i see people talking about fake/rigged/setup fights all the time on boxing boards....i see a few posters claiming that most of wilders fights have been rigged
lets revisit brook/golovkin
defenders of this fights call it completely organic
golovkin was on camera being asked about maybe fighting brook more than 6 months before....he shot it down of course...which was smart...not something youd want to admit to be looking at
loeffler once offered some insight in an interview about how they select fights and the whole process for them...he mentioned that they go in with several targets...usually at least 3...one being a main target with others being guys they would move on to if they couldnt secure a deal with the top target in time
yet many claim that eubank lost his pen at the last minute and brook was the only guy offered and the only suitable replacement on such short notice...in order to save the date
why did team golovkin not move on to a plan b or c when they couldnt secure a signature in ample time from eubank? kinda makes u wonder...i feel most a-list/a-side fighters operate the same way loeffler explained...they have a time frame in which they want a signature from the opponent...if they dont have it they usually go to a backup...yet somehow golovkins team went to the last minute with eubank...with no signature....and then pulled the old "well brook was the only guy available on short notice...he was the only guy offered to us"...
why did brook look so suprised and upset when his team stopped the fight?
i saw manny pac claim a torn rotator cuff on the same arm that was firing off shots the entire fight.......im not sure brook was as damaged.....could it have been preemptive? brook claimed that he was "settling in"
some will claim that golovkin was about to murder him and brooks trainer was saving him...brook didnt seem to think all that
"Brook confirmed that Golovkin had broken his eye socket in the previous round, which led to blurred vision, but he insisted he felt capable of fighting on. “When you start seeing three, four or five of him it’s difficult but I was tricking him, I was frustrating him,” said the 30-year-old “I hurt him, his legs buckled. I’m a warrior and I wanted to carry on. I was ready to fight on. Anyone who trains me knows that.”
"Asked about the decision Brook replied through somewhat gritted teeth: “You’ll have to ask Dominic why he did that.”
When the question was put to Ingle he justified the decision by insisting that his fighter was taking too much punishment. It was later confirmed that Brook was taken to hospital because of the damaged eye socket but his camp insisted it was a precautionary measure."
hey..im not saying it was rigged or fixed...or stopped early....but theres certainly some evidence to suggest theres the possibility this fight wasnt all on the up and up......i didnt like the way it all started and certainly thought it was a mismatch
i feel the same way about russell/crawford....there isnt even a UK audience or payday for crawford in that fight...makes 0 sense...at least golovkin had that going for him with brook
