    The guy isn't being that biased, I'm British and Froch is a hero.

    But the Dirrell fight is debatable hence why people still talk about it, personally I think the judges got it correct, a slim Froch win. The Ward fight was kinda unfortunate for Froch, it's a good example of when scoring round by round is counted against a fighter because there was a fair amount of close rounds, my score was 9-3 Ward on the night 10-2 second time and 9-3 third time, which suggests that Froch got absolutely dominated even though he just got beat.

    In regards to the question in the thread, unless Ward has hugely improved or Froch gets old over night I expect a very similar fight, if it's in the UK and Froch gets enough rounds close enough to give him he will win and there will be massive cries of robbery.

    :lol: It took Kessler almost 40 fights to step up. Try again.

    LoL You have been a bitter old man since Bute got severely outclassed by a guy you felt was a limited plodder... Try again.

    So are you going to explain how Kessler's shopworn only having fought wash ups the past few years, or you gonna keep deflecting?

    Froch becomes an average fighter when he’s put in with a boxer that’s not there to be hit. I expect him to beat a robotic, past-prime Kessler, but the moment he’s back in there with someone who can box, move and has a half-decent sense of defence, Froch’s back to being the crude fighter he is. Toughness and grit can only take you so far. There’s nothing in Froch’s game to suggest he can even come close to beating Ward in a rematch.

    Personally I don't think Kessler is shopworn. He is not as fast as he used to be (feet and hands), but definately not shopworn...

    I just find it funny that a huge fan of stay at home Bute, who was brutally KTFOed the first time he stepped up, feel the need to emphasize Kesslers quality of opponents... :yep

    115-113 are joke cards. British commentators said as much themselves.


    Froch won 2 rounds, end of story.

    I think I remember giving him only one round out of generosity.
