I called an upset from when this fight was first made. I think Froch believes his own hype since taking a massively overhyped Bute apart. I also rate Groves, he moves well and has genuine power, he's also shown steady improvement to now. Whatever happens tho, Groves has definitely got under Froch's skin and has him rattled. He made him look emotional and stupid at that press conference!
Game on!!!! Cant wait for Sat night.. Froch-Groves then Pac-Rios :boxing:
I just rewatched it and I like yourself gave Froch 2,5 and 8. I thought 5 and 8 were pretty clear Froch Rounds. 2 could have gone either way IMO.
I gave Groves Round 3 but I thought 3 was quite a close round aswell so I could actually see your scorecard :lol1:
So I had it 5-3 going into the 9th and Froch clearly would have won the 9th so going into the last 3 Rounds it would have been 5-4 (With a KD) on my card. Domination!!!
After rewatching it being able to hear clearly (Was in a Casino when I watched it live) the commentary was worse than I originally thought.
Also, to say Groves took no punishment is even more ridiculous than I once thought. Even in the rounds he won clearly like the 4th, 6th and 7th he took solid punches.
And to say his face didn't look that bad in the post fight interview is another baffling observation.
Admittedly don't agree with the way you saw the rounds, but boxing is subjective so each to their own.
Will certainly admit that Groves did take some punishment and was very marked up in the conference after.
I think the 6th round did that!
IMO, rds 2,5(I believe this it's the Rd) and 8 where Froch rds..2 and 8 I remember i thought were clear Froch Rd..I'll have to go back and see the fight out look at my card for the rest..If be more then happy to debate the rds I scored for Froch..I'm out right now, but when I get a chance we can do that..

Again I never said Bradley won the Rd..Just ignore the rest of the post tho,I get it..
You said there could be a case which is enough for you to be certifiably retarded.
Oh I don't know, maybe because Bradley was absolutely out on his feet and rocked back by Provodnikov's punches?!?!
Good lord, I can't even have this discussion any more. Im dealing with a grade A moron.
A guy is out on his feet and badly hurt yet he wins a round? Absolutely incredible stuff.

Do you have eyes, how was Prov punches effective at that point??

There was nothing on Bradley's punches. He was the one who was hurt. He was just swinging arm punches aimlessly. Do you have eyes? What does it matter if he kept punching when they were all INEFFECTIVE.
Do you have eyes, how was Prov punches effective at that point?? They both were punching pretty aimlessly..Bradley got hit with a good shot a few secs before that crazy exchange by the ropes..My point is had it not been for the one punch, Bradley would have clearly won the Rd..Although hurt Bradley never gave the play away..I think most have the Rd to Prov, my point is there was a case for Bradley winning that Rd..I even seen a few people say they scored it for him..I could kinda see why, even tho me personally I did not score that Rd for him..
Again I never said I scored the round for Bradley..Again Bradley never stopped punching,as far as Bradley stumbling around, do you mean when Bradley told Prov to come on as he meet him punch for punch..I believe you have this fight confused with one of Khans epic Bambi dances..

Didn't even see it.
Basically, you saying that certain rounds went to certain fighters because that's your opinion and just because 99% of people may disagree doesn't make you wrong, is silly.
Yea I know, and boxing is not a subjective sport..Ok..:wtf1:

good comeback bro.
Do you know what the aim of boxing is? It's to do damage to your opponent. Provodnikov had Bradley seriously hurt, his legs were gone and he was stumbling around the ring like drunk man.
Bradley round ya'll!

Lmao it is my opinion, as his post was his..There was nothing factual from the post you responded to numbskull..

Can you show me where it says that in any judging rule book, or did you just make that up and trying to pass your opinion of as fact??:rofl:

Bradley round ya'll!
It's his opinion Dirk..
Boxing is a subjective sport apparently.

There is no case for someone who is out on their feet and hurt for winning a round. Absolutely no case whatsoever. And it just shows that you really don't know what you're talking about at all.

Link with ya lies..
What i said was, you can make a case, not that I scored it for Bradley..The truth be told, Bradley was on his way to clearly winning that Rd before getting hurt..He also never stopped punching,so I believe a case can be made for him winning that Rd..Never said I scored it for him..Please don't miss quote me..

I don't know why I continually try to reason with this clown. I can't remember what fight it was - I think it was Bradley-Provodnikov
The round where Bradley was absolutely out on his feet and hurt. This guy scored the round for Bradley because he "carried the pace". Forget the fact that the guy was on queer street. He carried that pace baby! :lol1:

I said if you were being generous you could give Froch 3 rounds. Very generous. So yes another round is far-fetched. Saying it was an even fight is just ridiculous.
Groves was pushing Froch back. He had control of the centre of the ring. Froch was hitting air with his jab most of the time because he was worried about what was coming back. They were fighting on Groves' terms for almost the entire fight.
IMO, rds 2,5(I believe this it's the Rd) and 8 where Froch rds..2 and 8 I remember i thought were clear Froch Rd..I'll have to go back and see the fight out look at my card for the rest..If be more then happy to debate the rds I scored for Froch..I'm out right now, but when I get a chance we can do that..
