How the f*** could the judges score it like that?

Froch won 2 rounds on my card. Could give him 3 if you're being extremely generous. Brit judge did us proud.

 

The two judges who scored it 115-113 need to stop smoking whatever it was they smoked.

I wanted Froch to win but 118-110 was fair. I had it 119-109 with Froch only getting the 12th. There was one round earlier in the fight that you could argue for him which means 118-110 at best.

Totally outclassed, inside, mid-range, outside and even out muscled when on the ropes.

Ward is a hell of a fighter.

 

American guy to my left had it 8-4. Other American to my right had it around 9-3. Had it similar myself, though did feel a little generous to Froch. Was surprised when two 7-5's were announced though!

Guess it was as most people feared. Scrappy, Froch gave his all but fell short. Ward good/very good but not great imo.

 

Was you in the arena, mate?

It's hard to see what a fighter like Ward is doing if you're in the nosebleeds and the experience of being in the arena and watching on tv is different anyway. I had the same problem with Hopkins/Winky. People next to me where giving Winky rounds, but they couldn't see/appreciate what Bernard was doing with those short punches.

 

It's called the Khan effect, U.S Judges wanted to give us something back after the home cooking last weekend.

All Froch had to do is win a few more rounds and he would of won UD

 

Yeah. Was there, and totally agree. Looking through the ropes made it awkward and we definitely missed some shots through the ref/crowd etc.

Looked to us that Froch was doing ok at times going to the body early and he was half blocking or riding some punches for a reasonable length of time in a couple of the rounds.

Gave him 10 & 11 myself, one of the middle rounds and one of the early ones even.

 

Have it Sky+'d though. Look forward to watching it again from the better TV angle!

Can tell you for sure that Ward's kids were BLOODY ANNOYING.

Couldn't hear Froch's missus to balance it out however.

 

7 rds to 5 is crazy.

that's worse than pac-marquez scoring. atsch

 

Mike Costello (five live) reckoned the american judges were over-compensating for last week. BTW, Malignaggi is a brilliant guest commentator, the guy should be given a shot on HBO...

 

Gave froch 2 rounds. Could have been 1 or 3, I suppose. But 5... Nah.

 

Same as that.
When they were going to read out the scores I was hoping that Froch had been given 1 or 2 so that it wouldn't be a shut out.

 

Going into the 6th, one of the judges had it 4 rounds to 1 in favour of Froch!!! Now you explain that? Shocking.

 

I had Froch winning the last two, but a complete shut out would've been completely fair.

 

I had Ward, of course, by 6 rounds.

115-113 is a disgrace.

 

I had it 117-111, but it really wasn't close.

I gave Carl the 5th and the last two.
