    I've been looking for a book on boxing, but I don't know if I want my first one to be a book that ridicules the sport so much.

    I mean damn. It's already in a bad state as it is. Why do people need to stomp it while it's down?

      Wow. I suspect stuff like this but this seems to blow the lid off. Incredible. I'm interested who this champ was that he refers to that was fixed to lose.

        I'd like to know on what level these fixed fights were going on.

            It's not an issue of "stomping it while it's down." What Keith Terceira is looking to do is to draw attention to the nefarious elements of the sweet science so as to shine a light on these issues. He is looking to reform it, not to degrade it. Would you prefer a book that was ignorant to the topics that Terceira is tackling and then have thrown fights and people dying every other week from tainted medical records?

              “99 percent of Boxing is not sport, it is no better than pro wrestling including scripted bouts, payoffs and commissions that need to be investigated” Terceira commented via phone. “ It’s amazing how easy it was to get inside the business and how trusting people are even when they know what they are doing is unethical, illegal or immoral”

              Mmmmmmm Hmmmmmm.

              So I take it Graham took a dive against Jackson?

                No way, that right hand was lights out. You don't get hit by Julian Jackson flush with your chin in the air and decide consciously you want to sit it out.
