Love your stuff, Butt -- but I stick by my score and the two judges. Props to Ward, though: He fought well and I have no problem with the result. He's a good guy and he maximizes his ability, I feel. :happy
How can you give Ward the 12th when he landed maybe 2 punches? Even round minimum. Didn't think 9 was clear for Froch either, possibly even but I saw Ward do better work. So no, this fight was not 'easy to score' but it was very easy to see the winner.
Thats great :good Sorry for the picture. You just seemed like a troll Yes, I had it 114-114. I think JMM blew it in the last two rounds. Ward clearly won this though. 118-111 for me.
Anyway, I gave Froch rounds 5 and 12. Ward everything else. 118-110. 115-113 cards were way off and extremely surprising. Credit to John Keane getting it right. Even Froch looked surprised at two judges have only 2 rounds in it.
I was referring to IB anyway, but I cant possibly see Ward winning the 12th, even though Froch was fairly ineffective Ward did nothing, ran and held.
I think the more fan-boyish a poster may be, the more I may come off as a troll. And I understand about the pic. I respect Pac. I like and respect Andre Ward. He is very cerebral, and gets the most out of his abilities. And he's humble. Hard not to like and respect that. :happy
If I don't say what I think I see, then I'm actually not respecting the other posters. It's like if I see a homeless person and say "man, you're doing great!" Sounds nice, but it's not honest. So it's not respectful. Being honest with a person is true respect, IMO. In other words, being honest = being respectful. Being honest isn't the same as being falsely "nice."
