A problem I've had with Froch in all of his fights thus far this season. He's effective, but he always starts slow, and gets himself in trouble on the scorecards. Once again he came on strong as the fight went on, and gave Liles difficulty, but had dug too much of a hole for himself on the cards to claw his way out of. Good scrap though.

So that puts me and Buzz at 1-1 against each other for now.

[BoxBuzz]

I believe that puts us at 4 judges calling the fights right, and two judges calling them wrong thus far.

Shall we swap them out....or play this pairing to 3 in a row?

[armageto]

That Calzaghe/Hearns stoppage was nonsense, to pull the plug that fast. At least let the round end for the corner to work on it. Granted Hearns can end any fight with one punch, but he was getting dominated...
