Did Malik Scott take a dive against Wilder?

[Weltschmerz]

This looked absolutely ridiculous in real time and the replays even make it less believable. I'm okay saying a guy has big power, but that? That was cartoon stuff. It was a joke.

Scott was paid off, it's pretty clear. He wasn't even rattled by anything. What a joke...

No one has explained why in the world would Malik Scott need to take a dive...

The left clearly lands directly on the temple. No matter how weak you think it is, some shots just do the trick. Look at Guerrero vs Berto. Relatively weak shot behind the ear put Berto down, and had him wobbling. Guerrero has feather fists. Wilder has anything but.

that was the kinda grazing arm punch that would KO PAC


hard to say that it wasn't a dive...i know temple punches can be devastating but a temple slap?


i really want to get on the Wilder wagon but **** like that makes me wanna see his protected ass get exposed

Let Wilder slap you upside your head and after you do the chicken dance or wake up, tell us how that possibly didn't hurt.

Not sure if your being sarcastic,but the right side of Scott that`s showed in that gif, clearly shows that Wilder landed flush.

It looked like a dive those punches had barely anything on em the left was a set up punch not even a real slap the right barely hit anything, and Scotts eyes where fine, so I have to go with the evidence.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck then...

i honestly wouldn't be surprised if he did. boxing involves money, and sadly anything involving money has corruption here and there. the replay did not help its case. i think even bernstein was confused and changed his words a bit after seeing it. also, malik did not give a shit about taking his first L against chisora which was a ridiculous ending as well.
that said, these guys are heavyweights. the power these guys possess, especially someone like wilder, i don't even want to find out first hand how hard this dude hits. it's all said and done now. wilder is going to face the winner of arreola-stiverne II (right?), so we'll see what happens then as wilder keeps stepping it up.

It was the left hand that hurt Scott, and Scott was going down before Wilder came in with the right,And Wilder moved his leg while he was throwing the punches-so he did put his weight behind the punch.

Exactly,Wilder was the favorite to win so why would GB need to fix the fight?People just can`t believe that Wilder has that type of power-because they are so use to American heavyweights being crappy.

Well considering his history (Looked for a way out against Chisora) I wouldn't bet against him taking a dive, the left hook definitely land but the right was the punch that was suppose to have put him down and out, but looking at all the clips that right hand barely landed on him.

I don't think GBP fixed the fight i think Scott wasn't there to fight he was there to get paid and go home. Not risk no damn nap time this time simple as that I take nothing away from Wilder from my point of view he probably would have done it legitimately later on the fight if Scott felt he had to do that b/s .
