore not accurate? Just some honest questions.

I read that he provided the supplements to USADA and they confirmed that they were tainted
Yeah I think the report is what his manager had said, USADA released a separate statement, saying they're continuing the process, Yoel did in fact test positive on that test (B-sample too) but no word on the rest of the story. My guess is he's probably going to have a hearing..and I want. No, I demand: a Yoel Romero public apology.

OK so Romero is clean. Let's move past this. Time for him to get a title shot. Nobody wants to see Wideman get his ass kicked again.

If you guys wanna get philosophical about it, the tainted supplement defence would be a real legit one and posses a lot of problems for USADA, who monitors the supplements there? The FDA?
How easy/hard is it to taint a supplement?
All interesting questions, I believe, but in a world where andersons "sex drugs" defence worked, how do you think that'll work?
It's best to just give Yoel a podium, let him make a hilarious statement and let him have the title shot :D

They both got the same amount of rest. Kennedy just likes to use that as an excuse.

He was going to get destroyed either way.
He was supposed to be ready to do his job at a specified time and he sat on his ass and wanted to fight the rules instead of Kennedy (at that exact point in time).
If that doesn't compute with you then think of it like someone getting a reaaaaaally long standing 8 count in boxing- it's unfair.
That showed a lack of professionalism from him, his corner and McCarthy.

The whole reason that Romero was rocked at the end of round 2 was because Kennedy cheated by grabbing his gloves and landing strikes.

Romero should have been awarded a few minutes to recover in addition to the rest period in between rounds anyway.

This fight was karma at its finest.

I stand corrected.

I listened to Ariel on my fucking 5 hours of driving today and Maliki or whatever his name is, is not a good person to speak or protect you......he sounds shady as fuck but, I believe there may be something here as far as exonerating Yoel. It sounds legit but that could be me being the gullible Jimmy. I found the interview to be hilarious at the end as you had Ariel ask Yoel a question, a translator tell Yoel what Ariel said, Yoel answer the translator, the translator tell Maliki what Yoel said and then Maliki tell Ariel.......I was crying and almost crashed my car when they were all translating and Yoel then said "but, but" in English and both the translator an Maliki said "but, but".....it was comedy gold. I'll try to find it.....

Has the tainted supplement excuse ever worked by the way? You'd think after so many cases of tainted supplements, this would'nt happen anymore right? If Ubereem can't be that big natural, so can't Romero. If it talks like the hulk, or it walks like the hulk, it is probably the hulk, or roided to the tits. Can't believe people want to believe these excuses when it is their own hero.
