    nobody is forgetting any of that, stop posting it. people can think past that, thats why nobody mentions it, not because they cant see "the idea".

    You don't win world titles and national Golden Gloves Championships without something special as Jacobs did just very very fishy to me for a guy not to even try was a glorifed sparring match,,

    I agree that GGG lost the second bout at 36 that is not suprising at all that a fighter doesn't want to take the same chances,, but he was trying to win the bout that was obvisous which is a stark contrast from what we saw the other night,,

    I didn’t say he isn’t special, I said he lacks the desire to be great. You don’t fight like the fight is already in the bag when you’re the challenger.
    He was so ecstatic that he didn’t get KO’d vs G that he collapsed as soon as the bell rung. What does that tell you?
    He didn’t go there to win and we saw the same thing vs Canelo.

    good maybe they can see how certain things should lead to obvious conclusions! If they can't see past the eye test... Jabobs pulling punches,, throwing shots that are obviously at half speed 90% of the fight,, I mean it was a shame to see,,

    In fact against GGG i had Jacobs winning without the Knockout down,, He got up from a clean early knock down and continued on. He was trying to win that fight what we saw Saturday was totally different just watch'em both again please

    I predicted it https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...-decision-this-saturday.628513/#post-19811019

    Canelo taking such a risky fight ahead of the third GGG fight could only mean one thing (fix).

    People forget that Boxers only take home a fraction (25% ?) of their purse after taxes and expenses. Jacobs got probably millions in an offshore acount, the same Golovkin did.

    Today it doesn't matter the fight is real or not: the big money comes from the mafia, not the fans: they need reliable people to keep the gig afloat and launder these dollars all year round.

    Canelo is the rain maker: he gives you a shot if you play by the house rules, and that means you don't try to win.

    Not sure about the involved parties outside of DAZN but the fight was for sure fixed,, I did read your comment you posted prior makes you look like a prophet lol,, Its a dirty business pro boxing for sure corrupt! I do believe he was paid step aside money as well and the people who are to naive thinking pro boxing is squeaky clean and fair have no idea!

    Previous fights yes, in there fight, no. That **** was as rigged as ggg vs canelo. Those were shoes, not fights. They were cooperating and following guidelines.

    Yes and Canelo v Golovkin in particular with Adelaide Byrd showed they don't give a **** not just we as fans think but folk in the media who's job it it is to write about Canelo and Golden Boy.
    Even the Clenbuterol thing was funny imo as the punishment actually suited him and allowed him to have surgery and put the fight off till later,aging Golovkin some more.
    Has Canelo been anyway effected by it?
    what angered me is I was naive enough to think Golovkin was to important to the WBC to stuff on the cards and I think he once was as they forced Canelo to fight or drop the belt and after this Canelos behaviour was quite disgusting,refused their trinket belts they made for him,threatened to not go back and imo I think he forced the WBC into promising Canelo exclusivity and probably got assurances he'd be ok whatever the scorecard,thing is they didn't take into account that Canelo would lose so many rounds to make it impossible to give him the win.

    Right that Byrd scorecard was outrageous,, couldn't believe it when it was read,, There is no debating what that was,, As for for the drug test i mean this is a serious sport and as professionals these fighters should know what is going into their bodies at all times as pro's.... You don't play boxing! Someone could be killed in the ring! But your article is all fair points! Dirty business! Starting to think the only real boxing as my old trainer once said is Amateur boxing!

    Those members only want you to believe they're naive: in reality they're part of the gig: these people are constantly on boxing forums influencing and manufacturing opinions to cover their traces .

    Another example is youtube boxing blogger Dwyer: he works for the casinos and sends gamblers the wrong path: his preferred play for the fight was Jacobs covered by both fighters inside the distance .

    Well, considering it from the human side, fixing fights is pretty harmless and extremely rewarding for the fighters: you pretend to do your best, avoid any real and potentially career damaging punishment, and you beat uncle Sam, which sets you for life.

    The only suckers are those who paid the tickets and TV broadcasts. Gamblers got shafted of course, but that's part of the game.

    Once you get started on this thinking "this fight was fixed or that fight was fixed" you can pick and choose which fights were fixed according to decisions you don't think were how you saw them. I never thought anything was fixed in boxing.. If I did it would ruin the sport for me all the way back. I have to have faith in the sport. People love this sport.
