Matches that seems fixed.

The only one that seemed somewhat suspicious was Hopkins-De La Hoya, and even in that one, I find it highly more likely that Oscar simply quit b/c the bigger guy was taking over and getting to him than a pre-arranged outcome. Much has been said about Richardson yelling "body shot", but he says that quite a bit during fights anyway.

 

Oscar/B-hop always made me wonder, not too long after that Hopkins was one of the first to sign with golden boy. Even if it was fixed theres no way in hell Oscar could ever beat Hopkins, and he knew it either way.

 

Mayorga got up and was stopped on his feet.

Why would the public demand a 3rd fight?

Pac already won twice by wide margins, and the rematch was a let-down.

 

Ali-Liston 2 the phantom punch...I have watched it a thousand times and it still reeks to this day, 42 years later..:-(

 

Everett/Escarlera

Whitaker/RamirezI

And of course Lulu Perez/Willie Pep saw Pep banned for the rest of his career from fighting in New York.

 

Gavin Rees versus Lovermore N'Dou seemed fixed to me. Anyone else?

I wouldn't say FIXED is the word. But I would say that Liston realized he couldn't win and the fight was out of him. He didn't want to be there. And he gave up.

Hopkins-DLH is another dive example I think. That seemed too WWE for me

 

Pac JMM I. If there ever was a fix, it was that one. 115-110 for two score cards and then a 'scoring error' by a judge for the draw?

 

Golota/Ruiz. Golota knocked Ruiz down twice, got another point deduction when Ruiz pulled some illegal move, and landed more punches - and yet, somehow, he "lost" the decision! atsch

 

Say a fighter lands 15 more punches in 5 rounds that he won and the other fighter lands just 5 more in 7 rounds that he won.


More rounds won = Win


1 big round doesn't mean ****

 

Gavin Rees never fought Lovemore Ndou.

Lennox Lewis-Evander Holyfield I should of never been a draw and Steve Forbes-Demetrius Hopkins was also a judging robbery.

 

Surprised nobody has mentioned that Tito had already had Mayorga for breakfast before he fought Oscar. But, regardless, that hook was beautiful and is knocking anyone down, including Mayorga. Pac-Mab 2 was in no way staged, and no way the public has an outcry for a rematch. Floyd vs. Oscar was to me another case of Oscar fading down the stretch, with the exception of Vargas, he's done that quite a bit.
