    What's the host country have to do with this?? Some terrible decisions happen in the US too, and it does not isolate europeans alone, but other nations as well...

    Really? I don't see how me stating my feelings can possibly alter facts. Now, if someone reads my comments and cant see the facts because they are pissed that I called their country a shithole, then that I understand. Doesn't make the fight any less corrupt.

    Ans yes, I understand the ref was from Panama...wtf does that have to do with anything? Either he was paid off to ref like that, or was scared that if he took a point from Froch he would be murdered on the way to the airport. Again, none of that takes away from the fact that the fight was obviously biased heavily towards the hometown fighter to the point of obvious corruption. There is no way to even debate it, short of saying that because I called the place a shithole, that it invalidates my statement, which is ignorant.

    And I am not complaining about the decision in and of itself (which was also bull****) but more of the illegal crap that Froch was allowed to get away with at every point of every round of the fight.

    i'm not saying i agree with all the TS is saying, but just because the refs and judges are from eslewhere doesn't mean there's no bias towards the home country. the key is the promoter's etc. you always see bull**** decisions etc towards the home guy but their being 'foreign' judges. they purposely get apparently "neutral" judges so it doesnt look as obvious. again not saying that this decision was that bad. but the ref taking a point was a joke

    Froch was the only one staggered in the fight.


    You probably should have watched it before commentating on it.

    Thats a flawed argument since its applicable to any country in the planet. But to isolate the place, just how the TS said it, is unfair and is not warranted. Same can be said in the stateside actually. That was a bull**** decision just like some fights that happened all around the world.

    That's my point. I had Dirrell winning myself but to win the belt you have to take the fight to the Champion. The sad part is he almost did that. If not for the jumping around, holding, etc. How many times did Andre slip & fall? That's not going to convince the judges that you deserve to be Champ.
