For people that Youtube takes forever to load (and its not really even worth watching this whole video). Basically, guy gets knocked out really quickly. They show the replay and the punch to the head is at best a glancing hit that in no way would cause a knock out so the announcers are wondering wtf. Crowd boos, the winning boxer takes the mic and it plays out about like a WWE episode with the guy talking (nothing happens, he just talks).

One of the comments says the losing boxer apparently had a condition and wasn't cleared to fight by some organization, so they changed the venue. There's also some mention of the hit he takes in his lower left abdomen might have actually been what caused him to go out.

the more i read about him the more i think it was not a dive. the guy SHOULD NOT have been cleared to fight. he has major health issues.

he has brain damage and even that glancing blow may have been enough to put him down.

Yeah, sounds like a mess regardless. Fight should not have happened in the first place. Then obviously the fans aren't happy with how it ended. And then the guy going off WWE style.

lol. Brain damage? Are you serious? Did the guy expect to not him in the head?

I thought for a minute he was just one of those guys who had his nut sack place on top of his head.

If he has brain damage to that extent he needs to wear a helmet when he drives around Jules and hits those speed bumps.

He didn't take a dive on purpose.

yes, the guy has brain damage, and that's why he retired. apparently he was hard up for money and was pushing to get back into the ring, and nobody wanted him to fight. In previous sparring matches for practice he was stumbling around.

He should have never been in the ring. There was a huge article posted about it on Digg.
