TV Channels low-balling Froch

People who scored that fight evens stevens without the KO are either A stupid B Froch fans or C women

 

No way was the fight even going into the last round. I suppose if Taylor had survived and Froch had of gotten a 10-7 then maybe a draw.

One judge did have Froch winning after 11 rounds though IIRC?

 

Yeah not sure how anyone could have Froch in front - he was made to look silly in the first five.

Those American judges scoring for aggression again :yep

 

Bit unfair on Froch that he isn't already getting big publicity on a chosen channel. Although he took far too long getting to where he is, he is a promoter's dream with the stuff that comes out of his mouth even if he is likely to come a cropper sooner rather than later. Setanta were far too ambitious with the money they were doling out on various sports, but now ESPN are the polar opposite. It means that Sky are in a position to become the British HBO in putting undeserving cards on ppv whilst lowballing deserving bouts through the lack of a competitive market place. Could do with a British incarnation of Showtime springing out of nowhere

 

Congratulations. You've just showcased how little you know! :good

Froch was losing going into the last round. He lost 5 of the first 6 clearly and I didn't have Froch winning every round 6-11.

 

I'm not sure I agree with the comments about Froch getting coverage at to help his profile. He's fought almost his entire career on BBC and ITV and had all his big fights on. Okay Taylor was delayed ITV but it was on so I don't think he's that badly promoted.

Would people prefer it if he came into the ring wearing Forest shorts, with football songs and fought WBU tidle fights for the next 5 years to get the momentum up if that's what's needed.

He's got a reasonably high profile in relation to the sport as a whole I'd say, most people I know who don't follow boxing but like sport know who he is.

Appreciate the man and the way his career has gone and be ****ed off at how the economy has wrecked boxing coverage in the UK.

What I don't understand thoguh is why the fight is not on ITV live as the other Hennessey Sports are?

 

On the other hand over the last year he's been in 2 FOTY candidates and still can't get a TV deal....I'd say he isn't being promoted THAT well.

 

So I'll play your little game and be very generous - lets give Taylor all of the 6 first round shall we? And an extra point for KD and that's 7 points up on Froch at the halfway mark.

Now we have 6 rounds left........

Openly Deny for us all Froch won rounds 10,11 and 12 plainly? it's something no person with eyes can do so lets give Carl 4 points for those 3 rounds and the KD.

So Taylor's now 3 rounds up which brings us to rounds 7,8 & 9. Score those 3 rounds for us please I'd like to know which ones - and why - you gave them to Taylor?

P.S. lets remember two things as well: 1) I am being very generous giving Taylor all 6 of the 1st few rounds because quite frankly he didn't sweep those 6 rounds I just gave them to him so I could easily argue this whole topic that the fight was closer than Froch haters will admit And 2) Without the stoppage it would have be a 10-7 round to Froch because Taylor was well on his way to getting put down again.....14 seconds...no cover up...dizzy...against the ropes...wheezing...confused....that's 14 seconds of pounding he simply wouldn't have survived so you can reasonably give Froch a 10-7 there if you want to discount the KO.

So...2 points difference...3 rounds to score...7/8/9 & I'm just dying to know where this 'domination' of Froch myth has come from! :huh:huh:huh:huh

 

Why are you debating something that isn't really a big deal at all?

 

I wouldn't care if people thought Taylor won by 1/2 points I really wouldn't but people talk like Taylor schooled Froch for 12 whole rounds like he done a Calzaghe > Lacy on Froch then suddenly tired and wheezed out.......it's annoying! :fire

 

i wonder who's offering the 100,000?

its a big difference if its a terestrial channel then a sky or espn

 

For the record 2 of the judges had Froch 4 points down at the end of the 11th....
