    The Rocky Fielding who showed up last night would have given Ward and Froch a tough night... Possibly have stopped them.
    Fielding took risks Ward never took (Froch did) and travelled as the away fighter to beat an undefeated prime title holder.

    I can't tell anything from that fight. It had a weird feel to it. I'm really pleased for Rocky because he's clearly a good lad and it's nice to see a dream come true for someone, but I have no idea whether it was him pulling a special performance out the bag or more about his opponent.

    Stop it. Froch and ward are both 10000 light years better than fielding.

    The former isn't true but the latter is. Fielding took a risk going to one of the most corrupt places in boxing and stopped the local guy.

    Ward would've schooled him and stopped him mid-late rounds. Froch would just blast straight through him.

    Zeuge wasn't the title holder, George Groves is.

    Ridiculous. Rocky did well last night but Zeuge has never been near elite. Ward and Froch were elite. Rocky also has a glass chin. Both Ward and Froch could come out of retirement and KO Fielding within 3 rounds at 175.

    I looked at your post here in a fair and non bias way looking only at the facts. Facts upset many posters on ESB and I hope after reading you to will look past any bias you may have... Below

    You rate Ward and Froch as they fought a tough fight together.
    Now when did Ward fight an undefeated SMW champ? When did Ward fight a prime SMW champ? When did Ward travel to contest a SMW world title?
    Fielding did all that in one go and did the job in style.

    I tried to look further into your post and Zeuge had beaten P Smith at SMW who Ward only faced at a catch weight that suited him rather than SMW

    Fieldings pressure would be tough for Froch and Ward who take breaks. Ward with holding and Froch in general in rounds
