    Its part of Froch's make up, he got beat fair and square. Thats all there is to it!

    He hasn't got the capability of taking the loss on the chin and moving on, so he has to defend by saying it was a robbery. Robin Reid vs Sven Ottke was a robbery, Froch losing in a competetive fight where his poor defence was capitalised upon doesn't make it a robbery. Froch is a warrior dont get me wrong, but he isnt the elite boxer he thinks he is! I am praying he wins against Abraham and fights Ward. He will get absolutely schooled. Then hopefully he can admit defeat and move on...

    Rob, are you talking about the Dirrell fight or the Kessler fight? I remember Tarver thought Froch had done enough to beat Dirrell. And Showtime's scores, last I checked, aren't official. Three judges scored it for Kessler. Whose opinion matters more: Showtime's or theirs'?

    Froch wasn't focused? Based on what? He looked as inept and clumsy as in his wins. He just doesn't listen to his trainer or anyone's advice.

    For Froch to beat Abraham means needing to either catch Abraham when he opens up, or to outwork him. Problem: Froch isn't fast enough to counter Arthur before he tucks up and he's not exactly a high-output fighter to keep the Armenian on the defensive. Plus Froch's own defence is so porous that he's going to get caught by a much harder puncher than Kessler, Dirrell or Taylor.

    I don't see how anyone thinks Froch has the beating of Kessler. If anything Kessler will find it easier next time.

    There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Abraham is a bigger banger at 168 than these 3.

    I scored it 2 rounds to Froch but it was very close so I cant complain about him losing, especially after the joke of a result vs Dirrel. However, the fight showed me that Kessler's a shadow of the fighter he was an though he should easily beat the overmatched Green, I see his semi final opponent comfortably beating him

    it'll be knock abraham out or get knocked out, i bet froch gives it a good go early on to try an stop arthur but i reckon he'll gas and arthur will have him on ***** street, does the ref save froch or will he get ironed out first?

    I think the fight is signed for Canada (that was the last I heard anyway).

    There's no evidence to suggest that he isn't.

    good, if so aa cant relax in the fight, as he knows he needs to fight every round, carl outboxes him for nine rounds, three rounds close and froch is the winner. goes on to fight dirrell again, as he beats ward on points, because he cant hurt dirrell and the matrix is to slick for ward.:good

    Haye beat Valuev in Germany:huh

    I think boxers/fans/promoters/tv/everyone get too worked up about 'home town' decisions in world title fights. FFS, the judges and ref are usually neutral, so what benefit of them is it to favour the home fighter? Unless they are taking back handers, natch, but you have to presume that doesn't happen.

    People see 'home town' decisions in domestic fights both here and in the states-like Diaz v Malignaggi 1-and use it as an excuse for defeat in world title fights.

    Froch lost a close fight against Kessler, he won a close one against Dirrell. Neither were 'robberies' and he needs to get over that.

    :lol: crazy talk. Dirrell's a skittish runner and Ward's got the sort of skillset to give him all sorts of problems. Footwork, positioning, combination punching, timing.

    Pretty much it.

    Though Dirrell only has himself to blame.... he lost the fight more than Froch won it.

    He's definitely a bigger puncher than Froch, and I'd factor that Froch is a bigger puncher than Dirrell.
