Boxing controversy: Did Briggs throw the fight 29 seconds in?

I was even an amateur kick-boxer myself back in the day, but those days are long behind me and watching said sport is now one of my favourite (safer) pastimes.

I find it strange that, while Bill Gates is busy with the noble pursuit of educating children and developing affordable tools to fight malaria, Apple seem to be more interested in securing their reputation as a horde of humourless control Nazis.
