    Sharmba Mitchell vs Kostya Tyzu 1: sharmba hella faked that injury...he was bouncing up and down just fine on his leg all night till that beating caught up with him

    Kermit Cintron vs Paul Williams: I can't believe no one ever brings this up but Cintron intentionally JUMPED out of the ring, on top of faking the injury when he landed...even the replay shows his knees bending and him springing between the ropes

    B-Hop vs Chad Dawson 1: this was just sad

    Bernard jumping out of the ring in the first Robert Allen fight was kind of suspect.

    Saw an espn fight a year or two ago where a no-name fighter pretended that he couldn't continue after taking a grazing low blow. Looked like he thought he was going to win by dq too. Can't remember the details though.

    It didn't end the fight, but John Ruiz's acting job against Kirk Johnson was pathetic. The DQ was too much, Cortez was too harsh on Johnson. Ruiz was pulling Kirk's head down for a lot of those low blows and the final low blow was borderline anyway

    Bowe faking a Golota nut shot to get him DQ. Not saying that he hadn't had his eggs well scrambled before that, but you could almost see the lightbulb go off in Bowe's head.

    For me, it was Bobby Czyz in his fight vs. Holyfield.

    Czyz wanted out. The audio picked up Czyz complaining about his back, his corner man quipped " if I say it's your eyes, it's your eyes! " Hillarious, then Czyz corner accused Holyfield of putting something on his gloves during the interview. The Gloves were examined. Nothing was found.

    Czyz was doing OK up to a certain point and then Holy started taking over ... maybe he saw that there was no way he could win ...

    Luis Santanta v. Terry Norris
    Juan Coggi v. Frankie Randall

    The travesty is that both were rewarded for their fakery with "wins"

    Try telling the above to the cretinous Dino. At best you will be labelled an idiot, but if he is really on one, you will be labelled a racist for suggesting that Bowe's conduct was anything less than perfect in both those fights.
