Fights that looked fixed to you

I saw a Butterbean fight on USA Network that was 100% fixed. I'm saying he missed all his punches and the guy went down and stayed down.

 

Frank Bruno beating Gerrie Coetzee looked highly suspicious. It was well known that a deal was in place for Tim Witherspoon to come to London to defend his title against Bruno and the way that Coetzee went down and stayed down even though the punch that landed on him didn’t even seem that powerful just confirmed to me that the Witherspoon fight was already signed and sealed before Bruno and Coetzee even set foot in the ring.

 

The walkover fights are a bit of a gray area. Its similar to college football and basketball here in the states. You want a few gimmes early to sure up things and work on what you are doing in practice. However when the opponent gives no effort and flops on the first flurry it gives the prospect nothing and the fans zero entertainment.

 

I always thought Jerry Quarry's TKO of Lorenzo Zanon seemed a little fishy.

 

I was at that fight,I think it was a legit ko.
Coetzee was badly shaken by the 1 st KD, took another heavy right without going down .and was backed into the ropes by a series of jabs,then Bruno caught him with a right cross that landed around the temple area.He was down and imo he was out of it!
One observation at 232.75lbs Coetzee looked a bit flabby to me I don't think there was much ambition left in him.
He weighed 218 for Greg Page, and 213 lbs for Mike Dokes.

This is terrible. I wonder if he just really had to poop so he faked it (kind of like what might have happened to Duran against Leonard II).

 

He made Neilson look stupid before he quit.

 

Beat me to it mate. Briggs should never have been licensed to fight, a lotta people made a lotta money in that one.

 

Hopkins KO'd Oscar Fishnets LEGITIMATELY
Mayweather should have been DQ'd against Ortiz

 

Michael Dokes-Lynn Ball final knockdown looked fishy.

 

I just pulled it up on YouTube. I think it's the first time I've seen it since it originally aired on the Benitez - Duran undercard. Looks legit to me. Ball was already shaky after the first two knockdowns (1st erroneously ruled a slip) and that final knockdown was a nice right to the chin.

 

Maybe I missed it, but it looked strange initially. Plus I always felt Dokes got a little more special home cooking from Don King, but he was a very good fighter at one point. Just looked like Lynn went down too easily.

 

I will start off by saying I had interest in this, as my Dad bet on it. But the Tyson/Pinky Thomas under/over was three rounds. My old man put a decent amount on the under...

Prime Tyson badly hurts a Thomas possibly at his drugged damaged worse in the first, and yet Thomas survives unscathed in rounds two through five...

 

Clay vs. Liston, either, but definitely the second one...

 

I don't know about fixed, but I know what you mean. Seemed to start out good, caught Floyd with a good shot, then, did absolutely nothing after that. It was if he didn't know how to behave in a big fight or something, (after all his fights?)... I thought Shane had a chance against Mayweather too. Very disappointing performance....
