That from a huge Whitaker fan.
when is the consensus deemed reliable and when is it not?

Originally posted by S.

Kessler's always been overrated by UK pundits ever since the Calzaghe fight. gotta puff up Sir Joe's best win over a prime fighter.Last edited by S. Saddler 1310; 01-15-2013, 07:57 PM.

but a supposed consensus is always being raised by Kessler fans to bark down any questioning of the decision in Herning, which is why i ask. i'm just wondering how we decide when it's 'ok' to acknowledge the mob and when it's time to ignore them.

Close fight but I really couldn't see how Kessler won.
That being said, on my scorecard Dirrell clearly beat Froch.

Simply put it's boxing fanboy'ism 101, and we've all been guilty of it at times.
I'm just hoping that the second fight is as competitive and exciting as the first.

i think this fight will top the first for straight up thrills and shocks, and end more decisively.
