    Regadless if you think he may of won that round, Four years ago most thought Ward schooled Froch.

    Bailey he has a clear bias against Froch no point in trying.

    I told you already I thought Froch only won round 9, Ward IMO did enough to win all those other rounds you mentioned. Maybe if the fight was in England, Froch would've won all those rounds and it would've been a draw, which would've been a complete joke.

    I thought you were here to warn Bailey? Most people have biases. If you want to be apart of the discussion, what do you think? Was Froch-Ward a close fight?

    If you wanted to have a deep convo about the fight with Bailey you would of watched round 5 like he respectfully asked to have an honest objective debate.

    I remember scoring it for Ward. I didn't think it was close enough for Ward to be worried but it wasn't a schooling. Ward had to work hard for that win and the fight had him looking up at the clock and spoiling because he was gassing out. Froch was a level below Ward in that fight and is most likely still a level below Ward. I said "was" because Ward hasn't fought a top 15 SMW since Froch.

    I respectfully declined, because the only round Froch won IMO was round 9. I don't need to rewatch something I'm completly sure of. If I though Froch won that round, I would've said so.

    Was the fight closer to 115-113 or 118-110?

    I would have to watch the whole fight over to give an objective answer and score it but I respectfully decline. I think I gave a good answer before above without having to watch the fight again.

    Most? No judge scored a shut out and two thought it was close.
    Why are you running from the point that many rounds were close?

    I didnt say that. I wrote
    Schooling often means a big dominant performance and Ward did have some clear rounds, but many other rounds were close, so even if you scored 120-108, it wouldnt be a schooling when there were so many close rounds.
    How is my opinion in the minority? 2 out of 3 judges saw a close fight!
    Was round 1, 3, 5, 9, 11 or 12 not close rounds even if someone scored them all to Ward?

    I didnt score all of those rounds to Ward or Froch, but felt they were close rounds.
    Do you not feel besides round 9 that those rounds were close?

    Bringing up judging in boxing? Get lawst. If you think that fight was one round from being a draw, you're delusional :hi:

    Do you feel the 2 american judges delusional?
    Why are you ducking the question. Forget how it was scored as you have said you only felt Froch won one round, which is your opinion and fine, but please answer the question I wrote -

    I did NOT think those rounds besides the 9th round were close, round 9 was the only round worthy of giving Froch because I though he clearly won it. The rest, I personally thought Ward did enough to win those rounds without thinking you could give those rounds to Froch.

    Whether if they're American or not makes no difference, judging in boxing is not very good all at A. having accurate score cards, and B. getting the right decision.
