It was a perfect punch, and why the hell would DLH take a dive with the MW belt on the line. As far as someone saying it was funny how DLH signed Bhop following that fight, he also signed SSM and is involved with Mayweathers promotional company, DLH knows a moneymaker when one beats him.
Did DLH throw the fight against Bhop?

I wish I could find the video with the dubbing of Oscar whining on the canvas
& frankly I don't give a **** whether he threw the fight or not. I never really liked Oscar.Comment

that was a well placed left hook, DLH didn't see it coming, he was trying to duck out the way of a right hand that he thought was following the jab that was just throw.
seriously guys the fight wasn't throw, DLH didn't throw the fight there was no fix, because if that were the case, you're trying to tell me that a man as rich as DLH is going to throw a fight? for what? money? win on his sports bet? grow up, fights that are throw are long shots, or politics behind it, not in a fight that if DLH did win, would have made him a great.
Hopkins was way bigger in stature and in way better condition, DLH was fighting at a weight where his body was soft, he didnt see the punch, and hopkins had weight and momentum on the punch.
a shock to the body is crippling, period.
i have to laugh at all these internet tough guys, " that wasn't a hard shot" coming from couch potato who has probably never been hit there. " he hit his arm, wasn't even a clean punch " that isnt what i saw, just like the telecast crew saw and the replays showed. " he hit him with his wrist ", well then, even if he did, which he didn't, he didn't get to turn it over, but it was still effective, obviously, and not to forget the fact that roy jones knocked down calzaghe with a wrist shot, did that knock down not count?
i could see if there was some obstruction of view to where some of these laughable claims were made, but replay after replay with slow motion clearly show that was a legit body shot that DLH was stopped by.
and for those who think that one has to act a certain way when knocked down or out form a body shot, think again, watch johnny tapia's ko loss to sandro marcos, tapia was crawling around on the floor on his hands and kness in a panic like he was dying, he went into a straight panic, it was shocking to see........Last edited by deuce_drop; 03-23-2010, 03:03 AM.Comment

yes.
the bigger draw , more popular fighter that makes more money usually takes a dive against a boring fighter no one gives a **** about.Comment

As soon as this happened the whole house erupted with bull**** this and he took a dive, the fight was fixed, etc, because at this point in DLH's career, he's pretty much set and if you really know about DLH you know he's about his money. Having Hopkins join him in his venture shortly after didn't help either. Boxing is a sport and a business.Comment

He may have quit as Hopkins was taking over, and it would hardly be the first time a fighter (especially one who's already achieved a lot, as opposed to someone on the rise looking to make his name) basically said to hell with it.
But in terms of it being some pre-arranged thing, I don't think so.Comment
