Wednesday afternoon in Las Vegas, middleweight contender J'Leon Love was in attendance at the Mayweather Boxing Club while his stablemates get ready for Friday's card at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

For the first time, Love discussed at length his suspension stemming from the diuretic he tested positive for following his close decision victory over Gabriel Rosado. The fight took place on the May pay-per-view undercard to promotional boss Floyd Mayweather's lopsided decision win over Robert Guerrero.

Prior to the fight, Love suffered a family tragedy, as his older brother Gerald was killed in a shooting in Love's native Detroit. The incident occurred less than two months before Love was set to make the biggest step up in his career.

"My brother was left with nine kids, and now, I've taken them up as though they were my own," shared Love. "I am the one in the family making the big money, so I'm going to make sure they are taken care of now."
