It was terrible he never hit him down he went like he had been hit by a bus.
I hope he never got paid useless git.

Saw that in the news yesterday, if he gets paid it's crazy, didn't he say the shot grazed his temple and fucked his equilibrium up

The jab he got hit with a few seconds earlier was a better shot. If anybody doesn't believe that this stuff goes on, they're Naïve at best.

Agreed it happens a lot even with cleaner punches that that.

That clearly is a mini me of Kostya.

What are people talking about “not get paid”, he did what he was paid to do. It might be shameful but we should look at who paid him to be shameful. People constantly put their outrage in the wrong place.

Could be right there actually, none of know under what circumstances was the guy told to throw the fight.
He could have been threatened with his or his families life with a gun to his head for all we know.
If your gonna take a dive at least give us a few rounds and try and make it convincing rather than what this guy did.

He should have done a better job at taking a dive

In 98 percent of the fights made in boxing today, everybody knows who is supposed to win as soon as the match is made. You pick opponents that your fighter will not only defeat, but look good in doing so. That guy, while certainly not there to win, did not do what he was supposed to do. In fact he did the opposite because his actions made the showcase fighter look bad.

The chance that he did that because somebody threatened him in some way is slim to none. Why? The boxing world is full of guys that pad their records at home so it looks good because that enables them to get paid more when they travel to lose to a prospect.

He may have been a MASSIVE underdog and maybe he would have upset the promoters had he won, but you HAVE to try...
