Why are some people think the Haye/Harrison fight was fixed lol.

[JonnyFolds]

Fixed? Do people actually think that Audley would throw a fight that nobody thought he could win?? I am so confused. Isn't the better man supposed to lose when that happens? That would ensure lots of money exchanges hand for the wrong reason.

No, they don't.

Hope this helps.

It won't let me post links here, so cut and paste to watch the video of Haye signalling Harrison to take his dive.

^Sorry, I stand corrected... obviously some idiots do think that Harrison was paid to throw the fight...

You do understand that taking a dive involves going down and staying down? Unless you're blind or as dumb as you seem I'm pretty sure you noticed Audley got back up and the ref stopped the fight?

Have you ever watched boxing before? You've never seen a boxer taunt another boxer or get in his face?

lol for fucks sake... the issue is not whether Audley was paid off or not but whether Haye slapped the fans in the face by prancing about for the first 2 rounds to help his mates make a few bob.

Another thing, thinking about it I would doubt Haye would be ringside telling the world him his friends and family have made a shit load of cash by betting on the 3rd round, if the fight was a fix!!

[No Contest]

It wasnt fixed thats just how Harrison fights, if you can call it fighting. Did someone think he was actually gonna win? It wasnt as competitive as they thought...hmmm?

[No Contest]

I didnt know you were able to place bets on your own fights. Thats kind of the Pete Rose deal, he didnt place bets against the Reds. So you can carry a guy through to the round you want and get paid off? Who the fuck would take a bet from him, and if his friends are doing it for him, isnt that some kind of tampering. Bookies should definately not pay out on that.

[Nameless]

Honestly, fixed or not doesn't matter at all as it was a pointless fight sportwise anyway.

[AdamGB]

Also am I the only person who noticed Harrison spitting his gum guard out?

Why did he do that? It's the oldest trick in the book... you've got 10 seconds to get up, a few seconds for the ref to look at you and then "box" it's time to go again... if your legs haven't came back in those seconds then you're in trouble - if your gum guard 'falls' (gets spat) out then the referee must put it back in, giving you precious extra seconds to recover.

The fact that

a) Audley GOT FUCKING BACK UP, instead of just getting counted out

and

b) pulled the gum guard trick

show that he didn't want the fight stopped. end of x
