    Prove there wasn't.



    This is all "Allegedly" of course.

    Probability mate.

    It's not 50:50.

    That is certainly another theory. Although in that shot you just posted, I think ODLH is the one looking particularly dodgy.

    Why? He's not charging anyone with corruption, he doesn't need to prove anything. He's saying on the balance of probability that's the most likely case.

    But do you ever know in the hundreds of thousands of rounds when a bell has been rung 40 seconds too early from incompetence?

    These things always favour the home fighter, but perhaps it's another mistake, or error in judgement.

    Do you know that it's rung from corruption? It's a utterly spurious claim to make. Another case of the window-lickers on here over-reacting.

    If only Arthur Conan Doyle had been around now, he could have made a much better super slueth based on many if the posters on here.

    Yes Sir, no Sir, three bags full Sir.

    Don't just believe everything you're told. It's better to question and be wrong than to accept lies.

    You're being facetious and reading what you want to read.

    No, I'm reading exactly what people are saying.

    The problem with these conspiracy theories is how hard it is to actually fix anything. How was Frank to know that Enzo would get belted so quickly?

    Yes, he's chinny, but only Haye and Lebedev have stopped him early in a fight.

    So, basically Frank would have had to pay the timekeeper just in case Enzo got in trouble when the round was still in full flow. Do you not see how ridiculous that is?

    df you're way off the mark here. Sure, this might not stand up in court, but when you're having a discussion with your mates down the pub, or on a forum, you just weigh up the evidence and make a judgement. You don't have to prove anything.

    How many times in boxing do you see the timekeeper ring the bell early? Now on this occasion it just so happened when Enzo looked like he was on the verge of being stopped. Add to that the fact that the dude started counting for 2 knockdowns scored by Enzo Mac, when the ref had not even called them as knockdowns.
