    Froch would not be able to fight like that against Hopkins.

    B-Hop would slow it right down.

    Froch won 117-111, Kessler got outworked, hurt more and I essentially gave him only round 6 & I believe 11...there where a couple close rounds but I gave them to Carl because he was more busy and answer everytime Kessler landed a good shot...

    118-110 is not out the realm of possibility, there were only two rounds Mikkel won decisively...he just didn't do enough he was dominated, I mean 497 punches over 12 rounds, he didn't try to win...

    115-113 and I'm local to Carl, but i gave Kessler 2 rounds that could have gone to Carl. People moaning about British scorecards when Byrd and co were scoring? ******s, even Lederman had a crazy score.

    If I was Ward, i'd stay away from fighting Froch in England. He'd need a KO to win and he just doesn't have that type of power. A pretty close fight IMO, Kessler-Froch II was, turned into a near shutout for Froch. Same exact thing happened with Froch-Pascal. Great, close, 115-113 type of fight, turned into a near shut out by the judges. Bradley-Witter and Froch-Dirrell also had bull**** scoring.

    Ward should rightfully stay away from a UK fight with Froch. No matter what whiny fans say. It's not them that are going to train for 2 months, seemingly beat a guy, then get unfair scoring.

    Biased? i thought it was an obvious Froch rd unless you think only of one moment when Kessler landed that shot and Froch leg almost buckled/crossed

    I know people will go wild on esb these next few days and overrate froch. Remember this was a battleworn older kessler and someone like Ward will school him again with two good hands esp.

    The Sky crew are well pissing me off.

    Are now having a go at Ward saying he is afraid to fight Froch in the UK.

    Ward go to the UK

    I'm a fully aware who Byrd is. Fully aware.

    It just doesn't matter where they are from. A hometown fighter does not need home town judges to a get a hometown decision. I hate that rgument that "But the judges were foreign". That does not matter.
