Ya
I think this may be funky...I need to see it on a bigger screen and see replays of the landed punches to be completely convinced....the way Tenshin flopped to his belly after first knockdown is laughable to me
Might just be a dive for clicks paid for by Rizin...I can't blame em if so, Millions will watch these clips today...and they are all over youtube and not being taken down mysteriously
But I though Floyd Conor was in no way a legit fight so I tend to err on the side of disbelief if I sense funky body language in fights
Why would you fix a fight when the outcome was clear when the fight was booked? Why fix it to make Floyd win? Why does Rizin pay Floyd so much money to come over, and then fix a fight to make their young star look terrible against him?
You don't. Tenshin flopped around oddly, but there is literally zero reason to fix that fight.
And
@Rambo John J it's not mysterious when Rizin isn't taking things off of YouTube right after they air. I have watched every single Rizin fight I've ever seen on YouTube, and there's never been a fight I was looking for that wasn't on there.

You just defeated your own idea imo.
If they're going to fix a fight for Floyd to win (which is stupid in the first place because Floyd was always going to win), why did they do it against their big prospect? Nobody gains from that.

Just shows how good Conor is
film don't lie tenshin literally faked being hit.. the punch didn't even land and tee l he reacted to it... what is your reasoning for him. falling from a punch that was half a foot from him?
I was in the middle of responding to you earlier but I wasn't positive I had the same video, but I think you are looking at the right hand when in actuality it was the left hand that dropped him. Things look different in slow motion and timing-wise it's easy to assume that the fall was in time with the right hand, but the left hand is what did the damage. I also don't think it was a knockdown in the sense that it rocked his brain. I think he lost his balance.
its comical ppl think it's so unthinkable for this to be fixed.. the fkn film don't lie.. the ws 1 legit punch that landed and hinsey eased only after floyd realized it was looking bad.. i'm over arguing with ppl that won't even acknowledge he fell from a phantom punch.
Shame it was lackluster. I never watched much lethwei tbf. I saw fightpass included it along with muay thai from Lumpinee stadium but unfortunately they got some random shows instead of the most stacked ones. Doubt they can tell one from another

First one was a trip
Second one was a hard dig to he body and a massive uppercut
By the third one he was already toast

Ok, Dana
he seen the right coming and literally jerked his head bk like he was being hit by it...floyd was not even in shape she was throwing sloppy compared to his typical punches.. Japan has a history of theatrics with combat sports and wrestling and crossing them over..to think that wouldn't set this up to get paid and make it so nobody technically lost.. this is the same ppl that pay bob sapp to take dives constantly..ppl are too caught up in why they wouldn't do it and ask why they would... I'll never believe it wasn't
I just addressed your point.
Also, you won't acknowledge that there's no reason to fix the fight.
"You know what would be good? If one of our best stars gets embarrassed and cries in the ring on our New Year's show! We gotta make sure this happens!"
Tenshin cried like a baby in the ring. Someone lost this fight, clearly.
Even Caposa disagrees with you and he knows a looooooot more than me. Likely more than both of us. He said it's clear that it isn't a work, especially considering the fact that Rizin doesn't benefit from it.
I know he did.. and connor didn't fall from a phantom punch and act so over dramatic..if he was that hurt like he ws putting on he couldn't have gained his composure that fast and moved around when just 10 seconds earlier he was flipping like a Mexican jumping bean.
ask them why they fixed it.. why would they keep putting sakaraba their savior out there at 50 to get killed by manhoef? they don't give a fk about fighters they care about their organization..I wouldn't question shit if the fight wasn't a joke and there's 1000s that agree..
Show me credible people who agree.
Also, what does their 50 year old savior getting killed by Manhoef have to do with fixing this fight? Why does them not giving a fuck about fighters have anything to do with this fight being fixed? You said they care about their organization. How does ensuring that Floyd embarrasses your star help your organization? There's no logic there.
Caposa is the foremost expert with this shit, at least that I know of, and he's not on board because in this situation, a fix makes zero sense. Would have been the most unnecessary fix of all time.
floyd ws co promoting with them he said himself.. show me a credible person that would put their prized possession in a fight that he was outmatched in every aspect? but if they make it a work floyd don't kill him and will pull his punches and everybody get paid...if they were so worried about the kid they would've never agreed to this shit.. and the whole exhibition clause matches it worse..
UFC literally just did this with Conor McGregor.
So what is the end game? What was the goal?
