Was the guy not just exhausted? That's the only explanation I can think of other than a fixed fight. I really hope it wasn't fixed, we don't need or want this **** in MMA.

It was a boxing match, not an MMA fight, so it has no bearing on MMA, but the physics of the KO are absolutely ridiculous. I've been training for 15 years, fighting for 6 years, and watching fights for probably 10 years, and I've never seen someone knocked out from a hit like that, never mind falling like Cro Cop.

@skellier while i agree with you from my experience as well (not as serious as yours admittedly but watching fights a bit longer) but the only thing is the exhaustion.  Green came in a lot heavier than usual and fought til exhaustion.  People are a lot more susceptible when that tired.  

Either way i didnt enjoy the fight and its a big reason why im no longer a boxing fan.

@Pierce: An alternative to the fight being fixed is that Green simply wanted out of the fight of his own accord. I doubt he was consciously aware of how much time was left, he was taking unanswered shots, and as you said, he was exhausted. All I'm saying is the shot that he took not only shouldn't be able to knock a grown man unconscious, but even if it did, would not result in the exaggerated fall that Green took.

@skellier you might be completely right.

Paul Heyman would never lie, but anyone could see that was fixed. I've never seen anyone's head whip that bad, he definitely did it on purpose.

its Kimbo Slice boxing, which in itself, is already fishy. There is no way on earth, that a tired, and depleted Bimbo Slice knocks out a guy with 3 seconds left,  with a sloppy, and weak uppercut. the guy falls down like he was knocked out, but he hits the ground, you can clearly see he is conscious and moving around.  Brian Green has been in over 40 MMA fights, I find it hard to believe, a guy so amped to fight Kimbo Slice, would drop in the 4th round, because he didnt want to be in there. He clearly knew what round he was in, and he clearly knew that it was close to ending, it does not add up. My grandmother could have taken that uppercut, hell, sean salmon could have taken that one and stayed on his feet.

I don't know how to feel about it as far as it being a work or whatever, but if it came out that the fight was indeed fixed, i wouldn't be shocked at all.

lets call this what it is a smoker, not a boxing match.

Fixing makes me sick, it's insulting to the fans and the fighters, I'm just going to try and forget about it, it bugs the **** out of me.
