    wtf?

    How has the tournament shown favouritism to those guys so far?

    The best fighter in the tournament and pre tourney favourite is given the toughest groupings by having to fight dirrell, kessler and abraham with the last 2 being the toughest match ups both requiring him to fight away from home.

    The andres get comfortable home town match ups one of which immidiately gets to fight the weakest fighter in the tourney coming off the back of his blatant cheating against kessler while the other one feigns injury and gets the win instead of an automatic DQ for play acting

    Who knows?

    Also, why wouldn't Showtime want Froch to win against Kessler? Who's more appealing to the Americans, some guy from a country most couldn't place on the right side of the continent or a dumb yet fairly exciting Brit. What is their motivation for conspiring to kick Froch out?

    You're attitude is why good ideas don't last in boxing or at least catch on. It's not rigged, there have been some extraordinary circumstances and one horrendous decision. In reality the Abraham-Dirrell fight isn't controversial in the least, pretty cut and dry actually as even if he was acting, you can't get DQ'd for acting, only hitting someone flush while they are on one knee not looking at you.

    Why dont we just say if we are gonna have a fair non-biased competition such as this we will hold every single fight in neutral venues thus ensuring that the real winner will provail every time

    the current super 6 reads;
    ward 3
    abraham 3
    Froch 2
    kessler 2
    Dirrell 2
    green 0

    had the results of been fair it would now read:

    abraham 5
    froch 4
    kessler 2
    ward 0
    green 0
    dirrell 0

    see how the american thing comes into play

    So Kessler beats Ward in a neutral location? Am I going to have to dig up some of your day-after posts HTHomo?

    Hammer did you suffer a heavy fall on your head on the weekend?

    Did you miss the Froch/Dirrell fight? I scored that fight 117-110 to Dirrell.

    good for you, thankfully justice provailed and the better fighter won out in the end

    Amat - i really just cant deal with you right now. Your beyond retarded and i somehow find your quibberings to be of great annoyance

    I meant kessler should of got the DQ win on several occasions for the fact ward fought a large part of the fight with his head

    There were 2 accidental headbutts and one that looked bad and was damaging but was also accidental and even then one headbutt can't get you a DQ. They could have taken 5 points from Ward and he still would have won. And a 5 point penalty would have been excessive. Edison Miranda tried to headbutt AA's face off and he only got deducted like 2 points.

    Actually if the results would of been fair, Andre Dirrell would have 4 points and Carl Froch would have 0.

    Froch is only 10 seconds (against Taylor) away from having lost 3 in a row

    I was at that fight and I'm telling you that is totally wrong. After approximately the seventh round, there was a huge momentum swing and the you could feel it was just a matter of time before Froch got to him.

    As much as you want to say Froch lost against Dirrell, if there is a reason Dirrell wound up with a loss, it's his fault. Much like Froch said after he lost to Mikkel, Dirrell just didn't do enough. In a fight against a champion on his home turf, you have to win convincingly.

    Well said rant

    froch took at least 2 of the opening 6 and the complete second half of that fight

    Dont get me wrong i only carl a point up going into the last round and wouldnt of cried foul had that of been a mandatory 10-9 taylor last round.

    But world championship boxing in this day and age is a 12round affair and if you arent able to manage that it doesnt matter what you do in the 1st 11

    Very true..

    and even with that 'momentum swing' to froch, the judges cards STILL had Taylor winning even with that knockdown in the last round before the KO.. so regardless of momentum, which means nothing on a score card, if Taylor didn't get KO'd that really was 3 fights Froch was on the verge of losing..

    as i said before this past weekends fight, Froch is very beatable, and for HTH to say he's the best super middle of the last decade or whatever, is ridiculous..
