Why is it that boxers never get the benefit of the doubt when being knocked out?

one look at the lounge will tell you that this forum loves conspiracy theories.

 

You need to look at context. Take Ryan Garcia. I wouldn't say it was a dive as much as him just not wanting to continue. Look at the knock down again. It's curious that Garcia stood up like nothing once the ref waved the fight off. Now, if he had stayed on one knee and his corner helped him back to the corner, he probably wouldn't have been as heavily critisized. Just an all around bad look.

 

cos some folk are no stupid and can see when they are diving look at lucas brown and david allen they are divers well allen is no diver but he is involved in other folk diving look at dorian darch he says hit me again

 

Yep. Ryan made a business decision. I'm not gonna hate on him for it and hold it over his head for his career, but that's what it was.

 

Is it really hard to believe that people would allow themselves to get punched or “knocked out” for a few million?

Canelo Kovalev was an obvious spar job

 

Yep. To me, a dive is someone taking money to lose. I don't think Garcia was paid to lose. But, he definitely tucked tail and quit once he realized he ran out of answers for Tank.
