Marciano - Walcott 2 ... was it a fixed fight?

[Saddo]

OK thanks to Big H's great work with the calendar ((yes we have a calendar )) ive been setting the sky plus to record alot of the boxing and just finished watching espn classics behind the fights and one of the fights on was Marciano Walcott 2... cant say i have ever read anywhere about this fight being fixed but for me Wallcot never even tried to throw anykind of shot like the one that floors Marciano in there first fight.. and again when Maciano knocked Walcott down he was just waiting for the ref to count him out before he got up

ever a fixed fight if i ever seen one.

never rated Marciano

Well IMO Marciano and Walcott are both legends and this is disrespectful to them. However i have recorded Marciano's behind the fight and will watch it to see if i understand what your saying.

just look at first round of the first fight and the first round of the second fight you'll see what i mean... also how quick Walcot got up when the ref reached 10

all fighters know you stay down till nine and get up slowly when the ref says 10 to be counted out if you want him to stop it

to be honest i think louis vs max was fixed aswell max was holding onto ropes doing nothing it prolly wasnt fixed but i just think there was something strange about it

[Saddo]

there was alot of properganda with that fight soo who knows mate... cant remember it that well as it was some time since i seen it... but i do remember thinking it was like watching 2 different fighters

Walcott was 39 and had taken TONS of punishment in the first fight. He was slowed down a lot from that first fight and I think he was looking to get out of it. ALTHOUGH, the fight was in Chicago and that was the scene of a lot of fixed fights so you could never know for sure but I really just think that it was Walcott who was nothing more then a shell of his former self. But it was in Chicago...

If the truth be known, there was a lot of it going on at the time

[Saddo]

for sure scrap we have a bright young star who i wont name for libelus reasons but imo his last amature fight reeked of fixing.

i felt the same way about Ali Liston 2 not fixed just Liston wanted out

Yeah I wouldn't want to have to miss out on such great info again

If you're going to talk about a "fixed fight" talk about everyone's favorite EMANUEL AUGUSTUS...THAT my friend is a dive.

Agreed and that's different than "fixed"

Like Tyson-Spinks...not fixed the other guy just didn't want to fight
