Ward did not put a clinic on against Froch at all. Just rewatched

Deluded.
You make it sound like the rounds werent close and Froch was getting a one sided hammering

The fact that you start your fight analysis with an Even first round says it all

Doesnt say a thing other than you have this ridiculous belief that if neither fighter lands, you have to score for one of the fighters because thats what certain judges like.
With that you have shown me that you cannot make a decision for yourself and that you are influenced by others. Shame on you really.
Tell me what happened in that deadly first round where one fighter was dominating to make you truly side with one over the other

and beat the best fighter at 175...deal with it

Didnt do it at 175 though, did he! That best fighter at 175 had no pedigree at SMW and his best LHW win was over a 47 year old

Slagging off this score card is stupid, if the even rounds were scored to Ward it'll be 8-4 Ward which is an okay reflection on the fight,

[PH|LLA]

Thread title is correct. People on ESB are a bit delusional. two judges gave Froch 5 rounds, that's a fact. The third gave Froch only 2.

on average 4 rounds to Froch n 8 to Ward, which is how I scored it.

[Rock0052]

What's more important than the ultimate scorecard is that I saw enough (coupled with Froch's last two performances) to have me genuinely interested in a rematch.

very well, Ward still #1

[Ahurath]

He landed all the effective shots while froch jsut looked like a plodder.

After that victory and before that loss he's looked amazing so yes he shut Froch down pretty horribly.

Ward beat Froch fair & square, but without seeing the fight with no commentators, i think Bailey might have a point, i thought Froch did enough to win some rounds and finished strong. But i still don't want too see a rematch. It's only fair if Ward comes to Denmark and shuts his critics up

[RobertV77]

Ward beat Kessler and Froch better than Calzaghe did. He also beat Dawson more convincingly.

all bailey does (repeatedly) is take a british fighter and twist/shape perspective to what bailey wants to see, and the core reason is always to build up calzaghe, in a vain attempt to get him the international recognition he never achieved

I know.

[jeffjoiner]

Not quite a new low for Failey,but that bar is set very, very low.

When you worship the slap master, not much is beneath you.

[El Terrible]

Im Frochs biggest fan and i had it 8-4 Ward.
