Known 'Fixed' fights

[Nile4000]

Don't know if it was fixed, but Michael Dokes-Mike Weaver I was very fishy.

[Sklar]

Do we class fights where a local ticket seller boxes a journeyman who 'knows his job' as fixed? If so, there are thousands every year.

You misread the thread; it's not outcomes you didn't like.

Fights can be fixed in a multitude of ways. It's not always a mutual fix or a dive. It can be like Lewis vs Holy I where Holy knew if he just played it safe and lasted 12, King had the judges under control.

I looked at the two judges, one who score for Holyfield (Eugenia Williams) and the other who called it a draw (Larry O'Connell) - nothing much stands out in Eugenia Williams history that makes him look crooked, or even having a any history with King fighters. (A more knowledgeable eye might see more.) Eugenia Williams does seem to spend a lot of time in New Jersey

Larry O'Connell on the other hand does have one odd decision - He is out of step with the others judges on the (1999) De La Hoya-Quartey bout; but did King have a contract with Ike Quarterly or De La Hoya? - If King was promoting De La Hoya then he certainly wouldn't have like O'Connell's decision.

Earlier (1998) O'Connell had Gonzalez over Chavez; was King still promoting Chavez in 1998, because if so King certainly couldn't have liked that call.

I don't see which judges you feel Don King had in his pocket. - I do agree with your assessment that fights can be 'fixed' at many levels. I like to reserve the word fixed for 'dives' - fights where the gambling crowed has taken an interest. - But no doubt fixing judges is as old as the game itself.

I think Eugena Williams was a Holyfield fan.Just like that other woman had a crush on Canelo in the Mayweather fight.

[Controversial]

Haye was investigated after the Audley Harrison fight and was reprimanded for saying he made a lot of money after betting on a 3rd round win. It was quite bizarre how nothing happened for two rounds and then it came alive in the 3rd. Match fixing is rife in a lot of sports.

Is this fixing though? It would have been fixing if Audrey had agreed to take a dive in the third but I'm not sure what Haye did qualifies as illegal or not?

It would still fall under illegal match fixing as one fighters actions purposely affected the outcome of a fight. Not match fixing in the normal manner but ending a fight at a particular time to gain money is still illegal and would fall under the bracket of "fixing".
