    Yes it's a show.

    They will never admit to it, but most of the 'hardcore' fans prefer the drama & storylines surrounding fights than the fight its self. Hence why most of them tweet constantly even during rounds when the bloody action is ongoing.

    Gareth Davies scored it for Golovkin.

    So that leaves Golden Boy associates and Mexicans.

    A lot of these big boxing events in vegas are definitely fixed, its the same BS judges all the time, u have to KO the home guy (Canelo in this case) to win or else totally and i mean totally dominate (even then that is not always enough)

    Quite ironic, I made Don king a playable character in one of my total extreme wrestling games. He was well booked and had his own show; Don king Superfights. He would get access to debuts and other special segments. Produced the first ever Hogan vs Flair match and got a 100/100 rating. woohoo, Don King was good for wrestling.

    Anyway, now it does feel more like WWE. Well, when the shady stuff creeps up it does. Canelo would be the franchise player in Total extreme wrestler and when we get to the booking screen we see that the protect Canelo box is checked, take a rest is checked, keep strong is checked, burial might be checked as well, at least it would have been on that tragic card. Could talk more but I'm sure everybody is bored.

    Teddy Atlas needs to relax. Wouldn't want to see him drop dead, that intense I love you is one of the funniest things I've seen today though.
