    Default Know of any fixed fights?

    Was watching a VladTV video and Vlad was talking to Michael Franzese, an ex-mafia guy and Franzese said that sports like boxing and tennis were the easiest to fix- obviously because they have less participants.

    My question to the people here who have been watching this sport for years now, like me. Have you ever seen a fight CLEARLY fixed where a guy took a dive? Do you have it on video or is there a video somewhere of it? I'm not talking about crooked judges either, but a fight where a guy clearly took a dive.

    Bigger man George, bigger punch!

    Found this better quality vid of an old piece on 60 Minutes. Two words...Mark Gastineau lol. I remember seeing the 1st Tim Anderson fight on USA Tuesday night fights and the entire story between Anderson and his now ex EX promoter Parker is the stuff of a tragic Hollywood movie. Told to take a dive..Tim proceeded to say screw you and beat the brakes off of Gastineau . It only got uglier from there

    As much as we love the Drunken Master Emmanuel Augustus, there's this . Literally 2:59 of the 12th and final round. One year later he's giving Floyd Mayweather hell on HBO. Weird when you think about it. His career basically took off after this
