    What's with the spate of "Froch got robbed" threads being made in the last 15 mins?

    Is it that Showtime have just shown their version of it, and they had Froch winning?

    For the record, I had Kessler winning a close but clear fight. 7-5/8-4.

    Carl fought well but Kessler took over that fight, and Carl's technique just went to **** by the end, (even the 1-2s were winged in) and Kessler better fundamentals, ability to use the left as something other than a jab and bodywork saw him win round and come through.

    Yeah, I tuned into the ending and they had Froch up by 1, although Tarver gave it to Kessler.

    Typical dumb yanks can't score a fight for ****.

        I like how HBO will call judge's score **** when they are in fact ****.

        Shotime will tiptoe around it.

            People, when a British commentary team scores a fight for the non-Brit, I think it's a good indicator as to who won.

              Those dumb yanks thought Calzaghe/Kessler was close when I had that fight like 8-4 for Calzaghe.

                Exactly Showtime give Kessler no love at all, it's bizzare.

                  Even Buncey scored it for Kessler?! I'm gonna have to download a better Primetime version!

                  I had Kessler, BTW.

                    it was a close fight... but you think showtime wanted to break the hometown advantage so that boxers stop complaining about traveling?
