Is Caecilia Braekhus on the juice?

Breakhus on the juice? After an article I just read on a Norwegian site, her grand and triumphant "homecoming" match in Norway was supervised by a controversial German sanctioning body, the BDB, which became infamous after a revelation that they let an unnamed German boxer fight long after he tested positive for a banned substance. And now, Braekhus, who never was regarded as a puncher and had only 6 knockouts in 28 fights before the fight against Anne Sophie Mathis-who had never been stopped before-goes in and takes out the French boxer in 2 rounds, after also getting a new trainer in Jonathon Banks. The "excuse" was that he had taught her to take advantage of her strength and maximise her punching power, but now after this revelation about BDB, it starts to get suspicious. Edited by BoztheMadman

...watch the fight...Mathis essentially quit...and was almost 40...and had been stopped before...

 

Nevertheless...there is something fishy about them using BDB. Perhaps it was the easiest thing for them to arrange a match in Norway, I hope so. But Caecilia does look considerably "beefier" than before and stopped Mathis with only a few punches. 40 or not...she's 39 btw, she is one tough gal.

I HOPE this is not true. She is a very nice person, but one has to raise question marks after that performance and the connection to BDB. It may be that it is just because Mathis got old and was caught with her guard down, but as I said, I've seen Braekhus land many shots on her when they fought in 2012 and Mathis hardly flinched. She wasn't nowhere near being stopped. While fighters may age, their chin ages slower-especially in women's boxing.
