Was Last Night Another Fix?

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.

Ok, I'll try to look it up. I read about it on TSN or ESPN, maybe.

Looks like some promoter was paying dudes to take dives against Richie Melito. One of those fights was on the undercard of Holyfield vs Ruiz. I had thought it was the undercard of Holyfield's last fight, but I guess it happened in 2000.

Good work finding it. It can happen, but people are always yelling fix whenever anything happens. The sport is not all fixed. If any of you got on the inside of the game you would see that. Thanks for finding that, I do remember hearing about it.

Yah, I don't for a moment believe this fight was fixed. I think it was a tough fight to score and you end up with a draw. I thought Winky won, but I can see how other people would see it different, especially from different angles at ringside. I think the "fix" cry happens far too often as well. Some fights look like they were fixed, but it's more likely that it's just bad judging.
