Default Can I Ask You All For Your Opinion On This Boxing Round?

I just wanted to know what you think. I, personally thought he lost because the other box was superior, but everyone I know say he was unlucky and the fight was his for the win. I assume this is because they all know him, or am I wrong?

All opinions welcome,

Benni.

Just incase you was wondering, this is the aftermath.

Froch was a lot more accurate and seemed to be picking his punches better and at ease. i think the outcome would've been the same if it continued..

anyone who knows anything about boxing can see Froch was winning the round even before the knockdown

he would have won even if it went any further

froch is a risk taker and always will be; quite like his style, even tho he does leave himself open to be hit alot

I'm not a massive boxing fan myself but he lived local so at the time I thought I would go and watch. Everyone was fighting outside because he had been cheated of his title. You know, I thought the same thing you did but everyone else was furious.

If I am honest. It's a load of scousers kicking off and when the going gets tough they all run away. Well, that's what happened. Also known as bad loosers.

are we talking about the round or the whole fight ???

froch won the round, hes open but precise, lots of boxers who have a good reach seem to fight open rather than through a gaurd,, my mate does is cause people are more open when they throw a puch for a smack on the jaw and he has longer reach to dig and not get a hit

If you have seen the whole fight, your opinion would be great.
