Does anyone think this fight is fixed?

[S0UTHPAW]

The way Barrett would back off when ever he landed a solid blow made me think the fight could have been fixed, or both just ****** REALLY bad this night. Either way they both have cuts and Don King said he hopes to make the fight by Dec!!!!!!!! I thought mid Nov was the cut off point?

Brock is still available, I hope VK can get a Sept match with Brock so he is not out for a full year.

The fight was very hard to score. Barrett threw very few punches with any bad intentions, his jab was lazy and he was holding way too much. Rahman wobbled Barret a few times, busted up his face and walked him down for most of the fight (because Barrett allowed him to walk him down.) Barrett even had Rahman hurt in the last round and did not jump on him. I think my score was not 119 because I gave two rounds to Barrett, must be 118 to whatever Barrett had either 110 or 111.

The fight was garbage. There was a moment in the fight when both of them stared at one another for like 25 seconds without throwing a single blow.

Barret had nothing left in his tank to jump on him.

I think this can be closely rated worse or as bad as the Ruiz vs Olquendo bout.

All I know is that Barret could have and should have won this fight! He had Hasbeen Hurt in the first round. All he had to do was let his hands go and he wins easily.

Atleast we got a knock out and Ruiz had the balls to step in and follow through when he saw his opponent hurt.

When Barrett and Rahman hurt each other it is like they hugged to console one another. I am surprised we didnt get some kisses on the cheek...The hardest blows will probably be thrown later tonight...

I wouldnt call it that bad, but not very far behind. This did not seem like a fight where two guys had a possible title shot on the line. Both guys seemed like they were very uneasy about hurting the other. I hate fights with close friends, they usually never amount to good fights.

Was there a chance that they pre-agreed not to KO each other?

This fight reminded me Brewster vs Meehan, albeit the latter had more action in it.
