    I used to be really big on Garcia and watching this fight was ridiculously frustrating though I'm not sure it was a fix, in the traditional way.

    Rumor is Garcia was really fed up with his management and went out of his way to lose this match. I heard this from sources I trust. Not trying to act like I more than I do, I'm just being honest in this one regard concerning this fighter.

    However, Garcia is 6-5 since this fight, so it could just be he really isn't that good.

    I really did have high hopes for Garcia, I thought he was going to be a beast.

    I'm not so sure that Tyson-Seldon was a fix as much as it was Seldon being scared shitless and wanting nothing to do with getting hit.

    There was a Michael Gomez fight were he jus flat out stop fighting mid round that was abit odd.... But I'm not sure of that was just him "having enough" and didnt want anything else to do with the fight game

    Morales Garcia II was sketchy as fcuk! Especially as it emerged the sign Morales fell next too was his main sponsor for the fight!
     

  6. There's been fights that have been fixed were they have blasted each other for round after round and both have looked totally ****ed. Then they have found the fix was in.

    Go and check out Lamotta-Fox, they punched 10 tons of **** out of each other.. still came out the fix was in fvcko.

    A bit of cosmetic damage goes a long way in making people think the fix isn't in. I happened to think it looked suss, and so did Atlas... that's good enough for me to mention on this thread.

    This is what Lamotta said about the fight -

    The first round, a couple of belts to his head, and I see a glassy look coming over his eyes. Jesus Christ, a couple of jabs and he's going to fall down? I began to panic a little. I was supposed to be throwing a fight to this guy, and it looked like I was going to end up holding him on his feet... By [the fourth round], if there was anybody in the Garden who didn't know what was happening, he must have been dead drunk."[9]
