    I don’t mind Carl Froch getting the decision over Andre Dirrell two Saturdays ago; I had it 114-113 for Dirrell and certainly a close decision either way shouldn’t have upset anybody. But I was flabbergasted to see the official scorecards a few days ago and learn that judge Massimo Barrovecchio of Italy gave rounds 11 and 12 to Froch, which is about as justifiable as having Larry David ahead of Rosie O’Donnell at the time of the stoppage. Because his final score was reasonable, Barrovecchio might escape scrutiny, and that would be a shame. Dubiously scored rounds should be reviewed by commissioners just as carefully as dubiously scored fights.- Eric Raskin
    Hey, Larry David was one move from flipping her over and winning the fight.

    You're right, that judge should not be allowed near a ring again. I can even be generous and say the 12th was a swing round, but the 11th? There's no way in hell Froch won that round.

      A mma judge had to justify his scorecard, some of these cahracters should do the same.
