    Good Lord; Since Froch easily defeated Johnson, 118-110 was my score and the score of the press row judges at the event. All I notice on ESB is a bunch of threads about this and that guy would have and will KO Froch and now this genius claims Johnson actually deserved to win.

    Why am I not suprised?

    :lol: "Johnson beating Froch." :rofl :rofl :rofl I guess a handful of people fall into one of these options:

    Option A: You hate Froch
    Option B: You love Johnson
    Option C: You are just an idiot

    Either biasness or...you are just an idiot and don't know how to score a fight. Froch clearly won that fight.

    You can make is a close as froch by 2 rounds if you are really favoring Johnson in your scoring.

    Johnson landed some bombs but they did not stop Froch - who was hitting Johnson much more often.

    Johnson won it!? Come on now.
    116-112 Froch. Good effort from Johnson though.

    Froch, the younger fighter in his prime, out worked Johnson. It was a good fight but Froch pulled away during the mid-later rounds. Hence, the reason Johnson's corner informed him in the final round he needed the K.O.

    Here was me thinking only Judge Mr Miaggi called the fight wrong, but there are several Mr Magoos here too.

    I scored it completely differently after watching the showtime version just goes to show that most of the time the sky version is misleading due to the commentary.

    115-113 Johnson. I like hard shots rather than pitty pat combinations.

    The 2nd and 11thround were close.

    Exactly how I scored it.

    It was a complete media con job. Smothering the viewers in every way to make you believe getting rocked and throwing back combinations blocked by your opponent wins you rounds.

    **** me. lay of the crack guys.

    there is no way, not a chance, that Glen won that fight.


    He even knew that himself. Froch won by 4 rounds or thereabouts with getting out of 2nd gear.

    Are you're really saying Froch throws pitty pat combinations? Watch it again.:patsch
