***Rees-Murray / Kessler-Bouadla / Froch-Johnson / NO SPOILERS / RBR Bonanza!***

:rofl Roy is a joker.

 

no way Arum lets Chavez in with Martinez. would be glad to be proved wrong though.

 

I had it 116-113 Froch. A draw was a bit of a stretch as was 117-111. But Froch got the win and I can't wait to see him face Ward.

I hand Zbik beating Chavez 115-113 but the result was inevitable. Zbik's interview summed it up really.

 

I fell asleep in round 12 of Chavez-Zbik but I thought Chavez had done enough during the second have of the fight. I was too ****ed to be sure though!

Same with froch, he won handily enough from the 8th or so onwards.

 

Nodded off in round 10 or something of the Chavez fight...did he deserve the win?

 

I had Froch winning by 3-4 rounds, He took time to get going tbh i do wonder how much the ear problem played i never seen Carl make faces like he did when Johnson got close.

Both men are credit to sport and proud they put a great battle on.

Once again Watt was so negative. It's like ''Froch ain't doing what he should be doing and i'm not impressed so Johnson's round''. He needs to stop scoring fights based on assumption of judges and what he wants fighters to do.

Anyways Froch took some bombs both guys chin's are the best in sport. Tbh i didn't think he was ever hurt he always fired back looking strong as he threw punches.

His tactics did **** me off tbh but then again really don't know if he was affected by the ear problem. It's ok him saying he's fine but we all know Froch fights with injuries 90% of other fighters wouldn't dare fight with.

Gonna miss this guy when he's gone, may not be most skillful but what a warrior and action hero of a fighter.

 

I fancied Froch to get him out of there...:yep

 

I just thought Froch did a solid professional job, I mean compared to Tavoris Cloud and Dawson in the rematch you can't say it was much more than that. Pretty much as expected, he edged the fight by 3 rounds I thought, but as I suspected Johnson caused more than a few problems especially early to mid rounds. Because Froch has never faced a guy that will just walk through all his punches, even Kessler wasn't walking through them when Froch was punching. He'd never faced a guy with that canny ability up close to find the short right hand and a good defence. People thinking it was just an Abraham job were badly mistaken, Johnson is miles better than him. Froch had to stand toe to toe and really put some leather on Johnson to pull away with the fight, the jabbing and moving stuff wasn't that successful IMO. It was the bursts of punches and the pace Johnson couldn't live with not flicking jabs.

I can kind of see where the draw card came from even though I disagree with it, because you could actually give Johnson the first 3 rounds. I gave him 2 and 3, and 1 which nearly everyone scored even including myself, if you're giving it to anyone would go to Johnson as he tried harder in the round.

So overall it was like a 7/10 type performance against a good fighter in Glen Johnson.

Didn't see much to give him hope against Andre Ward mind. He was easily hit again by somebody with handspeed, Ward's going to find him too easily and he's going to see Froch's street fighter punches coming miles off.

 

Boxrec analysis guess: Chavez got a gift over Zbik? AmIrite?

 

Missed the last two rounds and wasn't scoring it but Zbik started well and took a lot of the early rounds but Chavez got into it as the fight went on.

Reading a few comments seems like one of those that could have gone 115-113 either way but obviously Zbik was never going to get it.

 

Not so sure mate. I was very tired so take this with a pinch of salt but I thought Chavez did enough in the second half of the fight to nick it.

 

HBO stole the event win by calling Zbik 'Beak' and 'Sebastians Beak'

 

:rofl

Cheers lads, just reading the reports now :deal

 

Froch won as i predicted by 4 rounds, what on earth was the jap watching tho 114-114 was criminal!!!

I wish we could of seen ward fight johnson, would have been a good fight to guage ward imo...

 

Because he's the ****ing moron who scored the Alexander-Kotelnik fight 117-111 tho Devon. Whe's stuck in his ways/a corporate schill/off his meds.
