Did Oscar Take a Dive Against Hopkins?

A sports writer at the time put it this way, "Oscar goes down and pounds the canvas with his right fist not able to get up until the count reaches ten! All of a sudden he is standing and flashing that Golden Boy smile of his." - source: http://www.doghouseboxing.com/DHB/KenH0123a08.htm

FAKE fake fake.

I certainly thought it was fixed.

Watch a little bit before the round starts. Before the ninth. Listen when the camera’s in Bernard’s corner. Listen to what he says and his facial reaction.

Btw, I don’t think that was ****m shouting that during the round but I could be wrong. Either way doesn’t matter.

But yeah, when you listen to Hop’s corner before the round, realize someone’s shouting body shot and Oscar, then watch that weak shot drop him like a sack of breaks...hmmm.

Then they announce their partnership days later? That was something they must’ve been negotiating before they fought. That sealed it for me,

Oscar had a lot of questionable decisions in Vegas. It’s fair to suspect foul play.

Would it not have been easier for Hopkins to go out like that and save De La Hoya career and made them bag loads of money for a rematch so they fight was not fixed
