    I remember watching the Froch Dirrell fight live and thinking that Dre got robbed.

    I watched it twice more and scored it both times. Each time i gave it to Froch by a point. I just couldn't score some rounds to Dirrell because he was just running like a total *****.

    Never has my opinion changed more of a fight from watching it live to watching a replay

    He was the only one landing in Froch fight, made Froch look like amateur on many occasions, he has much better footwork why not use it, i dont agree that he run or something he did what he should do and not brawl with Froch, why would he when he is much faster and much better technically.

    I agree he is very talented and is the person who will give Ward the most trouble at SMW.

    Maybe it was the way he was portrayed in the 360 piece with his brother regarding his injury ..Seemed like a liar ..

    Dirrell talent ain't in question, his heart is though with the bitchass way he fought against Froch and always conveniently dropping down to the canvas when his opponent gets close and faking that injury against Arthur Abraham also.

    His talent is there but his heart pumps Kool Aid.

    I went to the Froch Dirrell fight in Nottingham and scored it Froch. That said, I'm a big fan of Froch and the noise of the crowd may well have swung me in has favor. If I were to watch and score the fight round by round, I might well score it differently but in all honesty, the fight should never be deemed a robbery due to the way in which in which Dirrell fought.

    Not so sure about his performance against AA. Yes he schooled him for 10 rounds but of the 2 clean punches he ate, 1 put him flat on his arse, the other 1 clean KO'd him causing "neuroloigical problems," forcing him to withdraw from the Ward fight. I personally believe he felt AA picking up the tempo in the last 2 rounds and decided to get out while he could. He would probably have ultimately won a wide UD win, but to deny AA the reasonably decent chance of scoring a legit KO was shameful of him.

    Froch fought a completely different fight to Dirrell against AA so I don't buy that he laid "the blueprint." How on earth can someone of Froch's repotoire even begin to attempt to emulate Dirrell's style? Froch's jab won the fight against AA, Dirrell's combinations/footwork "won" him the fight.

    I dont call it "hate" to debate a boxer.

    Sane people scored Froch vs Dirrell for Dirrell. But I have noticed they seem to live in the illusion that Froch never landed at all, and that hurt their credibility. IMO the fight could have went both ways. I found it very hard to score.

    Sore Euros upset that 2 American prospects took on their best and completely embarrased them.

    Ward gets just as much hate as Dirrell. Shouldve seen this forum before the Froch fight.

    Because he acts like a ***** and that whole AA shambles was just a joke. Dude has serious talent though

    Amazing fighter, super talented could have redeemed himself if he fought ward but I believe they both had an agreement to not fight each other. Because they are buddy's, took much of a risk for both parties, needs to cut the shinanigans out and start fighting again rather than constantly ***** footing around

    He never beat Froch - he knew going into that fight that he had the faster hands, so what was his strategy - flurry and then hold, flurry then hold - Ward is in a different league to Dirrell.

    I agree with him beating Froch, but in the Abraham fight he was having real problems in the later rounds. He got knocked down hard in the 10th (it was incorrectly ruled a slip), and he was really on his bike after that.

    Fact is he his style and in ring antics are ****.
