    The truth can be rather ugly. Perhaps some don’t want to see it though it's fairly obvious. I'm sure there are more than we would want to know.

    People actually believe this is a fix?

    Why ?
    The bounce off the ropes makes it look even more staged, like a wrestling set up.

    Could be.
    There's no really convincing evidence that it isn't.

    expect that Sharkey was KOd in the most brutal fashion possible.

    Not really.
    Obviously when faking a KO, that's precisely the impression they aim to give. But it could easily have been faked.

    The punch was clearly a push, no power at all, it didn`t connect clean at all.

    The burden of proof is on those who wants to prove that it was a fix, not the other way around. Otherwise we should be sceptical about every single result in every single fight.

    In a wrestling set up both parties are in on the fake.

    In a boxing set up usually only one party knows.

    Even if both fighters were in on it, that would be an almost impossible punch to stage.

    It was a fluke pure and simple.

    It's so clear that majority of this site believes it was a legit KO.

    Those punches didn`t land clean.
