    I don't know about fixed but Cintron's leap through the middle rope was really off.

      Wasn't an outright fix, but the way Khan-Barrera played out was rigged. MAB had blood spurting out of his head from about the second round, the doctor kept taking a look but doing nothing. Literally the second the fight has gone far enough for a technical decision - BAM the referee stops the fight without hesitation.

      Like I said, the cut itself isn't something you can rig, but once it happened it was blatantly fixed to avoid the NC and give a win to Khan.

            De La Hoya-Campas. Forgot about that one. I'm sure the bettors haven't though.

              I could understand that but what would be the point of Bernard winning that fight? How did Oscar benefit? Unless it was solely for Oscar to do business with Bernard weeks later...

                Of course Bernard was gonna win. No one would believe that he'd lose to De La Hoya, come on. But of course it was business with Oscar. Two weeks later, they announce their partnership? Did you watch the fight? Remember Hopkins talking to his corner before the ninth? Remember the body punch? Remember Hopkins playing games in the early rounds? That muthaphukka coulda knocked Oscar out the ring whenever he felt like it

                  delahoya hopkins-i will never believe that body shot was legit enough to knock anyone out

                  delahoya mayweather- playing pattycake the entire fight not trying to hurt each other till the last 5 seconds?

                  mayweather mosley-mosley hurts floyd badly then immediately falls into a coma and can only throw arm punches.

                    DLH-Hopkins was a close fight before that tapping bodyshot by Hopkins. I have never seen a weaker bodyshot than that. Who knows. Maybe DLH offered Hopkins the win and a nice job in GBP in return for a much bigger purse split. Although that sounds crazy because DLH was already rich as hell. I don't know, it could have been something else. Maybe DLH told Hopkins to go easy and make it a close fight in return he will take a dive in the 9th round. I'm not good at these conspiracy things. It could have been a real body. Who knows.
