Throwing fights

i'll need to watch it again but i'm pretty sure hatton had been working the body over leading up to the KO. it seemed like he had weakend JLC beforehand as far as i remember.

 

that apparent reason was lewis' punches ricocheting off his face

 

Why would oscar throw that fight??

MONEY/?NOOOOO he got 100's of millions of that..

Cant see any other reason why a fighter of oscars pedigree would throw a fight and suffer another L on his pro record.

Im sure oscar would of loved to have Hopkins name on his win sheet.

 

I would bet everything I had that De La Hoya could of won the fight against Mayweather if he tried even a little. For my it looked like Hoya was holding everything back and didn't even try to win.

 

Don't be redicilous. De La Hoya did nothing to that whole entire fight.:roll:

 

Lewis landed some nice right hands. They made Tua tenative.

It's no coincidence that Lewis's right hand can make guys more careful when they try to get inside.

 

I maybe wrong, however from memory i thought Tyson vs Seldon looked very suspicious.

 

I don't know if you would call this the modern era, but the one fight where it was clear to me the fighter had thrown the fight was Jerry Quarry vs. Lorenzo Zanon. It was a comeback fight for Quarry. Zanon outboxed him over the first 8 rounds of a 10 round fight. In the ninth, Zanon went down and out from a powderpuff right. It was clear to me he had taken a dive.

 

I don't know, from what I've seen of Zanon, it didn't take much to put him on his ass.

He had some of the most humorous knockdowns.

 

Really? I know he wasn't exactly a sturdy oak. Maybe not. It looked very shady to me at the time.

 

Yea I was suspect after the Tyson fight when he took out his mouthpeice, however when he fought Calvin Brock after being knocked down he took out his mouthpeice each time so it seems thats just a messed up reaction that he does when getting kd'd?
