prove to me dirrell got robbed against froch..

Noteworthy? Nah. Only Campillo and he got robbed against Shumenov recently, in Las Vegas, USA, how ironic, isn't it?

what about Martinez. Cintron and PW. Fighters from Spain should definitely avoid the US

I wouldn't call Martinez-Williams a robbery. I think that fight can be scored for Williams.

However, it was an atrocious scorecard.

Too bad boxing doesn't work this way, there are no special rules for title fights. Every boxing fight, title or not, the winner is declared by whoever wins the most rounds, PERIOD. This notion that "he didn't do enough to take the title" is absolutely moronic (unless the fight actually ended in a draw (6 rounds to 6 rounds)). Either froch won more rounds or he didn't and there is no way in hell froch won 6-7 rounds.



^^^JOKE^^^

If you disagree with that approach that's one thing but to say that sentiment never existed is plain lying.

Why does Manny Steward or Letterman feel the same? Talk to any older boxing fan. Since it first started through to the 1980's at least that was pretty much standard when scoring a title fight.

I don't know and don't think it was ever an actual rule written down on a page somewhere but every sport has 'unwritten rules'. that is one in boxing and always has been until recently.

Wasn't a robbery (aside from the 118-110 card)

The closest i personally could have scored it, being as generous to PW as possible, was a draw. That 1 card lets you know someone has their pockets stuffed though.

The Cintron decision (s) lol where ..............not even a word for it.. I just feel bad for Martinez.

I don't know who is more delusional, Carl Froch or TS.

IMO, who you have winning the fight comes down to how you split the last two rounds.

I haven't watched the fight in a few months, but I felt rounds one through ten were pretty decisive as to who won them. However over the last two rounds it comes down to whether you preferred Williams' volume or Martinez's fewer, but cleaner blows.

I had it 115-113 Martinez, but can see a draw or 115-113 Williams.
