Solid proof of Malik Scott taking a dive. Picture of him winking.

    if they wanted to fix it he wouldn't need to wink they would just agree on a round for him to go down or just say that he will at some point

    After watching it I don`t know how many times already, I am sure that was a legit ... dive. So sad. The Bronze Bomber is gonna get brutally exposed if he fights Arreola. He has more chances against Stiverne, although I believe Bermane is winning again against Chris. That`s what GBP are hoping for.

    I cant believe this bs is still going. If he was going to take a dive and it was planned beforehand, why would he even bother winking?
    Its like that whole Haye "now" thing with Harrison.

    stylewise stiverne matches up with Wilder better but, remember stiverne did take arreola's best punches for 10 rounds or was it 12? also do we really know if Wilder is actually a better puncher than arreola?

    I'm not someone who supports conspiracy theories, but in this case you're right.
    I'm hoping this is just coincidence.

    It won't be the first sport being destroyed by Fight-fixing.

    The left hook knocked his head, you can see moisture flying off his head in the replay.

    But it was probably a dive.

    I hate calling a fight fixed but I have to say it on this one.

    Nod/wink = "Be ready"/"Here it comes"/"ACTION".

    Without such timing they could mess it to look even less believable, especially if they need to get stoppage for specific round and time starts to run out.

    The thing is, even in the off chance it wasn't, it's going to come off as a blatant dive to anyone outside of the most hardcore of hardcore fans willing to believe otherwise. People just aren't going to put in the work to try and build a case that the fight was on the level when it looks that obviously bad.

    Somebody needs to go and watch the whole fight in slow mo hd 720 and see if there is any other time in the fight he "flinched" or "winked", for those saying it was a flinch, well surely, if that is his habit, then it would be something we see at other points, however, if not, its more evidence that its a deliberate wink.

    I don't know if its a dive. If I had to bet money one way or another, I would bet yes, it is a dive, he got paid. But I don't say that with certainty.

    This is only conjecture. The bag thing before the fight was weird as hell. THAT was actually when I first thought about a fix. Grab your popcorn, he wrote on the bag. As in movies, fiction? Also the bag immediately made me think of shame. Bag over head = ashamed of actions. What did the bag say on the back?

    Yes I know I am reaching deep into the well of conspiracy. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Its ok to vet out your process of thinking that is what we do here.

    The punches did not look like much. Neither of them. Yes that could be misleading but you take that evidence along with the "wink" and Al Haymon / Showtime weirdness in so many fights, and Wilder and Scott's friendship, and what Wilder stood to gain here, the LACK of serious questions from the Showtime crew (not that they were in on it, but the lack of questions shows me they know where their bread is buttered), and the fact that Scott did seem to be totally clear headed all the way down and all the way half up, that that looked forced and fake, and the fact that he is nowhere in the media now.....

    At the same time maybe its just created something out of nothing. That is also possible.

    So you have a punch that APPEARED not to be very powerful and a reaction to a punch that APPEARED to show WHAT WE SAW, which is that the punch was not very powerful. And you have guys saying, well the dude is 6ft8 so the power is so great he may not need much leverage, and then well the reaction to an equilibrium shot won't daze the eyes, he will remain clear.

    So yes that **** sounds spin doctory as f u c k. You want me to believe that a punch that appeared to have VERY LITTLE SIGNIFICANCE and a reaction to that punch that also illustrated that the recipient of the punch appeared to take NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, was somehow a ONE KO punch?? And WORSE you want me to believe it without even questioning it and get mad when I do? If you don't work for Golden Boy, you should.

    The argument, lets see you take the same shot from Wilder is silly. Are you saying Wilder would clock out random ESB posters and then the ESB posters would also keep all their faculties in tact like Scott did? :rofl


    Its tough to believe in a one punch KO with weak evidence of power on the shot from the punch thrown nor the reaction to the punch thrown.

    Hopefully those that are convinced this was a LEGIT KO can at least SEE the other side of the argument. I can still see it possibly being legit. I simply strongly doubt it.

    Does a 238lbs heavyweight get knocked senseless from a slap after having been one of the chief sparring partners for the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Lennox Lewis and more?

    And with his past durability shown against the likes of Chisora?

    His pre-fight demeanor was suspicious, his post-fight behaviour is even moreso suspicious, look at all the retweets on his twitter account, look at his nonchalant attitude in the videos with a certain youtube "journalist".

    I'm not saying he was paid to take a dive, I am saying he took a BLATANT DIVE, whether it be betting on Deontay KO1 or getting paid off, I wouldn't know.. but he dove, make no mistake.

    It doesn't look good for Malik.

    But my post wasn't about what you in particular were saying.
