Did Scott take a dive?

The left hook landed. It looked a little soft, but the punch was in the right place.

Wilder just has serious power. Scott was hurt, and may have been able to get back up, but Wilder probably would have finished him anyway.

 

Wont know for sure but imo yes.

 

clipped him? the punch didnt even touch himatsch

 

The answer is no, what is your point? A tad more than 2/3 are covered by water..

 

A ranked heavyweight, with a 35-1-1 record, should not be getting put down with a pawing hook like that. Never mind KO'ed by a pawing hook like that.

Overlooking the fact it was the very first punch of the fight. It was an arm punch, that hit him with his palm FFS. Highly, highly suspicious, and at least deserves spoken about by the media. Sure it may well of been a legit KO, but there is a big question mark there.

 

Terrible acting job, boxing is becoming the WWE

 

Looks more to me like Scott wanted nothing to do with this fight and was clearly intimidated from the start.

 

Look at the way he went down. If a fighter is truly off equilibrium, you can see it in their eyes and the way their body reacts. When Scott went down, he was looking at Wilder and his eyes were completely focused when he was on the canvas.

And then you have wilder celebrating with his back turned like he knew the fight was over instead if going to a neutral corner. This whole thing was choreographed.

I've seen thousands of KOs, but never one that fake.

 

Scott wanted nothing to do with this fight and didn't want to get up. This has nothing to do with being fixed, it's Scott's fault.

 

At first i thought it was but the left hook landed right on the temple, cant say it was dive with that punch

 

I agree with this :deal

Scott didnt want anything to do with that fight. Not Wilders fault

 

Wilder landed a left hand to Scott's temple but it didn't look like a hard punch.

We have been here before with Scott. It was actually a bit like the Chisora knockout, Chisora clipped him with a temple shot and then Scott didn't seem to want to continue. I think that Scott is a good sparring partner but doesn't have the mind set for the pro game and folds under any pressure.

It could have been a fix I wouldn't rule it out, but after what happened in the Chisora fight I am leaning towards him getting clipped by a punch which didn't hurt him that much and then deciding to stay down.

 

perhaps you need to find a new sport, you're clueless about boxing.

 

Poll result

162 to 47

So most people agree, he took a dive

 

Embarrassingly obvious that it wasn't a legit KO. The reason/motivation is unimportant, in any case it has no place in professional boxing.
