Video: Froch opponent accuses him of match fixing, with referee in on the fix

[TheBigLug]

Is that actually match fixing though? There's no certainty that the fighter can actually do it. If they predict a win and tell people to bet and win is that match fixing too?

Yeah it's debatable because it's not the same as throwing a fight.

The way they would do it would be when they're in with an overmatched opponent that they're highly likely to stop is just bet that the fight goes over 4 rounds. Then carry them for 4 rounds and then get to work.

But is that fixing? obviously the bet is influencing your performance if you do that but at the same time it's a fighters prerogative to apply pressure and go for the stoppage.

There is probably some grey area there as it's not as blatant as taking a dive.

I certainly wouldn't put anything past Mick Hennessy and Howard Foster.

But Carl Froch is one of the few fighters from the UK that I respect, he earned his stripes and proved himself to be world class many times over.

This is the 5th round in question. Maybe a bit of a quick stoppage but Froch was giving the guy a thrashing regardless.

The same guy has made another video:

Howard Foster being in on Fix Fights is very believable, worst Ref In Boxing...well 2nd Worse since somehow Lawrence Cole is still a Ref


Well 3rd Worse Ref behind Lawrence Cole and Giuseppe Quartarone

Wow.. that guy could do with a spelling dictionary, but that's a damning video of Cole alright.
