    He didn't throw the fight. He kept going until he started getting tagged. Once GGG started connecting, Kell started looking for a way out. Their goal was to make a lot of money with the least amount of damage taken in the process, they didn't want to get Khanned.

    I don't think you understand what a strawman argument is.:beer-toast1:

    Straw man is the name of a logical fallacy, which means that if you carefully dissect the argument or statement, it doesn't make sense. Debaters invoke a straw man when they put forth an argument, usually something extreme or easy to argue against. You put forth a straw man because you know it will be easy to knock down or discredit...

    Lol... you've assumed the OP believed what he wrote. Bless you....

    Anyone who thinks Kell threw the fight should really f*ck off and die a terrible death. Stupid teenybopper fanboys...

    What argument? That's the point I was making - he wasn't refuting anyone.....

    No, quitting is what your fishnet hero did versus a tiny manny Pac, when Pac retired the cokehead *ss.. Brook's corner stopped the fight.

    Beside water, you are not supposed to eat banana in between rounds. This is not tennis.

    In other news, Khan admitted that he threw the Canelo fight.

    Pac has announced that he threw the fourth JMM fight, hoping for a mega $$$$ fifth bout.


    And Anti-corruption investigators are questioning Michael Spinks about a fight he had with Mike Tyson some years back.

    Brook got paid and bailed out of the fight. If you watch the last round Brook blatantly stops fighting. That is a clear signal to his corner that he is done. If you don't think Brook and his corner had a bail out plan then you must be one dumb fool. What pro boxing team is going to have their prize fighter move up two divisions to fight the biggest puncher in that division and not have a plan to salvage their prize fighter?

    You'd think most people would have this kind of common sense.

    He took the fight because he felt 5 million + PPV was too much to pass up.

    Once he realized he was too small and was going to sustain a beating him and his team bailed out and ran with the money.

    There is nothing freakish about a common boxing injury. Many fighters have fought on with greater physical damage surrounding the orbital bone.
