    Just watched it there.

    Had Johnson by a point, gave him 6 rounds, gave Froch 5 and 1 even.

    I haven't been online so what's the general consensus?

    Me too, I understand people for taking Froch on this one but from my point on view I had Johnson winning. This was a very close fight...

    I had 115-113 for the road warrior

    no way he won...his workrate dropped and Froch swept the championship rounds

    Johnson put up a good fight, but he lost

    Jphnson won 4 rounds at the most! Froch even if he wasn't landing all his shots, was atleast throwing. Johnson landed the odd right hand and spent a lot of the night with a high guard block punches. Sorry but that don't win you rounds. Ask Abraham/Clotty!

    Come on.

    Johnson, his trainer and DiBella all admit he lost. If the fight was barely close, they wouldn't admit it. They all know they lost and they lost by a large margin. If you think Johnson won, I'm not sure what you're judging fights on. Froch landed more punches and at a high percentage. There's very little justification to make this a close scorecard never mind give Johnson the win.

    Froch by at least 5 points.

    When I score a fight, on a round I consider close I always give it to the fighter I am not supporting (I was supporting Froch) e.g. I gave the first round to Johnson. But even doing that I still had Froch winning by 2 rounds.

    I had it even going in to the 11th but I think too many people gave johnson rounds for landing 1 or 2 good shots, cause froch's head was snapped back. His head snaps back cause he leaves it in the air, Johnson keeps his low so when a big shot lands it doesn't look as impressive. Froch landed more solid shots than people give him credit for.

    Both fought well but Froch landed more and despite fighting off the back foot mostly controlled the fight.

    i had froch winning 3 rounds, johnson slowed down alot in the final 4 rounds of the fight, Carl took them all, so if you had Johnson up by 2 rounds, you gave him rounds 1-8.

    you need to watch the fight again.

    Froch won closely but he won. Japanese judge was being kind.

    I'm wondering if anyone else in the US had the broadcast pausing or skipping literally every half a second for the entire broadcast. Was that just on my tv or did that happen to everyone? It made it impossible for me to really judge the fight or enjoy it for that matter. I was furious at showtime, but maybe I should just be pissed at Cox (my cable provider).
