    Let's be straight-shooting, are some fights fixed? Have some fights been fixed? What do you think??

    Yep there is and always will be in one way or another. Betting and wrong people involved in the sport sadly and it's never gonna change it's just something you have to be prepared for sadly.

    Not the only sport with it and won't be last.

    Of course. Not as many people seem think these days though.

    There's also a bit of indirect fixing going on I reckon. Pressure on the refs n judges and all that.
    Perhaps a promotor might give a ref the nod to pull a guy (say for example he is from Poland) out of a world title fight (say at the O2) without consulting a doctor thus protecting the champ (say he's welsh) from taking any more plumb shots to his mooey and avoiding the risk of having the shortest reign since King Louis XIX.

    Oh of course - that scenario was purely fictitious - I mean as if that would ever happen!

    LaMotta/Fox

    Lulu Perez TKO2 Willie Pep

    Escalera/Everett

    Are definite fixes

    I suspect Ramirez/WhitakerI and Coggi/GonzalesI were also fixed.

    Depends on your exact definition of fix imo. "Fix" as in judges and ref are swayed & pressurised towards a certain outcome? Rather often. Fixed as in one guy knows and decided to "dive" yeah sometimes. Fixed as in both guys are in on it, very rarely

    IMO
