bad luck for Benn, Instant cut stoppages are tough to take especially in title fights against a fighter with minimal power, how he managed to one punch KO Tarver earlier this season is still a shock to me. maybe we should take a look at Ottke's gloves too since we're already investigating James Toney.

Good effort from Huck against Steve Collins, I figured that'd be a tough out for Huck, but what the hell they've almost all been tough outs for him. He keeps fighting on, and he'll be back in action next week against some schmuck.

Carl Froch proves again why he belonged in the Super 6. That Majority Decision win over Johnny Nelson should've been unanimous the judges were pretty generous to Johnny to turn in scores of 115-113 2x and a draw.

Can't complain with the draw in the big fight, could have went either way. Holyfield came back in the last 3rd of the fight.

Nelson had the edge on punch stats and going by the RBR point system, it would be a draw. Seemed pretty close and anyone's fight really.

All I know is it looked like every judge didn't give me any credit for the knockdown I scored. Those scorecards should've been wider. Doesn't matter. I got the win, that's the important thing.

All I know is it looked like every judge didn't give me any credit for the knockdown I scored.

All 3 of them scored the that round (1st) 10-8 in Froch's favour, so yeah - they did.

Nelson had the edge on punch stats and going by the RBR point system, it would be a draw. Seemed pretty close and anyone's fight really.

I thought so too, 'twas an exciting fight to read. I'd like to do it again before the season is out.
