    Liakhovich took a dive like Anders Eklund took a dive against Witherspoon, and Simon Brown took a dive against Vincent Pettway, and Ingemar Johansson took a dive against Patterson and Buster Drayton took a dive against Julian Jackson.

    And people seem to have Audley Harrison taking a dive against Wilder but not against all the Brits who stopped Audley. What on earth makes you think Wilder needed "an agreement" to knock out Audley Harrison?

    Seriously. Harrison was knocked out in one round six months before that against Price. Was that a dive, too? Was that an agreement, too?

    Jesus Christ, you don't read. It was the scream of terror at the realization that he was actually going to be hit.

    And Wilder needed the dive whereas the Brits didn't because "the Brits" can actually fight, unlike Wilder who is basically a fraud.

    Brilliant.

    So, screaming in terror before getting stopped is BRITISH CODE FOR A FIX and that's what CONVINCED YOU an agreement was been made?

    What does getting flattened for a nine count in round 12 and saying you were unconscious until your head bounced off the floor and woke you up ... MEAN?

    What kind of an agreement was that? I'm not British, so I apparently haven't been notified of all the codes.

    Troll.

    He definitely admitted to the dive, having said that, I haven't watched the fight in years.He's on camera saying he basically took a dive, from memory.

    Lucus "is it the towel next round" Browne taking a dive against Dave Allen. Allen's latest fight also looked like a dive and numb nuts was talking about the money he had on it ending on the third round.

    Vitali Klitschko-Orlin Norris was almost as bad.

    The video cuts off, but Norris just starts smiling at the end.

    It is obvious that Audley was shocked that he was about to be hit.

    And obvious that you are a buffoon. You still think Wilder is going to win a rematch, so everything that you say is foolish by definition.

    I still think you might be Deontay Wilder. Or maybe Marsellos Wilder, or something. I am just going to start calling you Marsellos.

    I'd bet Elisha Obed took a powder against Dagge, but out of defiance and not for a cash payoff.
    Count me in on both Ali-Liston fights.
    I always thought James Scott put the cuffs on himself against Qawi at Rahway for a shot at a quicker parole.
    Betting there are hundreds out there we don't know about. I know Tom Prater dived against Bernardo Mercado because his manager told me about it. Tony Gardner told me he threw a fight against Fighting Jim Richards as a favor to Teddy Brenner who wanted to try and push Richards. I'm sure it goes on and on and on. Probably would depress us if we knew.
