Agreed. No sense in banning someone just for having a different, albeit controversial, opinion. He's not trolling or being insulting with this thread, just saying what he thinks.

Further, not agreeing at all, but it is a sport that has been plagued by corruption and fixes historically. :(

Yeah, it makes for cynical and skeptical fans, myself included. Every time a fight goes to the scorecards I cringe and wait for something shady to happen.

An opinion based on a fight they've not seen, in fact they're so mad about it they start a thread! Douche!

How about banning them for being a spaz? Of course 90% of the forum would get banned....

I didn't notice that part of his post, but I still think he has the right to express his opinion. Or in this case the opinions of others as I gather there are some people calling the fight fixed.

if you're expressing someone else's opinion as your own, at which point does it become your opinion? :detective:

Lumped with under developed and electrically dormant synapses, they "duh duh" through a metamorphosis from Floyd ducking Mosely to Mosely throwing the fight.

Frustrating is it can be we must, occasionally of course, climb down from the heights of reason and commonsense and attempt to decipher and follow the route of the directionally challenged "bus" that transport the ideas of these people from their embryonic formations to their vocal and literal presentation. We do that when our kids are learning to communicate, and need to evoke the same level of patience and tolerance in a parallel circumstance. Thank God for sanity!:rolleyes:

Well, lets not go and get all philosophical here. I'm far too hungover for that kind of thing.

Re: It was fixed

Lol....they've caught shady ref's in the nba, guys on god knows what in baseball, the same is probably true in any sport. Hell if you look into it hard enough there are some who can probably make an argument for the sports games on wii being rigged. (When my kids beat me that's the first thing i claim) bro don't take sports so serious, just be a fan and watch and hope your guy wins, if he doesn't aw well outside of gambling on it, life usually still goes on. The fight was decent one guy won one guy lost. Added conspiricy theories won't change anything and are usually just a waste of your time. Props to floyd for winning, props to mosely for trying. More good one's next week for those who didn't like this one...

By the looks of the post fight pictures I can image that it was more of an exhibition match. A strong punch here and there followed up by letting the guy off the hook.

No thanks.

I'll stick to watching the upcoming fighters. At least I'll stand a better chance of seeing a real non-fixed fight.

You can't be serious.:confused:

agreed, i for one enjoyed the fight, Floyd really tried to make it a more physical fight, going forward and both landed their share of hard shots, like i said, it was a hell of a lot better than Pacquiao/Clottey, and whoever can even think of comparing it to Jones/Hopkins 2 is seriously on something
