Comments Thread For: Froch: If I Was Back Home, I Would Have Beaten Kessler

[Chip Rudd]

he probably would! but he would still beat hatton i would imagine. joe cortez spoiled the fight tho, constantly breaking up the action, letting floyd use his elbows and duck whilst turning his back and all that. fcukin joke that ref.

I hate when Joe Cortez refs. "Fair but firm" my behind.

and it would have been a hometown decision. Kessler won fair and square. Close but decisive.

this was the only fair fight of the tournament so far! Dirrell was robbed agaisnt Froch. and NO Froch would not have won this fight in the UK either..

The Judges would have ****ed Kessler over in the UK. So, I disagree with some of your post. I agree the right man won, but in the UK the wrong man would have won!

It would have been the same judges and they'd have scored it the same way. None of the judges for either Froch fight came from either of the fighters' countries. For Froch-Kessler, two judges were from Belgium and one was from Italy. For Froch-Dirrell, one judge was Mexican, one was Italian, and one was Belgian. If Froch-Kessler had been held in the UK, the same three judges would have been used and they'd have produced the same scores. The hometown excuse is just crybaby sour g****s.

lmao-of course if Froch had the fight at home he would win! He should have a loss against Andre Dirrell,but his hometown ****ed Dirrell...
In his home-town,you need to KO him to get a draw!

"you need to KO him to get a draw!" LOL. Great line.

The crowd helps sway judges though sometimes! They call these judges professionals but I disagree because sometimes the judges fall in with the crowd!

That's just speculation - there's no hard evidence that they're really influenced by the crowd. I agree that many judges are not very good, though - there needs to be better training, and trainee judges should have to pass much higher standards before qualifying to judge major fights; but I don't know how that can be achieved.

But if your theory was right, Valuev would have got the decision against Haye.
