    Stiverne did get nuked, but he never had an interest in being there. He took that L before he stepped in the ring and he knew it.

    Yeah i do agree with that. He knew he couldnt beat the guy when he was at his best so he didnt believe in his own changes. But its not same as taking a dive

    If anybody says Ali vs. Liston II (as in, positing that no punch landed or that multiple parties that may or may not include Ali himself were in on a predetermined 'fix', as opposed to Sonny just bottling it himself in the moment and finding a soft comfy spot on the canvas) or JMM vs. Likar Ramos, they're getting their ass kicked. :rosstheboss

    Holyfield Valuev was just a sparring session.
    Valuev admitted they were just paid by Don King to dance around without hurting each other.
