How many of Mike Tyson’s fights were fixed?

If I had to guess, I would say the Etienne fight was fixed.

 

McNeely, the trainer was in on it and apparently betting the fight
Seldon didn't try to win at all.

 

Well cmon, anyone with two eyes could tell the buster fight was fixed. The count was clearly unfair.

 

I think Mills Lane did not DQ him after he first bit Holyfield? It was not until he went for the second chomp

 

I don’t know if he & Seldon were involved in a fix or not, but I know neither were legitimately knocked out. People still defend the Etienne KO. Staggering.

 

His supporters carry that torch for him as well. There’s always an excuse.

 

I suspect that some of his earlier prospect fights against stiffs who knew they were there just get beaten probably dropped

 

Never heard of the counts being the same, I may be wrong on that. And I believe every Tyson defeat was real except Holyfield who blatantly cheated multiple times. Also the asterisks joke was funny.

 

Not educated on this, not sure.

 

I dunno. Etienne you'd think him being ko'd but still taking the mouthpiece out is suspect, but he's actually done that (took his mouthpiece out) in a number of fights when he's gotten clocked.

And Bruce Seldon and the belly flops, I've seen him sprawl out like that in a few fights as well. So maybe they're both just professional, "when it's hot in the kitchen, overdo it to get out the ring" floppers.

Fixed as in Tyson could've been dq'd in a few fights though? Absolutely.

 

I'm a Tyson fan, but as Saintpat said, Tyson received the same count as Buster so no excuse. Buster was simply better that night.

I don't believe the Etienne KO was fake, his leg twisted badly when he fell, maybe he could have gotten up but assessed that it was pointless.
