    Yes. And when AJ dominates the rematch it will be obvious to those who can think for themselves

      could be, given its history I generally take all boxing with a grain of salt. There's not a single boxer or fight I'd struggle to believe is fixed, boxing is the OG of fake fights, but without any evidence at all I reckon it's unfair to do to Andy.

      Could be, but, also, probably Andy just whooped that ass though and deserves credit. I'd rather give the boys credit now and find out later I was lied to then to demonize innocent men.

          I can understand where you're coming from. I mean, look at the big shit-eating grin on AJ's face when he's climbing off the canvas. But then if you look at his face right after Klitschko knocked him down, he has that same goofy look, like he just took a massive bong hit. But that's just Anthony being Anthony. He's a big, dumb, uncoordinated lunkhead who's only good at flexing his muscles and smiling for the cameras. He can't help himself.

            Yes, they just didn't tell Andy.

              The difference between Wladimir Klitschko and Andy Ruiz is about the same as the difference between Three Ton Tony Galento and Lennox Lewis.

              We all want to believe all the big fights we watched were real. We don't want to ever admit the possibility we have all been suckers. No matter how su****ious Ali vs Liston (both), Foreman vs Morrison, Hagler vs Leonard, Duran vs Leonard 2, Tyson vs Seldon, all of Mayweather's 147 fights, Felix vs Oscar, Mayweather vs Corrales (going to jail weeks after fight), Fury vs Wilvder, Wilder vs Scott, Wilder vs Ortiz, Wilder vs Stiverne (both), Golota vs Ruiz and Byrd, Golota vs Tyson, Golota vs Grant, Golota vs Bowe (both) were. We could go on all week long

                Andy knew it was a fix after the weigh in when AJ let him hold and pose with his belts.

                  A joint forces CIA and CJNG spec ops team abseiled in and spiked Anthony's water with LSD before the fight to guarantee the future and glory of Mex-American boxing against the Old World illuminati threat, man. Everyone knows this.

                    That's kinda the way I take it. Undoubtedly fixing can and does happen. The possibility is always there and the more money hangs on a fight the more likely it is, but if you go down the road of calling fix every time there's an unexpected result, why bother watching the sport at all?

                    Way I treat it just suspend disbelief, treat things at face value until it's actually proved otherwise.
