    i don't think any of Tysons fights were fixed, but i do believe some of his opponents faked it, like seldom and Etienne

    To be fair, Walcott had refereed other big fights before, including at least one world championship fight.

    I think fights have been fixed in favour of fighters who would have been highly expected to win anyway. It's better to be safe than sorry.

    I think at least 50% of fights have some sort of 'unfair advantage' built in. At least 50%, pehaps closer to 100%. I think unbiased officials are rare, referees, judges etc. Neutral promoters are probably non-existent. Equal treatment to the fighters is almost unheard of.
    Ratings are fixed. The sanctioning bodies are thoroughly corrupt - their rules and decisions are not based on fair play.
    Fighters' records are misleading.
    We just accept this stuff.
    The whole thing is rigged, let's face it.

    It's "for entertainment purposes only". :good
