Sorry Froch fans ....
I tried my best to like this guy but he is a world class douche ...
Just got done reading his Ring Magazine interview and man what a dick.
1) he said he was way ahead of Kessler and Kessler clearly got a hometown decision
2) when asked about people believing he got a hometown decision against Dirrell, he said he was clearly rounds ahead and would have been rounds ahead in Detroit
3) he went on to say he was 2 or 3 rounds ahead of Taylor when he knocked him out and the judges were giving rounds to Taylor because he was the hometown fighter (really??? Even the biggest Froch fan knows Taylor was way way way ahead on the scorecards)
4) went on to say that Europe has the most bias judges and refs in the world but somehow excluded Nottingham from that group ... sorry maybe I'm not all that smart but isn't the UK part of Europe?

I've seen guys react poorly to their first loss, but I must admit that this is an extreme case.

The one that gets me the most is the Taylor comment ... I can see him thinking he was winning both the Dirrell & Kessler fights because they were close (although I thought Dirrell was way ahead) ... but Taylor had won 9 out of the 11 rounds.
He also said Ward isn't any good and Bute is scared to fight him ....
If it wasn't for his girlfriend he would have no redeeming qualities

I was at the Taylor Fight....I picked Froch and trust me...he would have lost EASY if he didn't KO Taylor! One thing I will say....the Refs and Judges from England, GENERALLY, are pretty fair. I know England is in Europe, but you can't compare them to Germany....and even the U.S. They even call fights without playing favorites!
Froch HAS become a mouth....and he fights like he thinks he is something special....

Watch some Hatton fights from Manchester ... there was nothing fair about the refereeing in those fights ... but I would say GENERALLY the judging is pretty fair in England. Although I completely disagree with the Froch/Dirrell decision but GENERALLY you are right about the judging.

You know, its funny about the Dirrell fight....I watched it through an Internet feed and thought Froch won it EASY. I re-watched it from the TV feed and thought it was A LOT closer, but still thought Froch won....but when I talked to people who were there live, they all think it was either a draw, or that Dirrell squeaked it out.....

Froch was losing to Taylor handily, definately lost to Kessler and the Dirrell fight was CLOSE a decision either way was possible.
I did like Froch as a fighter, but he aint taking this first loss very well at all and he's begininng to sound foolish. What is it with boxers being general cunts?

Although I completely disagree with the Froch/Dirrell decision but GENERALLY you are right about the judging. My favorite Hatton moment with regard to the Referee was in the Lazcano fight (I think it was) and he's taking a few shots and then points out the untied string on his boxing boot, and the Refs calls time, which he's only supposed to do when there's a lull in the action.

Yeah that one was horrible ... Lazcano had Hatton out on his feet and the ref calls timeout and took about 2 minutes to tie his shoe ... he did everything but give Ricky smelling salts ...

And the knocked out fighter said to Ref Howard Foster, "If you were to give me 1/4th the time you gave Ricky Hatton, you'd hear dea............ ". Opps, wrong quote
