    I mean the two combatants would be noticed to carry one another. One may be KOed, but clearly was just acting...

    The KO in Jeremy Williams vs David Bostice looked really fake

    How about ODLH against Bhop? First time Oscar got KOed, only on one punch...

    I don't think Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon was pre-arranged. But Seldon was so scared and low on confidence, that he just wanted to get the fight over with and collect his money.

    There may have been some fights involving Tim Anderson that were fixed. One was on the USA network. He later murdered his manager.

    that fight was a joke. There is no way that hye wasn't throwing that fight. The first time he goes down it looks like it's off a jab.

    This month I saw Solis Vs Van Sickle.... man that fight was fixed... and Van Sickle would even spoil a kids pleasure if he would try to act in Sesamestreet. He is a louzy actor

    The heavyweights are the most corrupt weight class by far; that's where the biggest bucks are laid.
    Remember Ali's phantom punch ?
    Ali Norton 3.
    Seldon's dive.
    King and his stable oh HWS in the earlies 80's, with the dodgy scorings and refereeing .
    Foreman carrying Morrisson.
    Wlad's possible poisonning vs Brewster.
    Oquendo going down with the first punch thrown by Holy.
    The danish pastry joke title defences, all of them.

    I remember after the KO there was speculation about the way he fell and the way he was holding the back of his head...

    ...I haven't had a chance to study it though...

    Mike Dokes v Mike Weaver 1

    Caesars Palace , Las Vegas NV...

    Referee Joey Curtis... fight stopped very prematurely...

    In the book the black lights Curtis almost admits the fight being staged...

    More likely the Ray Austin KO was a dive
