    Actually, I'm not surprised. Brit judges/commentators are often like that. The SKY team had Froch even in the 11th round tonight...

    MTF :wack:

    No.

    Froch is no Amir khan. Defeat is accepted, no excuses from our Carl.

    What incredible take? Ward won clearly, but he's a dirty bastard and faded late when Froch fouled back and refused to go away. I think thats a fair assessment.

    Froch showed a lot more class than the complainers in this thread during his interview. Nice performance from both fighters. Ward looked solid in there.

    That was not a 115-113 fight, I have to say.

    Very odd calculations there.

    Jim watt is disgusting. He didn't have one positive thing to say about Carl tonight.

    You sure do overrate the hell outta Starling.

    I remember you saying he was on the same level as McCallum. LMFAO!

    A total disgrace, even by his low standards. There was one round, I can' remember which, when Froch was ripping off an effective dombination on the ropes and Watt declares "Froch just isn't good enough at this moment".

    MTF :shit:

    Would love to have witnessed the great Joe busting Ward up.

    Ward looked solid until he got tired. He got tired because he couldn't get Froch out of there. Both guys looked good in parts- Ward early and mid, Froch late. Froch, in my opinion, should have risked a DQ or deduction and started to foul back much sooner than he did.

    Bute/Ward has to happen.

    Really want to find out just how "good" Bute is.

    Calzaghe would have pulled a Bute if he were around now. No way he fights in a tournament like this.

    It was 'at this moment', as Froch was teeing off and landing shots, which made his statement ridiculous. He even scored the 11th even, which was scandalous.

    I don't expect any excuses from Froch.

    Yep, Ward ran outta gas halfway though the 11th.

    Froch used plenty of dirty tactics throughout the fight. He didn't have much to say about that after the bout, classy guy.

    It's almost like he wants fighters to fail so he can use his ' he just isn't good enough" catchphrase. Froch should slap his face.

    I watched the Sky feed. Ward hit him plenty in the 11th, but I scored the round for Froch. Fair call for the most part on Sky.

    He was good enough but not for long enough or consistently enough. He was by no means overmatched and I think if he had made certain adjustments sooner he could have been a lot closer. Ward makes mistakes, elementary mistakes, and can be timed on the way in. Froch was too mechanical, that's not debatable, but once Ward started the dirty shit, Froch should have immediately replied in kind, too often he looked to Smoger instead of exacting his own punishment.

    No arguments as to Frochs lack of fluidity or Wards agility and skills, none.

    I never said that ever

    Who's better Carl Froch or Lloyd Honeyghan? Who had the more dominating victory, Ward or Marlon? You tell me

    You rate Antonio "I knocked out a facsimile of Roy Jones" Tarver over Starling?

    How many one-sided ass-whoopings did Starling receive in his career? Zero

    Tarver suffered two in his prime years

    Anyone who thinks Tarver>Starling is nuts... one guy was a defensive wizard with great countering skills, the other was a guy with one shot in his whole arsenal that he just tried to land all night long

    Your bias is blinding you badly if you think that Watt was any less than a disgrace.

    Ward did fuck all in the 11th mate. The trick to scoring that round is to compare body language. Froch didn't look at all bothered by that stage, in stark contrast to the tight, hunched look he had earlier. Froch knew the worst had passed and that Ward was tired.

    To be fair, I don't think Tarver was in his prime when he fought Hopkins.

    Ward proved tonight that he's truly on another level from the other "young" guys. Bradley, Berto, Con, Peterson, Ortiz...... none of those guys are on Ward's level.
