Fixed Fights?

Bernard Hopkins vs Oscar de la hoya. To this day I really think this fight was fixed and they made alot of money off each other. It was Hopkins last knockout of an opponent; The fact that in between rounds 8 and 9 he (Hopkins) was saying that it was his round, something he has never done before and people screaming body shot right before he threw that soft left hook to the liver with the palm of his glove. Plus Oscar looked horrible in his fight with Sturm but somehow managed to keep it close up until the knockout punch.

Fixed fights is more judges, the referee, siding with one fighter, rather than the opponent laying down. It can happen in a multiple number of ways and mostly difficult to prove. Jonathan Barros W 12 Celestino Caballero is an example where the judges and the alphabet title wanted their countryman to win. ODH winning a decision over Strum is another example of where the big money fight with Hopkins resulted in the golden boy getting the decision, so it happens. German fighters getting decisions is another example.

We all have visions of smoke filled back rooms and plain white envelopes under the table when its widely shoved in the fans faces. You don't need to fix a fight to get away with highway robbery. Guys 'except' their roles, boxings fodder fo the masses as journeymen padders are the early lifeblood of the sport. I know, a bit jaded.

All you gotta do is look at PongsaShits record to see this clearly...
It is indeed sad when 9-5-3 guy is fighting a 56-3-1 guy (Just throwing random numbers out) and the whole Lito Sisneros incident among others should not be happening.

I hope that Sosa puts PongsaShit down for good. With a spectacular KO...

Judges fix fights all the time in every country

the english moan about the germans or the italians fixing it for their fighters but its fixed in our country too

(sorry about the spelling in advance)

john simpson v stephen smith twice
shaun hughes v billy coccran
tyson fury v john macdermot
danny williams v joh macdermott
tom dallas v that american fella

and those are just off the top of my head, give me an hour and ill think of 10 more

i reckon these are examples of fights fixed because it's "better for boxing", they were either fixed or the judges were so caught up in hype and bias that they should never judge again
