I think the knockdowns looked very suspect. Floyd was throwing legit punches but the kid was jumping about all over the place... Never seen anyone do that before?

The whole thing is very bizarre.
The YouTube video I watched cut off, but it looked like the kid made a face like he was going to cry his eyes out. Also, it did look odd. I thought it was fake too, but I can see it being real if the kid was on queer street and tried to get up too fast.
 
The biggest giveaway for me was the spring he had in his legs when he got up, that just doesn’t happen, you get rubber legs, your wading through treacle when you get dropped hard, unless you tie up your opponent to regaine composure it’s always obvious you have wobbly legs, that midget got up after going down like Rocky against Ivan Drago and he was bouncing on his toes very quickly firing quick punches, I get the fight fire with fire mentality, but on quick feet? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that.
 
@Dealt_with i thought tenshin would beat floyd in a 3 round fight lol
If you're that dumb that you can't see a kid taking a ridiculous dive from glancing punches to the top of his head.. that's an acting performance you imbecile, that's not a sporting contest. That was likely what Floyd had to negotiate to eventually make it happen.
 
Floyd being slaughtered for this but I don't see why.

As I understand it, he was approached to stage this exhibition. Tenshin is an accomplished kick boxer, an accomplished amateur and is undefeated as a mixed martial artist. Floyd is a couple of years away from possibly becoming a granddad and hasn't fought a serious fight in many years. There was plenty of people predicting disaster here including Chael Sonnen. He goes out there and blasts this kid in a round for a couple of million and now he should be ashamed? Whut. :lol:
Wow, as if we needed anymore evidence that you don't know a damn thing about boxing. It's an obvious staged performance you retard.
 
He was crying his eyes out. He obviously saw this as a big opportunity for him to build his name. Not on Floyd's watch.
Are you joking? No one can be this dumb.
 
I read some of the comments on YouTube and they're fuckin laughable. Fix this and fix that. As if that promotion would pay millions to bring over Mayweather and have one of their own stars take a dive.

Every fuckin fighter on the planet would have taken that fight today if it was offered to them. The whole McGregor thing was a circus but again what fuckin fighter wouldn't have taken that opportunity.
Ffs, obviously they would have no concern letting their fighter take a dive to get publicity for their organisation.
If anybody watches that and doesn't understand a ridiculous acting performance.. that person should never talk boxing again.
 
The knockdowns look very very suspect to me.

But here's the thing I can't understand.... Floyd could beat this kid easily anyway. So why fix it?!
It wasn't fixed.

Two of the shots landed above the ear, Floyd probably outweighed the dude by 20lbs and he was crying like a baby at the end. There is also no logical reason to fix it. I concede the knockdowns were soft but it is what it is. Also Tenshin landed a lovely counter at the beginning and was swinging for the fences till the end.
