    Not really. That guy is alwats yelling **** out at Hopkins' fights. He was urging Hopkins to go to the body. It turned out to be good advice. Let's not try to out think ourselves. What would Oscar have to gain by taking a dive? The answer is nothing.

    The body shot did look a bit tame, so i would be open to a conspiracy. What puzzled me more tho was why Oscar kept his arms high up on Mayweather's shoulders between rounds. Anyone know why???

    Oscar went down from a body shot, that didn't seem to be the most devastating of punches, and responded in a fashion that was highly unusual of what we normally see during body shot knockdownw/knockouts, moments after someone just so happens to scream for body shots. Whether or not the fix was in (like I implied by co-signing the previous poster, I don't think it was a dive job) that was an extremely strange occurrence.

    Reaction to bodyshot was normal...Oscar wasnt screaming he was gasping for air, similary like Cintron against Margo.

    But that freak screaming "bodyshot, bodyshot..Oscar Oh" was realy strange.
    Reminds me of one movie "snake eye" I think, where some dude screamed to let fighters know when to take a dive.:rasta

    These two look very similar. The only difference is that Hoya does a half roll on the ground. Also, that left hook to the body(the first one is the one that probably did it) landed pretty solid.

    If you get shot in the leg,you can still roll and move but can't get up,does that mean you don't wana get up?

    Not that similar at all, DLH rolls on the floor and has plenty of ability to move his entire Body, Cintron couldnt even get up, he was paralized thats the difference, had DLH been hit with a real body shot like that he would not have rolled around on the floor that way.

    Hell even your hero Floyd Mayweather Jr said Oscar took a dive in that fight.

    Exactly. Again, I had an internal organ disintegrate within my body. I was still able to roll on the ground, but had trouble standing up.
