    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?
    Yeah, man. I went through a little conspiracy theory phase myself. But like you say, no one would be able to keep that secret. Dives have happened in the past but on TV with the camera angles and all, it's next to impossible to fake. Just don't buy it anymore. In most cases, it's just bitter losers complaining which I have been, but I don't plan on being one any more. No fun. Haha. Mundine got his ass beat. It just happens. He's 43 for God's sake.

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

          Mundine isn't a person to take a dive. He is all pride, to a fault.

          Mundine is 43 and was completely drained at the catchweight. The result is not surprising.

            The people who think it was a dive need to watch the video footage a little closer. Mundine's head bounced off the canvas. He must have dedicated himself fully to taking that dive, even at the risk of giving himself a concussion by allowing his head to bounce off the canvas.....The conspiracy idiots are apparently too lazy to watch the KO replay and use common sense.

                https://********/Gde4jNVO3TM?t=83 He was hit hard. His chin is gone. He fell hard . This wasn't Tommy Hearns vs Marcus Geraldo or Tyson vs Seldon.

                  His neck and back of the head clapped back/shook hard when he got hit...then his eyes rolled back on the canvas. It was not a dive man, the shot just landed harder than visible

                    OP you have literally nothing better to do.
                    Just sheer laziness to suggest a dive.
                    People are still so cut up you were proven wrong that everyone's out to discredit Horn. It doesn't matter what he does in his career people will spout hate towards him. Get over yourself man. The sport is bigger than you and your bias. At the end of the day Horn is a stand up guy and as genuine as any. If people hate him so much stfu and don't watch.

                      Yeah, I've seen that one, man. Definitely a dive without question. That said, it's hard to picture this happening on a big stage. These two guys are pretty unknown. I'd never heard of them. I've seen other small-time dives, too. Usually in a small club with dudes you never heard of. I know they go on but like, in a world title fight with millions watching, it would be very hard to pull off outside of someone just quitting maybe.
