It's not about respect. It's about being objective. & as another user said so well "I watched Robert Deniro cry in raging bull after he threw the fight also, but the fight was still fixed."

I've already explained about LaMotta. The guy threw a fight, paid off the mob, and got a shot at a world title. I could argue that De Niro/LaMotta was crying in Raging Bull because he knew he was cheating, or that he knew the mob was gonna whack him if he didn't throw the fight. The circumstances are completely different.

I mean, if you want to discredit Canelo (not saying that you were) that's fine and dandy, but don't make it like Angulo wasn't in there trying. Saying he threw the fight isn't being objective at all. His actions in the ring prove the exact opposite.

Yeah he was trying... Trying to put on a convincing performance that what we just saw was a legitimate loss. Not even close to the guy we saw put Lara on the brink of losing & knocking him on his a$$ twice. Not even close. I just see it as a bad acting job by El Perro. You are totally missing the point. It's no disrespect to Canelo or discrediting. I'm just saying he had a farce of an opponent tonight & it really proved nothing.

That fight may or may not have been fix, who knows. It sure looked suspect to me. Those light pitter patter punches Angulo were throwing throughout the fight were ridiculous, to say the least. It wasn't that Canelo did so well as much as it was Angulo cycling around the ring like a human punching bag, pittiful.

On a side note: BS stoppage by Weeks.

[BabyFaceAssasin]

No one can argue that the stoppage was not BS. It clearly should not have stopped. Having said that it was obvious Canelo was going to win.

what I took from that scene was the last thing Deniro wanted to ever do was throw a fight but for the sake of his career tittle shot he had to .it killed him to not fight back and he cried like a baby afterwards . It's a movie I get it but Hypothetically speaking if indeed Angulo did throw the fight for money thinking he could have won all along . Wouldn't that justify crying in your trainers arms . Just saying your tears theory holds no water with me .

The difference being, that one fight was an obvious fix, and the other was a fight where the guy was seemingly trying to win, and was being grossly outgunned. I've never seen a fight thrown where a fighter:

-Gets his brains scrambled for 9 rounds, while fighting back as best he can.
-Breaks down emotionally because of what he thinks is an unfair stoppage.

I will concede that Angulo didn't have the pop on his punches that he normally does, but that didn't translate into a thrown fight to me considering his actions during and after the fight. It just doesn't compute to me. But to each his own bro. We're just 2 grown men not seeing eye to eye.

Wow Angulo looked really bad! He was even slower than usual and had no power. But still it took Canelo 10 rounds to stop this man via premature stoppage. Not impressed at all.

And how long have you been working for GB?

I wonder how many industry owned accounts are on here doing damage control... I'd say plenty, lol.
