    your telling me to grow up? i am just saying that anyone who couldnt see that the viewers of last nights fight had the wool pulled over thier eyes is ignorant and blind. in a few years boxing will be what big time wrestling is now. "sports entertainment". and anyone who doesnt see this needs to "grow up"
    or they will end up looking like the wrestling fans that contend that it is "real".

          I have my conspiracies on many fights, but last night I just don't know. I was actually going to put money on a draw, and many other people who gamble big money were discussing the possibility as well. It was probable to happen. You throw in two of the p4p best in the world, last two Taylor fights very close. I just don't know about it being a fixed fight. It usually takes a bit, the judges need to add up their score cards, than they need to give it to the main judge, who puts it on one sheet, than to another guy who looks it over and signs in, then to Michael Buffer. With the 50 people that rushed the ring last night, a delay is not something unexpected. Especially when its close, they double check usually.

            Boxing is a sport that has always had a dark side. A side that the general public believes is fixed yet it is not. These rumors of fixing have been around since the beginning of the game and besides the 40's-50's have proven nothing besides Don Kings heavyweight tournament back in the day.

            It is people spouting words such as yourself with little or no evidence to back it up that brings boxing down with the common person in the world. Talk to any guy IN the game who saw the fight and they will tell you that it was a close fight and a justified decision. Any time one of these ********s doesnt agree with the call of a fight they yell fix. Then their brilliant buddy runs over to this group of people yelling fix and so on and so on. The fight was not fixed. The judging was not fixed. The only thing fixed is the publics preconcieved notion that boxing is fixed. Get over it.

              The fight was close, it was so close, it could be called either way. The only resolution was to have a rematch except Winky ran his mouth, and probably ruined his chances for a rematch.

              I believe Jermain will not hold the title long. He'll be beaten.

              No fix in my book, it was too close to be fixed.

                I still don't know how you would give Winky the last round. All he did was throw jabs that didn't land and some straight rights that also missed. I gave it to Taylor because he was the aggressor in that round also hitting but not landing clean on Winky...

                  I seriously hope a rematch is in the works

                    Did some guy just go to court for taking a dive on the undercard of Holyfield's last fight?

                    To be clear, I do not believe the fight was a fix. I just wanted to point out there is at least one case where someone was taken to court and lost.

                      There have been plenty of cases. I havent heard about the incident that you speak of. Find out the guys name and let me know.
