Was Mayorga vs Hoya a fixed fight?

I have been having this argument with a few acquaintances of mines, that claim up and down that the Mayorga vs Hoya fight is a fixed fight, that the fight was rigged to begin with and that Hoya just paid off Mayorga to take a dive. I disagree wholeheartedly, but we will never see eye to eye. Now we have argued this, lets hear what everybody else here has to say.

Anybody who says this was a fixed fight either did not see the fight or knows nothing about boxing. Just watch the first round of the fight and watch the punched that downed Mayorga on slow motion. I watched it over and over and over in disbelief ... but it was one of those perfect punches coming straight out of a miss. After that punch Mayorga was not @ 100%. Same goes with the Tito fight, after he exposed his chin he was never again 100%.

i dont think it was fixed, but i was rather suprised to see mayorga get dropped so easily. that first left landed clean, but knowing how tough mayorga is, i was suprised to see him crumple to the mat just like that. i dont think it was fixed, but it seemed like de la hoya won a little too easily. i know de la hoya is THAT good, but i just dont know.

Why is it that every DLH fight is thought to be a fix ? :confused: DLH VS Whitaker,Quartey,Trinidad Mosley,Hopkins, Now Mayorga :confused: It's funny how that happens. I know a few people who insist every DLH fight is a fix in some form or other whether he wins or loses.

No chance. There was way too much animosity between them; DLH injured his hand which would be unnecessary if fixed; Tito had kicked Mayorga's ass already; he lost to Spinks on pts as Spinks is a boxer not puncer; +++ many other reasons.

it's cuz mayorga has good power but other then that he has very little skill . he swings wide is kinda slow for his weight whats he have that puts him at the level of the best :confused:

Mayorga just didn't train for shit. No way he should have gained 18 pounds overnight as he said he did. I didn't believe that, what he said was just a final attempt at intimidation.

I'm nicaraguan, and my brother & sister claimed that for weeks after the fight, I (just like you) don't see it. In my eyes it was the non-stop ass whuppin' that Tito gave him that damaged him & made him easy work for DLH, IMHO Mayorga just didn't have much left at all.
