How the f*** could the judges score it like that?

    Only 2 rounds in it? If it had been given a shut out to Ward I wouldn't have complained.

    They probably gave Froch the last four and the fifth.

    Really poor scoring.

    After all the talk of bias refereeing and judging, ironically it was the British Jude who scored it the widest to Ward.

    Had it the same as the British judge 118-110. Wouldn't have complained at a shut out.

    It is ironic that the british judge scored the more accurate of the 3. I got £10 on a ward MD as a long shot in case the brit judge gave a draw, but he turned out to be the most fair.

    2nd round was close, mind. The rounds Ward clearly won were big, and the counter-punches Ward clearly landed were big. But 2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 were all close.

    Wouldn't disagree with you. 115-113 was extremely confusing.

    Another shocking display of judging we witnessed today. At the absolute best Froch won 2 rounds (in reality he won none) and the judges tell us there was 2 rounds in it? Shocking, something badly is wrong with the sport. That score card makes the Helenius scoring look good.

    Will be people stop saying that Ward won by two rounds on the 115-113 card. If the incompetent judges who scored it that way gave another round to Froch it becomes 114-114 meaning a Majority Draw! On those two cards Ward in essence won by one round!

    I only had it 3 rounds to ward, but the rounds ward won were bigger and clearer.
