Roger Tilleman's scorecard?

It's not controversial enough for me to investigate further. I did not view this fight as close in a score card sense. Froch was competitive in a lot of rounds he clearly lost.

 

117-111 was too wide, but i can see how you can get to that card if you give Kessler pretty much all of the close rounds.

 

To have Kessler up 6 rounds was pretty ****ed, that suggests Kessler handed it to Froch and that simply wasnt the case, it was a close fight i had Kessler up 1 round

 

I don't care how that twat scored it. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a boxing ring. He gave one of the most corrupt performances I have ever seen in the ottke reid affair. Absolut disgrace.

For the record I didn't think Froch did enough and I think team froch got their tactics wrong!!!

 

This is a man who punished Robin Reid for Boxing.

 

I had it 116-113 for Kess, which is a 3-point gap and in between the two fair scores. I have no idea how Tilleman had a 6-point gap, that's a lot wider than the fight was.

 

I also thought Kessler won it by a couple of rounds but score cards and judges like that do nothing for the reputation of boxing and give the impression of it being a fight that Froch couldnt have won no matter what he did . Similar to Diaz Malinaggi 1 a close fight made controversial by bizarre scoring

 

To be fair, a card like that is what can happen in a close fight when judges are discouraged from scoring even rounds. It really isn't that much of a stretch to give Kessler 9 rounds in that fight if you're looking to, but instinctively after what was a competetive fight a 117-111 scorecard just looks far too wide.

 

I can see 116-112 fairly easily.

That means you only need one round the other way to get to 117-111 and it's perfectly possible that one judge might easily see one round the other way from the position they happen to be sitting ringside.

That's exactly why they give all the judges different positions around the ring, acknowledging that the fight may look different from different angles.

 

I've no problem with fans examining corrupt judges suspiciously.
