Zed Wayne Zed - I wonder what the % of NFL players on steroids is? I train with a guy who used to play in the NFL (only two seasons before he permanently damaged his neck) and he says 100% of all players are on some sort of performance enhancing drug (inncluding painkillers etc), around 95% are on steroids for muscle growth.. no idea if true, I don't watch football and I don't know a lot about it but that's what he's saying... |

The force of the wind that the uppercut produced was more than enough to knock almost anyone out. You guys should all get your facts straight before making erroneous accusations. It's science people!

If the guy was too scared, he shouldn't have stepped into the ring. That was pathetic.

I wonder if Ray knew it was going to happen? He looked as confused and shocked as most of us do when seeing that. I wonder when it comes to works is how often are both fighters in on it. I feel bad for the hate that some fighters get after they had no idea they were going to be involved in a work. |

Wikipedia says that Edwards' boxing trainer is a former pro wrestler from WCW. It looked like a WCW match to me.

Promoter admits Ray Edwards’ opponent was “terrible”
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 12, 2013, 12:16 PM EST
We noted yesterday that former Vikings and Falcons defensive end Ray Edwards won a boxing match against an out-of-shape opponent who fell to the canvas without Edwards even hitting him. But it turns out that Edwards’ opponent was even worse than previously believed. Initially, Edwards was supposed to fight some guy named Mike Smith, who had only boxed once before, and had lost that one fight by first-round knockout. That Mike Smith wasn’t me, and it wasn’t Edwards’ coach during his time with the Falcons, but whoever it was, he didn’t show up to the weigh-in. That left the fight’s promoter, Cory Rapacz, scrambling to find a replacement. And the only replacement Rapacz could find was some guy named Nick Capes, who isn’t even a heavyweight and who entered the fight with a record of 0-3, with all three of his career fights being first-round knockout losses. Rapacz acknowledges that Capes had no shot, but Capes was the only licensed professional boxer who could be found to step into the ring with Edwards on short notice. “We knew he was terrible as one of the fights was on YouTube,” said Rapacz on Facebook, via FOX-9 in the Twin Cities. “It was obvious what we were getting. He had a federal ID and was over 200 pounds so we took him.”

I am really happy to report that the ND commission suspended the guy. It is awesome to see regulators take a stand against that stuff. |

Man if you're going to do combat sports, get a real opponent and test yourself. Why else you doing it? NFL players make a lot more money |
