he had to, as he's said before he has great respect for him (see post fight interview). That or he was so elated to see Silva go down he wasn't thinking clearly.

On why the fight was supposedly thrown:Reason #1: This is once more disproved by both his post-fight interview and press conference, both of which he says he will not retire.Reason #2: Once more, he has said he is not retiring. Roy Jones wasn't surprised because: ""With Anderson, what I saw, was a guy who was playing because for so long now he's been wanting to box me," Jones said. "I don't even think the fight with this kid, Weidman, was on his mind. I think he was really out to show he had the razzle dazzle fortrain for those fights 6 days a week away from his family. As a former champ, he still gets paid lots of money to fight lesser opponents. Since his contract is pre-negotiated, he doesn't get paid more for fighting in a title fight. He only gets marginally more money winning those fights. Fighting, not for the title, as he says in the post fight interview, would allow him to spend less time training and more time teaching and spending time with his family. Those are the things he says, in the same interview, that he wants to focus on. Furthermore, non-title fights are only 3 rounds. Title fights are 5. Those extra two rounds require championship fighters to be in peak cardio shape. Silva could stop training right
