They're good friends and seriously, that punch Wilder KO'ed Scott with, it was caught in Scott's arms and just scratched the surface of his face, he jumped backwards as if it was planned he should do so. That explains the "get your popcorn" bag on Scott's head at the build up.

It's clear to anyone. The left hand was a slap and the right didn't land.

Scott can't eat punches, we already seen that against Chisora. The left didn't hit his temple very hard, but it hit. Thats enough! If it lands very hard, something bad happens. Watch at the Liakhovich knockout! And this guy had brawls before, unlike chinny Scott.

The fact that a punch landed, even if it was a slap, is sufficient for some posters to believe that Scott wasn't diving or even just exaggerating. To be fair, I can't say it wasn't a legitimate KO in which he was stopped because the blow left him unable to go on despite his best efforts to continue, but I have my doubts.

obviously a dive

very low point for the heavies

I'm in the same ballpark you're in I guess. Looked sketchy to me @ best, but I'm in the middle between some cats who say it was definitely a KO & the cats who say it was definitely a dive.
