What an absolute war! It may be because I'm high over just having seen the fight, but am i wrong when i say that this fight could be a Fight of the year candidate? or that the 11th or 12th round could be a round of the year candidate? Thoughts?
Loved it! Was watching it with my g/f, my next door neighbour(who bet on Froch and his g/f) we were all on our feet shouting by the end of the 12th. Brilliant fight!
I was bored, neither guy switched from orthodox to southpaw, neither made cool hissing sounds when throwing punches, neither feinted and circled while being inactive, I could go on.
Best fight I've seen since Froch vs. Pascal. Definitely a FOTY and ROTY candidate. But we'll have to see how things go on later in the year... still got Froch/Abraham yet. ;-)
I don't know, often when a fight is a war from round 1 to 12 it gets a bit boring. Maybe after a few rounds I just become desensitized to both guys beating the **** of eachother. I like a fight which is technically and tactically sound, but boils over in parts with some trading
