The Enigma of this Prizefight

One just has to wonder. If we were discussing a prize fight and we had one fighter who trained very hard, skipping rope, doing his road work, shadow boxing, facing the most deceptive of sparring partners, having his sessions open to the public; and the other, his opponent, did not train, did not skip rope, did no road work, no shadow boxing, no sparring partners, no sessions open to the public...and then the night of the big fight you had the one who trained way after so many rounds way ahead on points. But then suddenly the fight was inexplicably stopped. And during this postponement came a conference, judges and referree and after some consultation the ref returns to the center of the ring and raises the limp arm of the battered one who had not trained. As a boxing fan doesn't it make you even a little suspicious that the fight was fixed?
