    Seldon goes down like he'd been shot by a rifle ... Ridiculous...

    Perfect.

    Look at his face at 4:47 mark... he knew that the first knockdown was not convincing. The punch definitely missed.

    :good
    ^ Check out 5:14 of that video, when the referee's counting. Look at Seldon do his "head shake" and suddenly turn all wobbly and do his "jelly legs" .... that's embarrassing ! :lol:

    Yes, I also noticed tha "head shaking" and the "jelly legs" staging... :good

    He was saying to the referee "I'm ****ing hurt!! Stop the fighting, please!"

    Really embarrassing.:lol:

    It wasnt a fix.
    Seldon was intimadated into falling over ASAP.
    Every respect for Mike at his peak...but by this point in his career a guy like Seldon had a chance which makes it even more dissapointing.
    Others froze v Tyson....Spinks and Bruno 2 come to mind.

    You really do believe that Seldon was actually hurt?? I've seen better acting in your mothers 70's porn version of The Confessions Of A Window Licker! :rofl:rofl

    A fix can include knowing the exact round a fighter will go down.
    It's worth much more to a gambler than just knowing the winner.

    Well tbh the odds won't have been that good for a Tyson first round knockout. Seldon took a dive because Don King told him to or he was genuinely a chicken **** who should be ashamed of himself.

    I don't know what the odds were.
    I do know that the odds of the fight not lasting more than one round, were greater than the odds simply on a Tyson win.
