Did Malik Scott take a dive against Wilder?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Malik Scott quit against Chisora and he quit again. Well actually he followed the script that Sam Watson or whoever gave him before the fight.

Watch Scott's face when he was down. That's not the expression of a man who's badly hurt.

I do totally agree with you on this. Though, I still believe he was lightly hurt when Wilder landed his left hook on him.

Turns out the right did land. Maybe not completely flush, but it split Scott's guard and landed on his right cheek:

It was most deffo a dive. Not saying I blame Wilder, maybe Scott just wanted out.

The left hook was not thrown with KO intentions. I refuse to believe Wilder is just so strong he can knock people out with punches that weren't meant to knock out. Same rules still apply. Not going to buy into the hype "Herp a derp Heavyweight randomness". Nope. Scott wanted out.

Why would Scott take a dive in this fight? What was on the line, that will prove anything for when Wilder inevitably has to take on much harder opponents down the line?

It just makes no sense. I know the majority of fans think the mob stillcontrols boxing and everyone judges, refs, fighters all are secretly getting paid, the truth of the matter is this is boxing. In boxing people get punched and unpredictable things happen when people get punched in the head.. Same thing with judging and reffing when things are left up to single people, bias people maybe, **** goes down. Does that mean the fix was in, or human nature took control? I'll go with human nature. Boxing has about as many fixes and dives as pigs that are flying these days.

And BTW, Malik Scott isn't exactly the most metally strong fighter in the game.No doubt in my mind he was hit on the temple and legitimately hurt. Legs weak room spinning from a temple shot. Could he have got up? Probably but Malik Scott has quit before.

As blatant a fix as I've ever seen. An absolute disgrace.

Does it matter? Another garbage tomato can fight for Deontay Wilder.

The integrity of boxing matters yes. There is no point watching if it is all fixed.

Well its not even close to being all fixed. Sometimes we dont get the decisions we want but most of the time its because fights are subjective and judges view things differently and there are a lot of ****ty judges.
