Comments Thread For: Schaub: Mayweather Fight Was Fake, Nasukawa a Bad Actor

[NC Uppercut]

Agree. I dig Schuab 99% of the time he's a fun likable guy who asks better questions than most hack boxing media but there is one thing he loves more than hearing himself talk & its making bold claims with lil reason or thought behind those claims to get some headlines. He's said goofy sh^t or dumb sh^t numerous times in the past & there is zero doubt in my mind he's gonna have future scandals off of his bold remarks in this era of PC watch what you say speaking.

He's like a dumber, less experienced version of Chael Sonnen, another MMA guy who speaks on all things combat sports these days. And Chael was one who was making bold claims before the fight about "the fix being in", but post-fight claimed Tenshin got doubled double crossed or some such crazy logic bs lol, but he didn't say he felt the fight was fixed.

This was a dare to be great situation for this talented kickboxer who had 9 minutes to make his mark. Being 20ish pounds lighter & with less years on his birth certificate than Floyd had in the ring it was a grand long shot, but in a no decision fight if you are looking to make your mark its kill or be killed & the odds were massively towards him being killed. I didn't think it was fixed although I guess I can see where some people are coming from with the sloppy falls, but they just looked like a kid trying his best to stay upright & get up quickly more than acting of good or poor ability.

Only reason it looked staged, imo, was Tenshin’s eyes. If you look at the KD pics you can notice that his eyes are always looking elsewhere. It’s weird... not towards his corner either.

Re-watched the fight and the punches that Mayweather threw definitely landed.
The first knockdown look like a punch wasn't that solid but the last two were definitely on target, the right hook to the body and head dropped him, and the counter left hook ended the fight. I don't think the Japanese sensation would weep and cry like a little Bytch in front of his country and fans on purpose.

Of the 3 KDs, 1 was hard to the face.
2 looked like light taps to the temple.

I'll say it again: The fight was delayed because Tension couldn't do the flip flop well till Zab Judah was brought in to teach him.

Yes I saw him look I thought to his corner or someone--looked like for instructions. "Can we stop now. When should I cry?"

I can understand that take.

To me I just took it as a kid very unsure of himself, anxious &/or nervous as well maybe cuz I don't think he's had a day that bad in his life or maybe since he was a lil lil kid just starting out. So he probably wasn't well acquainted with proper or ideal procedure when hurt.

This kid is a legit bad ass. Just not in boxing. I'm sure his tears were real cuz he's maybe never been so easily handled even in sparring/training. Weight & experience matter more than he expected.

of course it was fake

funny how floyd's fans trying to defend his man. comedy

just watch this: https://twitter.com/robinblackmma/st...2F2300992.html

fake 100%

I love Robin Black's passion for all things combat sports, but he's worse than the guys people b^tch about like Schuab with his boxing knowledge. I'm much more a fan of his MMA knowledge. Thats his wheelhouse not boxing.

Black's talking shoulder shot with that first KD, but it looked like a clear punch to the backside of his head to me that likely f#cked up Tenshin's equilibrium. I doubt he got a chance to recover from that entirely & a lot of the sloppiness with him after is probably a catalyst to that first big shot.

And idk what any of the "Floyd don't fight like this" bs comes from. Go watch some dog pound sparring footage. Floyd ain't anywhere near as defensive in the gym as he is on fight night & this was a sparring session with a guy 20lbs lighter. Floyd isn't gonna box & ring IQ buttf#ck this lil cat like its prime Corrales lmfao. This is a blunt force trauma situation

Not fake.The same thing happens when an amateur boxer fights someone off the street, it's strange and cartoonish. The body shots hurt the punk and freaked him out because he's never been hit that hard there before and the head shots made him dizzy and nascious.
He's delusional thinking he can beat anyone because of the other little people he's knocked out but when reality hits in front of the same countrymen, who put him on a pedestal as this "fighting phenomenon", he's embarrased and scrambling to use his super powers on Floyd.

I'm not a Floyd fan but I'm not a hater of the most skilled defensive figher ever. This was not fake at all. This is a story of ****** investors putting up money to hopefully watch this hype job ****** ko one of the all time greats.
8 year old tries to beat up his Big Daddy and gets smashed, simple as that

It looked fake but I think of it was fake, tension would have given us some rounds

Look at who Floyd is knocking out.. You need to watch the full careers of all the known superstars of this sport. Every one of them was dispatching the cab drivers and sanitation workers during the stepping stone faze of their careers in similar fashion.

Why would it be shocking or a fix for him to ko a 122 guy who never boxed then??
