    Angulo did a poor job of selling it.

    That's pretty much the reason why we're even having this discussion.

    It didn't look like Angulo even wanted to hurt Canelo in there. When Goldenboy felt that it was becoming a bit too obvious they pulled the plug.

      Unless he was directed to make Canelo look good and make sure that Canelo doesn't take too much punishment.

        I don't know, it just seemed like he was tired. Maybe he didn't sleep well or had some health issues that he kept to himself. I thought the Ortiz - Collazo fight was fixed, but sometimes fighters just have a bad night.

          I dunno, maybe the deal was to not throw hard. . . (If there was one)

              But see, Victor was fighting though. He was throwing shots with intent to hurt. But Angulo rarely did, especially in the beginning. He was throwing SOFT shots or not throwing at all.

                It was basically Man vs. Piñata

                  Angulo throws punches like I throw them in my dreams, slow and lethargic

                    That could very well be the case. I'm not usually one to dwell on conspiracy theories but this fight was particularly suspect.

                      I was watching on stream and I think I saw Tony Weeks with a smirk on his face right after he stopped it

                      I'm gonna watch it later in HD, but if he did smirk than I think he was in on it too
