    Seldon probally knew b4 the fight he was going to get KTFO anyways, so he talked to mike and said he was going to go down for him.

      What a gutless turd. This fight, set up or not, was a joke. Even Mike knew it.

          A memorable event outside of the ring happened that night though, still being felt worldwide.

              Actually, that is very possible.

                I had forgotten all the rumors.

                They said Vegas was a pay-off town.

                ..So if it could happen there, it could happen anywhere.

                But then I heard it would have taken the cooperation of over 2 dozen law enforcement and emergency response agency's to pull it off.

                    I don't think this fight was fixed at all. Seldon lost this fight before he entered the ring. He was scared out of his mind & it showed. If I remeber correctly after the fight when Tyson was interviewed, he said something to the effect that he can't make these fighters fight him; meaning that he thought that Seldon was giving up.

                      "Exactly my point. He never went down from a punch in that fight and it's really sad. You can't tell me that a 33-3 heavyweight champion (losing only to Tubbs, Bowe, and McCall) was THAT scared. If you watch both knockdowns, he FLIES down (practically jumps) face first onto the canvas, acting like it was from a forceful punch. He was clearly acting"

                      Michael Spinks had much greater credentials than Seldon, and if you look at him before the fight he was just as scared. Some of Tyson's opponents completley froze when they fought him. Seldon also had a glass jaw, Jose Ribalta knocked him face-down for almost a 10 count in the with the first punch in his fight with Seldon. This was not a "fix", it was a superior fighter completley destroying an inferior one.
