    Was Vasiliy Lomachenko in on the fix?

    Was it possible Vasiliy Lomachenko was in on this fix? This is pure speculation on my part but 2 judges were clearly in on it and considering bob arums history of rigged and fixed fights like pac robberies vs horn and bradley I think its possible vasilly bet against himself and tripled his bet. I mean the guy didnt even try fighting till after the 6th rd.

            In my opinion, the judges scorecards might have been weird, but not as weird as the fight. If Lomachenko performed as the same boxer we saw in the past, in my opinion, even Julie Lederman would not have been able to rob him of the win.

            This fight reminded me a lot of Canelo vs Kovalev, which I also thought was fake.

            I think maybe we were fools to think that any educated person would still take real punches to the head in 2020. It's just too dangerous for the brain. Just my opinion.

                By the way, about 70% into this gif of Lopez's knockout of Mason Menard, they finally give you, sort of, a clear angle of what happened... and let me just say without coming out and outright saying it, that I think it might answer your question. https://gfycat.com/whichaltruisticbasil

                Does anyone remember a fight called Deontay Wilder against Malik Scott, by the way? Just asking... no reason... no reason.....

                  No. Hell no.

                  Lomachenko's entire life mission was his boxing legacy. I don't think he'd willingly trade his shot at that for all the money in the world.

                  He just got beat.

                    I just think that Loma early was doing a combination of not wanting to get hit with something big and playing it safe, coupled with hoping Lopez would fade and then turning it up whether Lopez faded or not. I don't that that worked out well for him other than the fact that he did avoid the big shot. Better to go the distance than to get dropped and stopped.
