    Catchweights for titles. Fixed fights. Boxing getting more corrupt?

    Seriously there's a line, it has been treaded on and now fighters are walking (all) over it.

    Catch weights for titles ... Fixed fights ... Refusal to better drug testing ... ... plasters in boxing gloves ... steroids. Is boxing getting more corrupt? Yes or NO.

    aint ***** changed.

    leonard/Lalonde 1988.

    was no fixed fights over the weekend.

    no one got busted for roids but that ***** has been around for 40 years at least.

    but if you want maybe we can go back to the days where the Mafia controlled boxing, yeah, the glory days where fights were fixed on the regular and certain guys wouldn't get title shots, etc. etc etc

    boxing maybe ****ed up but it's came a long way from that.

        harrison is just a terrible fighter, I don't know what people expected there.

        my friend called me and asked me what I thought about the fight cuz he wanted to bet on it, I said, "harrison is horrible, haye by 3rd round KO" sure enough.

        it wasn't hard to predict a shutout.

            I don't think it is possible for boxing to get more corrupt than in the past.

            The corruption has stayed relatively the same though.

                It's always been bad but now...ugh. I don't know. I really don't ****ing know anymore. When I look at the fans on this site, I wanna pull my hair out. Why would the product change if the consumer buys anyway?

                    I don't know how catch-weight for titles are corrupt but OK...

                    And, I don't think Haye-Harrison was fix either. It was just Haye his flamboyant self and said "now" and start throwing punches.

                    If the fight was fix for 3 rounds, they would of had it been known already before the fight started where Haye wouldn't have to say now.
