    Ayes true Mr Bru.

    Was a bit pissed with it and tbh its like it never happened...yet he was taken well (away from home)......which i liked.


    Murray/Mitchell........a look at ma posts will probably show ma reasoning/outcome.


    Am not questioning anyone either btw, dunno why but i like the Mitch......he pretty honest in himself and did some good work tonight, very adaptable, outshined one dimensional Murray ten fold.......THATS what i liked.


    Start to end he led with or used a left uppercut......not rare...........hardly standard though...........yet 9/10 it came through (Tibbs)

    Couldn't have been said any better. Burns I believe had nothing to do with it but Cook knew he was finished before the bell.

    Just a real shame for Burns.

    The thread title is was the fix in? Its a question. I think its suspicious as far as the betting action goes. How could you not?

    All that money went on a 3rd round stoppage for a reason, dont you think?

    Do you seriously think a bunch of people started making max limit bets on a 3 rd stoppage on a hunch?

    Then the fight goes off with an inconclusive finish to it. Still that is not suspicious?

    I cant see what reason you d have to defend it really. You have to consider all posibilities, dont you?

    So in conclusion, shut the **** up. Fake godfather.

    Sorry for quoting myself but that 5/1 in the 1st was backed in from 12's about 90 minutes before the fight.

    Its ****ing ridiculous.

    Exactly. To not even consider this is complete stupidity

    3rd round was 3/1 a few hours before the fight, 1st round was 17/1, must have been pounded just before the fight.

    I know, going home after breaking Cook in half with a world championship belt still round his waist & fatter pockets, poor Rickster must be distraught!
    Surely Rickster will be buying the Macdonalds tonight;)

    Disgusting. Another black eye for boxing. What makes it worse is the sport got a ****ing bat round its head last weekend with Williams/Lara.

    As far as I remember 1st and 3rd round stoppage was way lower than 2nd and the 4th . 4th round was 13/1 and there was some money coming in on the first round around 60 minutes before the fight .

    2nd round - 14/1

    3rd round - 3/1

    4th round 13/1

    if his back was that bad and the word was out then surely they would have put that massive wedge on a 1st round stoppage

    Money was coming in rapidly on the first round an hour prior to the fight. What ****ing else do you need to know? Everything is set in stone. The bookies clearly knew what the **** was going down hence most bookies suspending round betting.
