"It's easier to fool people than it is to convince people that they have been fooled" - Mark Twain. For me it's undeniable that boxing is corrupt and fixed fights happen all the time. Now with legal gambling the pay offs are greater than ever before, but if you don't believe fights are fixed I doubt anything anyone says in a forum is likely to convince you otherwise.
He also had a heck of a lot to lose as he would be a laughing stock if he lost, so was cautious I do think Prenga was told not to throw in R2. A crude slugger who hurt him every time he hit him suddenly decides to practise the art of the sweet science
Nor should we be convinced if you're offering zero evidence besides some vague "but the dude fought bad!" tripe. Also the gambling angle doesn't work, either. Betting agencies are so good at their jobs now they know when suspicious levels of betting are occurring and will shut down taking wagers. Finally, why do ya'll think all this can be kept under wraps? We had the most wealthy and powerful people on the planet all get exposed as pedophiles because people couldn't keep it under wraps. But ya'll are just absolutely positive that big time stars/promoters in boxing are paying off guys to take dives and everyone is keeping their mouths shut and no one is spilling the beans? Is anything real in ya'lls world anymore? Is the Earth actually flat? Is your mailman secretly a lizard person? None of this conspiracy bull**** used to be a thing until the internet and social media. Now every room temperature IQ halfwit gets convinced by a slightly smarter halfwit looking to make a buck that everything in the world is a sham. The NFL is scripted. The Illuminati are secretly trying to kill us all off. And birds aren't real! IYKYK!!!
You are that exact person Mark Twain is referring too. You're defensively trying to protect the sport...that has fooled you with many fixed fights It's nothing to do with 'fighting bad'.
