IN your opinion was Oscar De La Hoya vs Bernard Hopkins rigged?

[borikua]

Fix or not, it was one of the worst and most boring fights I have ever paid for...

There are many things that makes one believe it was a fix, like Oscar saying b4 the fight that he’s trying to do "the impossible" and his Academy Award performance when he got hit...But we will never know…

If I had to choose one theory I would say that he just decided to quit and collect his paycheck…

If you have watched enough fights and been in the gym enough you know that the way Oscar acted is pretty consistent with how people act when they have taken a shot to the liver. You can still easily move your arms but the rest of your body says "**** this ****, we're done". I've seen a guy try to get up crawling around the ring after taking a body shot. He just couldn't get up. I do think that Hopkins and De La Hoya had a side bet on the fight If hopkins won he got to be partner in Golden Boy Promotions...if he lost the golden boy got to give him his golden rod.

Dont forget that Oscar was rolling around like a pig in mud as well.

Absolutely not. De La Hoya was and is in a position to become one of the richest men in the history of boxing, and throwing a fight to Hopkins could have destroyed all of that. There was very little, if anything, to be gained by taking a dive, and there was a whole lot to lose.

I was just thinking that they agreed to let de la hoya look decent in the early rounds...and hopkins would play easy until it was time

God Jones possibly had one of the best left hooks ever in the sport of boxing.
