so the guy who takes photos of him wearing women's underwear has too much pride to take a dive?

Originally posted by ßringer View PostTo be fair, Golovkin is a noted power puncher who landed a much more visibly (and audibly) devastating liver shot on Macklin than Hopkins did on De La Hoya. If the visual and audio from that shot (Golovkin's) didn't convince you of it's power, the way Macklin went down immediately like he'd been stabbed should've. Oscar's reaction to Bernard's liver punch was completely different in every aspect.
The shot had nothing on it and Oscar had never been hurt by a body shot before that in his career.
I call BS seeing as how right after that him and Bernard became business partners and Bhop hasn't scored a KO/TKO against anyone else since that, including Roy Jones' china chinned ghost.

I remember watching this fight as a child and he definitely did want out of the fight. That knockout was hella phony looking. Of course he was exhausted, but I definitely have seen enough of the sport to know when someone had their legs and everything taken from them by a bodyshot and the way Oscar reacted just doesn't pass the smell test.Last edited by Biolink; 08-23-2013, 12:06 PM.

it certainly looks dodgy but i don't think it made sense for oscar to dive. he was the money man and the underdog, so logically if anyone was going to be paid to throw the fight in that situation it would have been hopkins.
