Tyson VS Clifford Etienne. Staged?

[LUCKY_13]

I watched the Tyson VS Etienne fight again.
Does anyone think it's staged?

Etienne gets hit and falls, fair enough. Soon as he falls he takes out his mouthguard, ok he needs more air. But at the end of the count, he gets up as if he was never hurt. Him and Tyson hug and exchange words before hugging again.

Maybe Tyson paid Cliff's people off, because Tyson 'needed' to be the winner again. He couldn't keep losing. It just looks fake.

Opinions?

If it was not for the fact he nearly broke his own leg on his way down I might be inclined to say the same mate. Etienne was chinny as fuck at the end of the day, so I can see what your saying as the punch that fucked him up was not all that. I think he had respect for Mike and Mike had respect for him too.

I think they both knew the outcome of the fight as soon as the bell rang....or even as the fight was made.

I watched a documentary about prison boxing that had "The Black Rhino" in it.

He was the man behind bars, but those with proper training and eating habits were too much for him it seems to me.

You might find it if you typed in some keywords. Some clips or something should surface somewhere...

I watched it on DiscoveryTimes about 2 years ago.

Don't think it was staged. If you remember, Ettienne pulled out of the fight just days before claiming that it would be suicide for him to step in the ring and the money wouldn't be worth it. Then he got pulled back into it for the money, got hit once, and he went down legitimately. You can tell by the way his ankle bent. You can't take a fall like that without being out of it. He probably could of got up, but Tyson was the baddest man on the planet as Etienne was growing up, he was scared to death. After the fight, when he went to hug Tyson, he told Tyson to stop bullshitting himself, that he didn't belong in the ring with Mike.

Definitely was not staged.

Yeah guess you guys are right. Just looks abit sus that's all.

I too thought it looked fixed the first time I saw it, not that it needed to be, Tyson didn't need any help knocking out chinny ass Etienne, who actually had a lot of potential at one time around the KO Nation time on HBO. Too bad Etienne had to go and be a dum fuck and rob that store and shoot at them cops and get his dum ass thrown back in the slammer for LIFE.

[LUCKY_13]

Yeah heard his sentence came to a total of 108 years or something?!

I love isolation from the outside world but not when the food sucks almost as hard as the fella sleeping in the bunk under you.

Haha. Join the armed forces. Practically like prison, only better food and people aren't trying to kill you. Plenty of isolation from the 'real' world there. Haha.
...Australian Army anyway! :P

[Poom]

If anything Etienne faked being knocked out to save himself, im sure Tyson didn't need any help...

[Unknowndonor]

Etienne just wanted a payday, without taking any serious damage. He new he would lose, so why not stay down.

[spanky-banky]

was no fix etienne just got caught with i big right hook that tyson turned and put all his force into and clifford got caught
