    With the way things are it can be corrupt everywhere but robberies in America are far less than overseas.

    Listen.....Dirrell has some fantastic skills but he's going to have to unlearn some very bad habits if he ever wants to be a big draw. Those bad habits cost him against Froch....he should take it as a lesson. In my view he deserved to lose that fight.


    Kotelnik did not deserve to lose.

    U got to be a ****** to compare the two.

    Direll vs froch was close. Froch got the nod and direll aka the ***** ran and held for 9rds.

    Kotelnik vs Alexander was pure ownage! 10-2 for kotelnik who should be the new champ.

    USA is the new Germany for boxing scoring.

    I disagree, you would need to be halfway ******ed to score it for Froch who didn't land anything at all for the whole fight. Shadow boxing and punching air doesn't score points. The fights are comparable robberies. I would say that Kotelnik deserved the victory more then Froch though. Both decisions make me sad to call myself a boxing fan.

    What do you base this assertion on? A feeling that you have? Stats or STFU.

    How the **** was Dirrell-Froch a robbery? I like Dirrell but no way was that a robbery. Look at the ****ing definition of robbery. You think just because a person loses which was a close fight it's a robbery. The scorecards were close.

    Now Kotelnik-Alexander is arguably a robbery/

    Still there is no reason on earth for the Italian Judge to give froch the 11th and 12th rounds which gave froch the win. If that judge gives dirrell the 11th round then froch doesn't win. Froch needed both rounds and NOBODY ON ESB WILL COME OUT AND SAY FROCH WON THE 11TH round. Nobody who lands less than 5 clean powershots up stairs should win when they were hit by close to 40 clean power shots themselves.

    Seeing that it took an idiot to give froch the 11th round then yes it is a robbery because that's what it took. Who thinks Froch won both of the championship rounds? WHO'S POCKET WAS THAT ITALION JUDGE IN?

    I don't see how people say Dirrell-Froch was close. Froch landed a few punches on him and looked like an idiot(not calling him one but he fought like one). Dirrell outboxed him but he didn't run as much as people say he did, he countered Froch beautifully in the first few rounds. He wasn't "scared" he was nervous as hell because that was the biggest fight of his career at the time and he's never been in a tournament like the S6. I can see why people see why Kotelnik can be considered "robbed" because like Dirrell, he landed the better punches IMO. I'm actually a fan of Alexander & Dirrell but I feel Kotelnik did enough to win probably much more than Devon because his shots looked much more effective. I'll have to score Alexander-Kotelnik soon but I'll rewatch it a few times before I do that. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion but this is mine.

    Froch did land a few good shots but they were far inbetween. I remember watching a Willie Pep interview and he said something like, "It's better to run away so you can fight another day" lol. He's right in a way because those warriors get into too many battles though that entertains the fans it doesn't suit longetivity for their careers. Kotelnik did deserve to win WAY more than Froch did.
