    2 shows in the first 2 shows, and 2 robberies. Maybe that was a rare occasion eh? oh no it turns out 3 of his last 4 fights all had him A) winning close fights that most people saw him losing or B) had him winning every single round in a very close fight.

    If that doesn't prove that it's not extremely rare...then i dont know what else to tell you..
    Like I said one guy don't prove nothing. There are shows every day of the week. There are maybe a hundred, a hundred fifty fights a week all over the world & we often go weeks without talking about a bad decision.

    And I'd chalk it up to Easter's style his close (my take) fights. As I mentioned Jessie Vargas is a similar cat like that with a gritty style that lends itself to close fights & he's got 4 or 5 fights that one might could argue are "robberies". In my record book he's got several L's, but I'd have to look them all over again to say which ones were close & within the margin of error with scoring vs legit situations where the wrong guy won.

      The median age of a WWE viewer is 54. WWE is closer to a live cartoon than boxing, but boxing has its fair share of fixed fights as well.


      Boxing is real and people die in the ring.
      People die in the ring in wrestling as well. Has nothing to do with "real" or "fake." Boxing and wrestling both have a lot of fixed fights. The difference is that in wrestling, 99% of the fights are fixed, while in boxing, most of the fixed fights are at the lower levels. For big televised fights, fight fixing is far less common.


      No similiarities whatsoever.
      Well it's two combat sports that take place in a ring and if you knew your boxing history, you'd know that boxing and wrestling used to be the same business. Promoters promoted both sports. The athletic commission regulated both sports. The athletic commissions crowned world champions in both sports (NBA for boxing, NWA for wrestling). Wrestling and boxing were very closely tied together once upon a time.

        Ya I mean this "fan" wasn't around when Tyson attacked Lewis at the press conference.

        Boxing is a sport and all sports are...entertainment.
