The "KO" in the horn fight is soooo shady

[Clubber Pac]

Because of my work schedule, it's easy for me to miss boxing that takes place during the week, and that was certainly the case with Horn/Mundine.

I watched the clip of the knockout, and there can be no doubt that Mundine looked like he took a dive, and then faked being fu%cked up on the ground.

I have watched the clip over and over again, he took two punches, the first one barely touched him, and he went to fall, but must have realized it would not look good, steadied himself, stood in harms way, and took a more solid shot, but not one that would totally flatten him.

His reaction on the ground was sickening.

I also find it insane that nobody seems to care, these two guys just may have committed an incredible fraud on the game, and the fans, and it's being treated as business as usual.

I find this to be an utter disgrace to the sport of boxing, it's absolutely awful.

Yet another Horn hater.
Have you not ever seen a fighter being knocked out by getting clipped?
Show some of Deontays K/Os and you will see the same thing.

Mundine is shot to **** either way on top of losing to basically every live fighter he ever fought, and horn isn't beating anyone of note lol, so who cares except people who bet on the fight, which I didn't care enough to bother to do.

It was completely irrelevant.

-Many fights are fixed in one way or another.
In slomo this looked genuine.

Don't know why you people still believe in conspiracy theories in this day and age.
How many times have you broken a promise not to tell anybody?
Are you sure your wife won't tell anybody the same thing if you told her your friend's secret?
How many people are involved in fixing a fight?
Assuming a minimum of ten.
Do you really believe not a single one would sing?

I didn't see anything dodgy with that KO, that was legit. Horn is comfortable at that weight.

australian boxing is not real. they fined him 75k for taking a dive! too bad his purse was 200k on top of all the bets im sure he made. this sounds like american capitalism. company will steal billions with illegal behavior then the government will fine them a couple million don't do it again!!!

[Earl-Hickey]

Australian boxing is the most corrupt I've ever seen.

It's possible that was a legit knockout but it's also possible it was a dive

Thanks good one.
So many ways to fix a fight with either one or both fighters, the ref or one or more judges. Boxing worldwide does the hometown scoring thing or allows the homeboy to break all the rules.

A recent fight in May 2017 was one of the most obviously fixed fights. The loser-to-be only threw a hard punch to his opponent after the latter held his gloves to both sides of his face. Many other things in that fight...

Nothing changes. See Jake LaMotta's testimony to the US Senate. Different set of characters today.

Of course, boxing is a microcosm of things in general...

The Danny Green vs Paul Briggs fight is the one I think everyone can agree was a dive for betting purposes. I thought at first Mundine might have tanked but I watched it at 1/4 SPEED and it looks like the punch landed on the face after further review. But nothing would surprise me...
