After "Winkgate" at the weekend with Wilder and Scott, what are some other fights that you think were rigged and why?
Here's Wilder vs Scott

First knockdown, no punch lands. Ref even calls "no knockdown" then starts counting
Second knockdown, he gets up and looks ready to go then suddenly starts wobbling when the ref's count reaches 8, 9

First one I thought of... This is clearly a dive..
Hopkins oscar was always fishy to me,, and the mayorga vs Shane and cotto,,they couldn't get mayorgs out of there like oscar and Tito, and mayora gets stopped both times with seconds left, always seemed kinda shadyComment

David Haye vs Audley Harrison
They were good friends back in the amateurs and clearly rehearsed all the build-up together to sell it to the British public.
Neither man throws a punch in the first 2 rounds and Haye gets the KO in the 3rd after clearly mouthing "Now" to Audley.
Later it becomes known that Haye told friends and family to bet on the 3rd round...

I believe I've only seen 2 fixed fights in my time - Scott vs Wilder and Oscar vs Hopkins. Banks vs Mitchell 2 was fishy, too, but Banks says he broke his hand and I have no evidence to the contrary.
There are other cases where fighters could have gotten up, but stayed down due to fear (i.e, Rahman vs Crawley) or because of possible corruption on the part of only one fighter (Danny Green vs Paul Briggs, Ali vs Liston).Comment

Danny green-Paul Briggs
A weak jab that missed above his head KO'd him?Comment

Wilder vs Scott was definitely fixed, a slapping arm hook that didn't even move scotts head did not KO him.Comment
