    Ward winning has never been disputed, what has been is where people call it a clinic

    I just think that is a myth perpetuated by..I don't know who..probably people who saw the British feed and heard Froch getting willed on by the commentators.

    Ward clearly outlanded Froch in the 12th and won it IMO...and if my memory serves me correct at the very least in the 8th and 10th..And I'm not talking about compubox bull****, I'm talking about watching clean, effective punching with your own eyes.

    Froch just threw more as he got more desperate but wasn't landing anything of note...But that was the pattern of the fight in the early rounds aswell..Froch threw more and couldn't land..Ward threw less but was landing a decent clip.

    "Outworking" is pointless if you aren't effective with it..if anything it can work against you, the effective defense of your opponant can go towards him winning the round..I know it doesn't always work out that way in this day in age but thats the criteria they are supposed to be going by.

    What I'm getting at is maybe you should.

    I know what I see.. commentators have never really effected that for me..at least not since I was a kid.

    Thats not what I said at all..you interpret things like a Murdoch tabloid.

    Ward does clinch a lot and it's legality is debatable sometimes..but thats up to the ref's interpretation.

    Froch is a fiend for locking in his left arm and banging away with his right up close..he ain't to shy about rabbit punching whilst he is doing aswell..He did plenty of that against Ward.

    If Froch was the one manhandling Ward you wouldn't be calling it illegal..you would be saying how strong and alpha Carl is.

    Ward completely dominated the fight with a broken left hand. Sorry, chumps.

    Was a clear, dominant win. Who gives a **** if someone says 'put on a clinic'. Well, I guess that would be FAILEY, the king of being butt hurt. And can one blame him, he has a whole slew of team elite UKunts up his ass, he barely has any room to let out a fart.

    It was a clear win where Ward was a step ahead all along. It did not have the nerve of for example Calzaghe-Kessler where Calzaghe thought he was losing until round 7. I am sure Ward never thought he was losing even 10 seconds into the fight.

    So it was a clear win. But Froch was on the other hand not in any way schooled like a Jeff Lacy.

    Therefore is was a clear win, but not a clinic or schooling.

    Lance_Uttercunt walks right into another slap, worse than the ones he took on his one day at the gym. The words clear and dominant when you have 2 x 115/113 cards :lol:

    The fact that you mention Team Elite in every other post you make, is not only testament to our greatness, but indeed it shows that you are the 'king of being butt hurt' as you put it Lance

    STFU you inconsistent twat. You use ranking to make your point, but say other rankings mean nothing or are just based on American bias when it's against you. Same with scoring. You're an inconsistent ****, and you know it. Only idiots like you will attest Ward - Froch was close.

    Froch is FAR more entertaining though, and Ward's fights generally sell poorly. The Ward vs Dawson was probably the least anticipated fight ever between two fighters both in the Ring P4P top 6.

    Has any fight with both fighters so highly ranked P4P EVER sold so poorly?

    I really dont think so. Ward is historically boring and his not wanting to fight outside of the US in not making him any fans either. Especially in a division with a tradition of willingness to travel for the big fights.
