    Dude got tapped and went down - fight looked fake to me. Probably wasn't but looked it all the same.

    If a boxer went down from that we'd be hearing "omg its fixed" "boxing is so corrupt" but apparently its not an issue. I'm not saying that, Forrest just had no chin.

    I'm tempted to tell you to go do some ironing or something because that's a crazy statement right there :lol: , Silva just made it look EASY because he's that far AHEAD of everyone else in the game, none of the other pound for pound fighters can do what he does, not Fedor, not Gsp, not Machida etc because the man simply has so much more flair in his arsenal than the others, if this fight was "fixed" then what about his fights against Franklin x2, Lebon and Irvin? they were basically the same kind of schoolings as the one he put on tonight.

    That was the most embarrassing fight I have ever seen. The way Forrest was KOed and it looked like Anderson just put out his arm and forrest ran into his fist and go down, and simply wave "I'm done".

    that was exactly how I thought the fight would be,, forrest a dumb brawler with heart going against a power and skill guy in syliva,, sylvia looked like roy jones jr in there, he clowned forrest and even offered to help him up once lol

    It did look fishy at the end. :lol:

    I think Griffins punch resistance has just completely gone though.

    It did look fake but of course Silva totally ****ing raping him the minute before that makes you relize that Forrest was just done even before. Silva couldve finished him on the ground but he stood up looking for a dramatic and violent standing KO not sure he expected a jab KO though. I always felt Forrests chin was pretty weak but I figured he could atleast handle a couple shots from the smaller guy. Another thing is him running away is there a bigger baby after he loses then Forrest ? He crys and swears after Jardine KOs him now he just literally runs away, thats like elementry school crap right there.

    It was never really that good, just go watch the Jeremy Horn fight.

    You can't compare the beat downs Silva gave to Franklin and Leben and that huge cut he gave Irvin.

    I think Forrests chin is so bad now that he just could'nt help but make the fight look fishy at the end. :lol:

    That punch SIlva threw at the end was accurate but with the same sort of snap as the one Kimbo got dropped by against Seth. :lol:

    I just feel embarrased for Grifin.

    Didn't look the least bit fake to me. Loved the instinctive "I don't want no more" hands raised gesture Forest made while lying flat on his back once he went down the final time.
