    Surprised no-one has mentioned Haye-Harrison 3rd round KO

    Lots of fights historically have been fixed & although we are a long way from the mafia-run days of the past there are still & will continue to be fights with questionable results.

    Haye-Harrison wasn't fixed, it was just a mismatch.

    It was a mismatch with an end result that was manufactured

    Haye could have won at any point he wanted but chose the 3rd

    I no for fact fights are fixed look at hatton fight the same referee done atleast ten world fights of his also look at the way certain judges and referee,s are wined and dined by the home promoter and it the same ones all the time when you get top coaches questioning the appointment of certain officials i,e judges referee,s and are trying to get them changed it tell you they think they are bent i was at a show in glasgow when i heard a top english manager telling his boxer what ever you do dont KO he doing you a favour

    De La Hoya vs Trinidad anyone? The way the rounds were scored was ridiculous, let alone the totals.

    100% yes, some fights are fixed.


    Some boxers will have had to spar the guy they are about to fight, so no one can tell me there is no pals act going on when it comes to a boxer getting the win when they haven't deserved it. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, you hit me and i'll hit you back.


    Or even when a boxer is on the bones of his arse and he gets one last fight to get some cash, you cant tell me there is no skullduggery going on with their managerment team.
