Now, if Froch was fighting in Oakland after the Dirrell fight, we can talk. Not that I agree, but we can talk. | One of Showtime's major selling points is USA vs Europe. The American's need help to get a point on the board.
I truly wish boxing wasn't a corrupt, vile sport where no man can ever lose without a plethora of excuses, but that's just the way it is.
I can see the "Kessler was robbed" threads a mile off.
Revenge robbery - like Ouma said. | Ward doesnt have it in him to even make a shock scorecard possible. If it does go the distance he wont win a single round through 5-12
You may end up having a very silly 115-113 card for kessler but no way can ward stretch a robbery! | Yes, but do you actually watch boxing?

Not really considering the fight in question was debatable and that the majority of the boxing public had it going either way
The same morons claiming dirrell got robbed are the ones that cried like bitches when holyfield didnt get the decision against valuev.
They have no actual understanding of the word "robbery"

Punch Power: 2019 | | Re: Mikkel Kessler vs Andre Ward:Who will wins? The Showtime interviewer basically told Dirrell he was robbed. The majority of fans don't think it was 50/50 they think Dirrell won the fight (check the polls). Most of that majority think he was robbed too.
By the way my initial comments about the robbery were meant tongue-in-cheek. But the more I think about it the more it makes sense for an American victory.
Kessler is getting robbed. Fact.

He wont, we`ve spent a hell of a lot of time getting to the stage where a fight of this magnitude can be scored correctly.
20 years ago definitely
10 years ago possibly
you have to be very vindictive to believe 3judges and a ref are to be told before a fight the hometown fighter needs to win due to something that happened across the pond a few weeks back
PS:Showtime believe the boxing world revolves solely around US fighters and that even a remotely average fight has to be scored for the US fighter hence the extremely byest dribble they produced on the night |

Robberies don't always occur through 100% pure corruption. Sometimes they happen because the sentiment is swayed towards the home guy.
It's good for business.  |

Young US hero travels thousands of miles and beats the very foreign devil who stopped one of their top boys not 6months back or big nosed brit once again turning over there boy and the night creating no fireworks whatsoever
think we all know which is more beneficiary for them. Anyway im sick of talking about the fight. It was a horrible contest neither got any credit from. Froch won a very close decision end of story.
Yes again it would be a great result for SHO if ward were to take out the divisions top boy. But it certainly wouldnt do much for the ref or 3 judges both domestically and worldwide if this apparent screwjob were to take place.
Kessler will whoop ward and the hired states judges will score the fight completely fairly unlike those at showtime who will it inevitably have ward winning by a couple of rounds afterwards |

Punch Power: 2665 | | Re: Mikkel Kessler vs Andre Ward:Who will wins? I had Kessler picked to win this thing outright,so this makes it an easy call for me to pick him in this fight. I must say tho, Abraham sure gave us something to think about. if he can pick up the pace with those outbursts of power and speed comikng outta the shell, will be a scary man standing across from anyone in this division, with a good chance of winning it all also. That chin of his don't hurt his chances either.

Punch Power: 95 | | Re: Mikkel Kessler vs Andre Ward:Who will wins? Kessler By K.O somewhere in the run. Ward is very good but definitely not ready for the top of the league.

Punch Power: 310 | | Re: Mikkel Kessler vs Andre Ward:Who will wins? I'm not liking going against Kessler in the first round of the tournament but I think Ward is going to win in honest fashion. I think these two are the best of the bunch, although I'm with Youngblood on Abraham(he's capable of changing everything). Ward is one of those guys who just wins. I mean Andre Ward has never lost a boxing match ever, in the amateurs(at least not open class) or the pros. But somehow he is never the favorite(amateur continental tournaments, Olympics, Miranda...) It may not be prolific, fan favoring, or pretty but Ward just wins. He didn't exactly get a good draw but I think he will eke this one out somehow.
