Fights which you felt.....something weird was going on

[Porter's Dad]

Just read a couple of posts from a poster who is convinced that Golden Boy promoted fights are fixed, citing Hopkins' fights versus Pavlik and De La Hoya.

Now, while I don't necessarily agree that those particular fight were indeed fixed, because I don't see a motive or a reason for De La Hoya or Pavlik to throw the fights, it was kinda weird still the same - seeing Pavlik so out of it and standing there like a zombie, and seeing Oscar falling to the ground in that less than convinging way.

What fights do you think something weird might have been going on? Or even if there wasn't, things just seemed surreal.

I would add Pac vs DLH to the above mentioned fights, it just did not see real at times. There's a gif of DLH rocking back from a Pac punch, and it just doesn't seem right for some reason. Again, I dont think it was fixed, but things just looked odd.

Jerry Roth ****ed up De La Hoya big time against Trinidad... Crazy scoring.

yeah i felt weird watching the Pacman - DLH fight

a voice in the back of my head (put there by NSB no doubt) kept saying Oscar's just making it look good for the cameras so it will be all the more dramatic when he starts fighting in the 2nd half of the fight...... but the rounds just kept passing and oscar kept doing nothing........... it defies all logic but my immediate thought was that he'd thrown the fight

and i'm not a delusional Oscar fan...... i actually bet alot of points and a bit of money on Pac winning

Man that was seriously shady, on both sides too.

He went down on light or non existent taps, Rahman laughed and didn't really see the need to defend himself. Guy had his legs all night even after harder shots which he stood up to.

One of the worst.

Lately, Povetkin Taurus Sykes was pretty horrid.

There are too many to list, and some were proven to be fixed throughout history.

Even more stranger is that this guy has been in with pretty good opposition. Including, Ruiz, Mercer, Rahman, Donald, Barrett, and Brewster.

I can easily imagine this guy being used by promoters as a fixed record padder.
