There's always a chance it wasn't, just not much of one in my book. Regardless, it's about the lamest of first round "knockouts" I've ever seen. It also doesn't help that the fix was in on Garcia-Herrera. Maybe they would just rig one fight to protect their cash cow and the prior screwy outcome was just a fluke. To me, it seems way more likely that GBP would simply ensure both of their headliners stay on the right track towards bigger paydays.
Opposite for me. There is always the chance it was a fix, just not much of a chance IMO. They wouldn't make it that cartoonish, with the wink and everything. That is some serious Saturday-morning ****.
I think Scott's realistic in that his career was basically over. Making it blatantly, over-the-top obvious like that may've his way of going out giving the finger to the situation. Or maybe he just decided to say screw it, take the payday, not train, and go down on the first punch for whatever non-fixed related reason. Either way, we got jipped, his career's toast, and it's going to cast a layer of doubt on how Wilder's been built up, rightly or wrongly.
I was talking to Charlie Zelenoff toady. He has no doubt the fight was fixed. So hes gonna make a video on this fixed fight. Charlie was literally amazed how fake it was.
LOL that is a biased view, they are friends Scott didnt throw a punch then suddenly he winka Wilder throws a combo Scott doesnt even try and dodge it he just blocked Not looking at both sides of the argument is just biasedness
I saw hook land but even the hook wasn't turned over or landed with full leverage just thought a little more of scott coming into fight a bit disapointing
For whatever reason, Malik Scott went down and did not even try to get up. I think he was paid to do that. I don´t think Deontay had anything to do with it. It was just a lame night of boxing.
