Re: CRW Season Week 19 fights 1-6
I just do not see how the Australian judge had it 118-112 for Andre Ward
What a great 1st round for Ward vs. Leonard and a great fight too with each fighter winning a round back and forth. If round 9 wasn't a draw and went in favor of Ward, it would have been a draw

Re: CRW Season Week 19 fights 1-6
I sure didn't see a knockdown for Ottke coming or a Decision win for Froch coming. I expected if anything Froch would've needed a stoppage, but I'm happy with the result. Was a very competitive fight.
