when i watched slow motion replay, seems like there was definite contact. there's one angle (from silvia's right side) where it is hard to see because it lands on the left side of silvia's face. but viewed from silvia's left side, it is clear the right hand lands that sends silvia to the canvas.
Ruiz mucked up the sport for years, and some of you dummies wanna blame the ref for enforcing the rules when Jones Jr dominated him?
How modern? I mean, Escalera-Everett was definitely fixed in that one of the judges was paid off but that was 1976.
I went over this in a different thread there were less than 5-6 clinches per round in that fight…and the ref let them work while in the clinch… Lokk at the Toney fight very few clinches…Ruiz was a dumb dumb…
Oscar v Hopkins was very dodgy. The one I'm certain was fixed was Khan v Kindelan, televised in the UK and designed to start Amir Khan in the pro ranks. That was absolutely fixed. No-one can convince me otherwise. MTF
Wilder vs Fury 2 was fixed 100%. But it wasn't the judges, the ref or the fighter. It was the fashion designers Cosmo and Donato who were paid by John fury to sabotage Wilder with a heavy 40 pound traditional African costume under the guise of celebrating Black History Month. It was obvious Wilder's legs were like noodles. Reminded me of Tyson at Tokio. Something was off. This was sabotage if Ive ever seen one.
Steve Bounce telling people there was a Cuban on the phone trying to explain things to Castro was just too much
Fabio Wardley vs Eric Molina. Wardley is fucking gassed and eats a big hook downstairs....walks back to his corner like a dead man. Just jaded tired. Next few round Molina is all over him, has Wardley on the ropes then obligingly falls over after he hits Wardley..... Watch the 5th round ......and read the YouTube comments Sky Commentary team know what side their bread is buttered.....
