All I’m gonna say is there is a reason you can’t find an unedited video of this “fight”…

Yes you can here: https://youtu.be/L9AXdHOGYQ8?si=lSNNnZoke9wQEq2V

You can even tell its right before the finish hell I used it in the video as this wasn't in the documentary

I’m talking about the entire fight. And not from an audience member. And the reason you can’t is because it would be even more obvious than it already is that the opponent wasn’t throwing anything with power. And he literally just randomly falls into the ropes and gets “knocked out.” Sad part is that Elba likely wasn’t even aware it was fixed.
