I don't think you take a hit like that when you're throwing a fight. Now Bruce Seldon, he threw the fight against Tyson. This was just an instance where Etienne quit.

No way was that fight a fix. I have seen it and that right he lays him out with is baaad.
There are times when fighters kneel down after being Kd, and just remain there.... but they are fully conscious of their surroundings and know that they could quite easily get back up.
But its not about that. Its about reducing the chance of brain damage, and the advice coming from your corner....
IMO a 100% fair fight...Comment

He removes his mouthpeice before going "to sleep".

Either that, or he realized that Tyson was going to catch him even worse if he got up. He either threw the fight, or was scared to death. I'd say scared.Comment
