And then they stick to stubborn, completely ridiculous arguments like this no matter how much people explain otherwise and I'm reminded why I act like a d*ck to the others I shouldn't act that way towards. At least with Daggum I know he's just messing around and working people up. I can enjoy that.

    I wish there was some way I could argue Ward/Froch was close. Dude lost handily, though.
    Froch came on late when he was gassed, that's it and he still didn't dominate those rounds, Ward kind of gave them away.

    What annoys me the most about the new fans is they aren't clued up on the sport which is fine that's completely normal when you're new to the sport but then they have ridiculous uninformed opinions and act all high and mighty with them. What the **** is that about?

      froch was the one trying to press the action, ward was making cobra look clumsy but shots ward landed with werent solid. were cuffing shots, not hurtful shots at all. Cant remember exactly how i scored it but i think i had ward 1 or 2 rounds up

        I didn't bother reading all of that. Ward is nothing like Broner and that should be obvious to anyone.

                lol wtf are you talking about. Salido won fair and square. Being a fanboy is trying to justify a loss because the winner cheated in your mind. If he cheated the win would be overturned to a NC or a loss. Facts are facts.

I thought dirrell edged it against him, and taylor was outboxing him although hell of a comeback from froch. DOnt get me wrong froch was a really good fighter and a true warrior, but i dont think its that amazing a win, to beat him on a decision and it was very close on the scorecards too, i thought it was a close fight when i watched it. just my opinion on it...

                  Yes, it is amazing actually. Froch isn't the best "boxer" on paper but his power, chin, and heart more than compensate for that. Not just any fighter can beat a prime Froch, even one that can out box him.

                  Direll and Taylor lost, pointing at close fights that a fighter won regardless is petty and essentially a straw argument, they are hypotheticals that can never be answered.

                  A CLOSE FIGHT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT A GOOD WIN!
