****, i tell it the last time: he tells his friends to bet on 3rd round ko, this is a scam because as i said before he's in the ****ing ring and he can juggle the score (he didn't say "i'm gonna win, bet on me", he pick the round when he's gonna win), especially when he fights agains a total can like harrison...
I see the difference perfectly well. But it IS a prediction. There is no guarantee. He could get in the ring and find his opponent 10x tougher than he thought, he could get ktfo. See? It's a prediction.
This is different. Haye picked Harrison for this fight (voluntary defense). Harrison desperately needed this fight and payday that came with it. There is enough suspicion of a collusion/undue influence as is even without betting comments on top of it.
I think there is enough here to at the very least warrant an investigation over it. I have no idea what the laws are like in England, only that betting on fights is second nature and even the fight announcers often give odds on a round by round baises. We likely have a difference of how cultures views this sort of betting. In Canada, betting on your own fight (or saying you did after the fight) would very likely result in an investigation.
**** me dead. naseem hamed before every bloody fight would publicly declare what round he was going to lay his opponent out in. he was right a fair few times. tarver bet old man nard 250k he'd ko him in the first six rounds. this sort of **** has been going on for years.
no he couldn't. Ismael Abdoul is the Marion Wilson of the CW division. this comment is hard to interpret, it has nothing to do with the topic or what Haye said.....
I don't think that david haye letting the fight go until the third round based on his prediction is rigging. However those three gestures the knoding of the head, wink of the eye and then saying now all in one motion surely indicate to there being some rigging more so than not.
