This super six tournament is already ruined

For the love of God! Froch vs Dirrell was a close fight!

In a lot of peoples eye's it could have gone either way. However it was not a robbery. Most people that had Dirrell winning it only had him winning it by a round. So how the hell is that a robbery.

Just to clarrify.

Ottke vs Reid = Robbery

Froch vs Dirrell = Close Fight.

 

Sorry that wasn't the post I meant to quote.
It was the one crying on about Dirrell being robbed again.

 

Ruined is too tough a word. But the super six has turned out less entertaining, from a sporting standing point, than I expected. This because of the ref and judges.
On a side note, and I take it you are american, winning in itself means a lot more to americans than basically the rest of the world. For the rest of the World it is winning and the journey too victory that is more important. Had Dirrell performed without excessive running and landed a clearly countable and greater number of punches all would be happy to give him the victory. Had Ward beaten Kessler without all (5!!!) the headbuts and excessive holding all would be happy to give him the victory without objections.

 

Wow. What a whiner. It doesn't seem like the last European came here to fight anyway. So take your ball and go home.

 

Look guys. I picked kessler by 10th round stoppage, and boy was i wrong.
When i saw kessler holding on to ward like he was holding the parachute
i knew kessler was done. He fights like Wlad does. NO INSIDE game at all
and he doesn't bend at the knees or waist. Ward won this fight without headbutts. He simply outclassed kessler. It's taken a few days to sink in, but ward is specal and kessler was a great boxer, but not a great fighter.

 

:|:|:|:|

 

You cant headbut Abraham here ... he is too short... so Abraham wins tournament easily.

 

The only fight that has been without a major incident is AA and Taylor's fight.The tourney has been interesting,but not overly entertaining in itself.Good thing this isn't PPV.
Hopefully the next round gets more entertaining,but I somehow doubt it.

 

These crying mother****ers are coming out of the woodwork now. This is boxing, **** happens.

 

Abraham fouled at will, but hardly even got a warning. JT lost points for accidental low blows. That fight was just as bad as the other two.

 

So the cheating was okay, as long as you pretend it didn't happen?

 

Its been great, all the hype trains are getting derailed, Kesslers loss has been the best thing about this tournament, they should make all the divisions do it so we find the top fighter....If this had happend all the time, we wouldnt have hype trains, eg, Haye, Hatton, Lacy, Kessler..etc.

 

Wow, and it's coming a month after Dirrell robbery in your country????

Just 1 question: WTF wrong with you brits?????
Are you people have brains there or just balls of your favorite fighters stuffed in???

 

so the Dirrell fight was an "ass ****" in your opinion but how do you feel about the Ward win? 100% legit?

 

I would refer you to this:
Nope. Kessler's tactic for dealing with the holding was the right one. Ward likes to punch, grab, push away, punch... repeat. That way he doesn't have to worry about counters so much, or anyone timing him on the way out. Berto does the same thing. Kessler was tying him up when ever Ward leaped in and grabbed. That eliminated the leap away punch... or it would have except the ref wasn't breaking them so long as Ward had a hand free.
