Fake KO

[Chino]

Has there been a KO where you thought it looked as fake as a $3 dollar bill?

One that comes to mind is Mike Tyson vs Bruce Seldon. I am not so sure about the 2nd and last KO of the fight. Bruce looked fine at the count and then shook his head and was out .

How about you?

I don't think it was, but Hatton's ko of Castillo looked suspicious. I think what happened was Castillo realized he didn't have a chance and just stayed down; especially given all the bullshit surrounding that fight I could understand if he just wanted to get out of there.

I didn't think about it that way but it was a bit too early to think someone doesn't have a chance, I mean, it was barely round 4. From the replay, it looks like a well placed body punch. I'll watch the fight again.

It was a well-placed punch. I don't think Castillo dove and I'm sure he was badly hurt by the punch, I'm just saying I don't think his mind or his heart was really in the fight given what had happened in the lead-up and I wonder if that played a role in his decision to stay down.

Sure, a well-placed body punch, but sometimes you can sense when a guy really wants to get up and continue and when a guy is more like "To hell with this" like it seemed to have happened to Castillo.

That's what I am saying. Not necessarily that that was the case, but that is what it looked like to me.

to true saddo tradition shall we all just say that every single ricky hatton knockout has indeed been due to match fixing

ricky is infact a greengrocer from darlington who is about as handy with a pair of gloves than zelenoff is!!!

This place used to have more Hatton fans than any other site I have ever seen, the fanboyism was near that of Pacquiao today, they just all disappeared on Dec. 9, 2007 for some reason.

No one said Castillo took a dive, only that it looked like he might have decided not to get back up after getting dropped. He wasn't getting paid, after that shot he probably knew he couldn't win, so maybe he just stayed down. I'm not sure that is what happened, but plenty of people said they felt that was the case after the fight.

People who have never fought before cannot understand how truely devastating a perfectly place body punch can be. I think it is really something you need to have experienced.

I've been hit hard in the liver before and it is a debilitating feeling.

All I've been talking about in this thread is how the Castillo KO might have appeared, I'm not saying I think he took a dive or that he quit necessarily, onlt that he appeared to know he was beaten and that it looked like he might have stayed down as a result. It is something I have heard before and I can understand why some people might feel that way. Hatton landed a series of bodyshots in the fourth round, I'm sure Castillo was in a bad way.

edit: After watching the final round again, I do think it was a legitimate knockout, but I remember think it suspicious at the time.

Papa Chavez vs Buck Smith...set up

I was high that night,I actually thought Seldon had a chance

[gest12645]

Liston vs Ali "Phantom punch"

Moore vs Foreman

the guy who fought Antonia Demarco in his fight before Valero faked the ko,

[Mark TKO]

Am still certain to this day that Herol Graham was faking against Julian Jackson.

[BoxingChaos]

Anthony Bonsante faked he was knocked out and the ref called the fight over in the first round. This was versus Adonis Stevenson Aug 01, 2008
