American Homecooking: Can Froch get a decision in the States?
Given the heavy backing that american fighters get from officials in the states it doesnt bode well for froch if he pulls out a great fight and manages to win enough rounds to justify a decision.
Whether you call recent alexander fights against kotelnik & mattysse bad decisions, close fights or daylight robbery, or what you think of the judah mattysse decision or even the williams lara fight, its pretty clear that the american needs to be stopped in a lot of these situations.
Other recent decisions that were particularly bad were cintron v martinez and funeka v guzman in vegas and im sure there have been others too.
The super six final is being held in the boardwalk, atlantic city, site of the recent lara/williams farce and it was also the host of the first williams/martinez razor close fight where we saw the bizarre 119 - 110 score to williams benefit.
I just cant see froch being awarded a decision, even if he wins rounds they will just award them to ward, who has been at the nice end of a few scorecards himself, like a shutout against bika where bika clearly won a few rounds. I dont see any reason why its just not going to be more of the same.
Whether its people, networks or promotional companies influencing officials, biased officials, corrupt or incompetent officials or a combination of the above or something else, im hoping that whatever happens its not another judging controversy but wouldn’t be in the slightest bit surprised if it was.
