    Yeah these days corruption is usually limited to dodgy decisions, biased reffing etc... Outright matchfixing/dives are rare at the world/national stage.

    There are a lot of fixed matches going around, but i don't think that was one. Lemieux bangs hard, he probably even hits even harder than Golovkin.

    It wasnt fixed they took the money and ran
    Tapia was coming off a 4th round stoppage then they put him in with LEMIEUX
    Thats career suicide if they let it carry on he would have got ktfo like Khan
    It was a smart decision

    the guy that's been with tapia since he was 10? roach likely told him to go up and stop it since it would have taken roach 3 rounds to walk that far.
