    I had Froch winning the fight and I won't call it a robbery if anybody had it for Kessler..That's not what I'm talking about(sorry if that's the way it came across)I was talking about the judging..Do you really believe Froch won 1 rd in that fight??A judge did,that's what I mean with robbery..

    I felt the same way with Pwilly Martinez 1,a judge gave Martinez a rd??Must've went to sleep after rd one..

      They should go where they have the chance chance to sell tickets though I assume by the end they won't. That ain't AC. Johnson bringing the heat in Nottingham would mean thousands of rabid fans on the edge of their seats and boxing looking like a big time sport on TV. Fighting in the small room in AC will look like just another fight in a Bingo room.

      No brainer.

        The widest scorecard had Froch winning 3 rounds (which I agreed with). I saw most of the swing rounds to Kessler but recognize there were a lot of swing rounds and have seen it closer since. The scoring was fine.

        I haven't seen a bad decision yet in the Six. I thought Froch narrowly edged Dirrell and it was a non-issue in other fights.

            While reading your work I generally agree with most of what you say. With that said, I must respectfully disagree about the Froch v Dirrell fight.

                If it's truly about the fans, okay, I admire that. If it's that he wants everything stacked in his favour, I'm disappointed. Froch seemed willing to fight anyone anywhere, sure he complained a lot but he still went.

                      Thank god you don't teach math since you read the scores and thought someone only gave Froch 1 round.
