I was looking at the boxing lines at my sportsbook and this fight wasn't even listed. I don't know if this fight was fixed or not but it might as well of been a sparring session because Vegas didn't give a damn about this fight.
A possible motive is to spruce up the promotion for Pac/JMM 3. A lot of people are criticizing it because of the weight disparity at this point in their careers, and this fight can be used to "prove" that JMM can carry his speed/power up with him. (This is just a possibility)
Ramos could have also took a dive because he didn't want to take a beating. I don't know, but that didn't seem to be a punch that could knock someone out cold.
y would it be a setup? Marquez wanted a tuneup so he'd be at his best for Pac. Y not just not take the fight if it's gonna be a setup. Who benefits from Marquez KOing this guy in 1 rd
żBatter? Mmmm, NOT! It was a good shot & Marquez does have KO power(no doubt about that).. But this KO looked fake, it looked like the guy took a serious dive, Greg louganis style!! When a fighter gets KO'd to point of unconsciousness, they fall like a ton of bricks & hit the canvas hard & either land like their body was made of jelly or stiff like a dead body after it goes into rigamortis(like Paul Williams vs Martinez or Hatton vs Pacquiao), & that wasn't the case with Ramos cause he stumbled back & laid himself down on the canvas & then closed his eyes...To Me it just didn't look right, it looked more like an act & I'm a Marquez fan & I wish him the best vs Pacquiao, but the way this fight ended it didn't convince Me at all..& before anyone jumps into conclusions I'm not blaming Marquez, cause it looked more like Ramos just came in for an easy pay check & waited for Marquez to land a good punch to take the dive & leave with out a mark & the $$$$$...
