Rumours are afoot that Babic "came to lose".

I shall be contacting Idiotbets.com for a refund. I put money on Babic in good faith. I came for fair play and as a man born from his mother, deserve at least a fair hearing.

Babic came forward hands down, no head movement and took punches flush. Fisher threw on the "marker" of a noise being made by Babic. 10 seconds later Babic pretends to trip over himself and looked away when the ref was assessing him. VERY dodgy indeed.

This needs investigating further. I have been robbed

Shades of Ellis v Fury
I wasn`t gonna say it, but yes, that fight did come to mind.

Ellis, once touted to be the World`s first billion dollar athlete :OhYes: literally threw himself into the path of every punch Fury threw and then tripped over himself to go down and get counted out.

Big bosh v Babic had a similar whiff to it. When a guy sells 5,000 tickets a man like Fast Car will see dollar signs for his fading domestic market. Sling in Babic, have a word in his shell like and the money train rattles on.

Not saying that big Bosh had anything to do with it, his reaction to winning looked genuine enough. However, something appears rotten in the state of Denmark and I aims to get to the bottom of it.

I don`t mind losing money on a fair fight, but I feel here I came for fair play and received none.

Word in the grapevine is, Freddie "The Frightener" Flintoff is coming out of retirement for a much awaited showdown with Big Johnny Fisher.

babic is a face first fighter with chin issues. very limited survival skill. dont think it was a shady ending like darch-allen or other fights where a guy flops. he's just the type of fighter that when he loses it will almost always be bad quick losses like that. put in fisher and roznicki, both guys with heavy hands who come out bombing, and there you have similar results.

he's the kinda guy to finish his career with a record like 20 (18) - 6 (6)

Behave yourself. He got clobbered fair and square. It's not Babic's fault you don't know what to bet on.

Depends on him, he will be offered plenty of well paid work in the away corner, depends on whether he takes it, I reckon he will always lose inside the distance as the away fighter.
He might well pack up now

Funnily enough I was just watching that today. I got the strong impression that Ellis wanted the fight over with asap. I don't want to get sued or anything but you know what I'm thinking.

he was wobbled so many times in his wins too. part of the appeal was we knew he would be folded by the first big punchers he fought. none of it makes sense: blown-up cruiserweight with no defence facing a big heavyweight who bangs.
