PBP SUPER RIZIN: Mayweather vs. Asakura + RIZIN 38, Sat. 9/24, 11 PM EST/8 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

[SakurabasEar]

He got hit right on the temple with a solid right hand by a professional boxer. Your balance and legs go jello like that. That's not rigged. If it was rigged they would have made it look better for the camera.

He got hit in the vicinity of the temple, and there was not much power in it at all, I watched it like 10 times before they started pulling down the links and replays

the internet is so absurdly controlled these days compared to even 10 years ago.

It's a faceless cabal that controls what goes on most social media. You never know their reasoning or who they are, and appeals will probably fall on deaf ears

Ok man it's all a conspiracy by the Global Elite New World Order. Look into it.

 

[TITS]

I don’t think it was rigged. Mikuri just got exposed and tarnished like Tenshin once he turned it up.

You mean he got paid to take a pratfall like Tenshin once he turned it up.

Whoa, the GENWO is behind the paul v askren fix, not this one.

He moved into the punch. People think Floyd doesn't hit hard, but by mma standards he hits hard. People don't really understand the power punching difference when it comes to high/elite level boxers. Floyd walked down Conor because he wasn't worried about his punching power, Floyd would never do that and never did that in his boxing fights. He never just put up a high guard and walked people down smiling. There are levels and most mma fighters just aren't at the boxing level of high/elite boxers. Many think it's the same or similar because it's combat sports and they have been hit before in mma. Just look at Loma's and TJ's sparring session. Same thing happened, TJ tried to go all out while Loma was going light and once TJ connected Loma turned it up a little bit and started rocking TJ, who in mma is considered to have a solid chin. Loma isn't considered a power puncher in boxing. So that just shows you the power punching difference between most boxers and mma fighters. Both Floyd and Loma aren't considered power punchers by boxing standards.

So is this event happening or what? None of my streams are working

Supposedly will start at the top of the hour.

Supposedly will start at the top of the hour.

I see, thanks!

 

[TorontoTO]

Okay, I am done waiting. I'll just try to find a replay of the event on some website. All the best guys and hope you all enjoy your night

I realize and respect the difference in punching proficiency when it comes to MMA and boxing. But I've also watched enough of both in my day to know when a hit from a 14 oz glove at 147 lbs will actually ko a man. Theres very little chance that strike did the trick imo, even near the temple. Now it could have buzzed him, certainly. But that show afterwards was suspect. I could be wrong, but my gut is telling me this was a fix.

It was a solid hit on the replay. He wasn't completely out, he just didn't make the 10 count. He wasn't in the best shape either so you have to factor that in. He may not have wanted to go another round with Floyd being serious. He turned it up and Floyd responded. Same thing happened with Tenshin. I think they just realize the skill difference in those moments. Tenshin tried to discredit Floyd by doing extra stuff after getting knocked down and Asakura just decided to end it there and not do another round of Floyd being serious and going after him after he got dropped and rocked. Both of their faces changed once Floyd connected clean. Someone like Floyd is very precise, so those punches landing are going to do more damage. Floyd will hit the button and the spots that will really mess up your equilibrium. There are equilibrium shots that boxers specifically aim for.

Ugh that's an hour later than scheduled.

Shit I don't know if I wanna stay up for that.

Floyd supposedly already "retired" after selling his dignity to get carried by Logan Paul in a "no knockouts allowed" exhibition bout. Now he's back to accepting Japanese cartel money to throw horseshoes at miniature kickboxers and custom rules specialists.

Of course he didn't make the 10 count, he wasn't sopposed to. He looked stable, but he just stood there holding the ropes staring away while the ref waved it and he didn't even argue or anything. (after the round had already ended I think) Theres an idea that these guys quit after facing any adversity? I call bs on that, even with the skill differential being as big as it was.

Obviously, Floyd is a better boxer and would have won anyways. But I believe there's a concerted effort to make a show out of him here and this bad acting job was the latest episode.

Their reasoning is money. They are the tech billionaires who own things, like Mark Zuckerberg. I hope that answered all of your questions that everyone else somehow knows the answers to as well.

They needed to make it look more believable than Tenshin flopping around and bouncing off the ropes like he was at his first day of tumbling class.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

So much mental Gymnastics with the Floyd Haters trying to convince people that the fight was rigged. Why would Rizin throw their own guys under the bus just so Floyd can win? If anything it makes more sense that Rizin would want Floyd to carry Tenshin and Asakura the entire 3 rounds so they can promote how good their Japanese fighters are for being able to go the distance Floyd May Weather.

Anyone watching 38? How far along are they?
