Ok explain it to me, if it was a fix, who fixed it and why?

[Kev]

Well we all know the Valuev fight was a horrible horrible robbery, and appalling decision that seems to have been rigged.

So let's talk conspiracy here.

I'm not very clued up on boxing politics so if it was fixed who would have fixed it and why?

I mean I can't see that Valuev is a cash cow for either his promoter or the WBC or whatever belt it was tonight.

Would they risk the integrity of boxing for the sake of that plodding, boring, useless meat head?

I mean if 'they' did fix it, who are they?

Is it Valuev's team, his manager and promoter paying the judges off?

Is it whatever organisation whose belt was on the line tonight, wanting Valuev to win for reasons......well completely unknown to me


Was it the bookies? Were they worried about losing money on an Evander win? If so though why would they fix the fight, why not just lower his odds?

Do you think the bookies wanted to make a killing on punters backing Evander and that it was worth them paying the judges to make sure Valuev got the nod if it went to the judges?

If such an event was fixed would they buy all the judges off or just two of them?

Would the judges know who bought them off or is there a middleman or go between?

As you can tell I really have no clue how fixing works in boxing, so those in the know, enlighten me, what happens and who does it?

If it was fixed, the WBA would have to be involved and their is only one reason.....Valuev would make more money/draw more attention in future fights. IMHO

[Plopeater]

Valuev won every round IMO, this was no fix guys

Please give Valuev some credit, he dominated Evander

[GAME]

I dont think the judges were instructed to give teh rounds to Valuev but they knew it were in their best interests if the home fighter won which would ensure future work .

If the WBA are not involved they need to show it and do something about it !

Does anyone know when this fight will be highlighted on t.v? because i did'nt get to see it and im itching to see it for myself!

Anyhow i bet there was a fix between the bookmakers and judges!I mean Evander was the clear underdog of 5/1 to win this fight and surely a hell of a lot of people backed him at that really good price considering its on a "two horse race bet"and obviousley the bookmakers would have lost a great great amount of ££££££££s if Evander did cause a upset!Its happened before and still goes on in every sport possible!For instance when the Welterweights PRIZEFIGHTER tournament kicked off not soo long ago,i backed Nigel Wright to win it at a great price of 4/1.And he concreted this chances throughout the tournament by winning the quarters,and semmies until the fooking 3 ringside judges said overwise and stopped with going throw to the final and awarding his opponant "Lomax" to the final instead!!
It was a 110% fix NO DOUGHT!!Apparently Wright appealed to the boxing control but im not too sure how far he got in proving this obvious point in that he was robbed!!!!


It knocks me sick!

The judges get well looked after by the promoters in big fights.

They get lots of freebies.So even though there is no official bribe,the judges know whats best for them.
