Carl Froch bases his conditioning on 10 years worth of training records!

arrogant and overrated hometown fighter.

he should avenge his loss to dirrell.

 

Methinks your not a real professor.

 

The butthurt is strong in this one.

Dirrell fought scared, and lost, DEAL.


On another note, in response to the OT. That is a good idea. Everybody always talks about how they make journals, and logs, but hardly anybody actually keeps such an extensive record. Froch seems like hte type who is honest with himself, even if not 100% honest when talking up a fight.

 

i don't recall "scared" as being one of the scoring criteria in pro boxing...but thanks for ur useless opinion.

dirrell landed the most and definitely better shots. i gave froch about 4 rounds and that's being generous. he knows he got a hometown gift. how's that for honesty?

 

That fight was not a gift.

I've watched it a few times, Dirrell did not put on a clinic. Even his body language in the fight was poor, falling to the floor and complaining while running around the ring does not translate to outboxing a man in his hometown in my opinion.

I agree with you, if it had taken place in Dirrell's hometown, he would have gotten the decision I reckon. But that was no robbery, it was a pretty indecisive fight.

 

Fighting scared is not a scoring criteria, however, it's a descriptive term that is apt, and relative in describing how he fought regarding, and appying the scorting criteria of effective aggression, clean, effective punching (can't land any if you don't throw any), and ring generalship.

All because Dirrell won a few of the later rounds pretty thoroughly, doesn't mean he won enough rounds to win the fight.

FYI, a boxing match is not won by winning a few rounds more decisively than rounds the other guy won. You can't take the moments of good work Dirrell did, and take away everything he FAILED to do, in turn costing him rounds, and the fight. :hi:

 

A lot of boxers keep records of that. maybe they lost some documentations here and there but there is not an uncommon trade.

 

i don't care how much froch came forward....or how much dirrell gave him movement....dirrell landed the cleaner punches far more often. he deserved the win. on neutral ground dirrell wins that one.

 

there was nothing effective about froch's aggression.

there was nothing clean or effective about froch's punching either.

the fact that dirrell controlled the distance and pace of the fight and that froch was unable to cut the ring or land anything significant is why i believe he was given a hometown decision. there's nothing u can say to convince me otherwise. we can do a round by round if u'd like.

 

As a matter of fact, I'd be more htan glad to do a rescoring. I only had Froch 114-113 (6 rounds a piece, minus point deduction) last time, but there were a lot of close rounds. I thought Froch did land some clean shots, and was being more of the ring general than Dirrell, which is pretty much what the rounds came down to, as the other critera were give, and take.

I'm never afraid to admit that I'm wrong, because everybody is. I don't think more highly of my opinion than any other poster as long as they intelligently support it. I haven't re-watched the fight because it was such an ugly fight. Certainly wouldn't be the first time I've scored a fight differently upon re watching.

After the FNF main event, and Shobox, I'd definitely be down for a RBR to cap the night off with!

Don't have anything to do tonight, so let's do it in a few more hours (probably around 11:45ish ET). I'll drop a message on ya profile, and let me know if you still down.

 

This has been done a dozen times but let's repeat it one more time. I scored the fight for Dirrel, 7 rounds to 5. This said: this has been one of weakest winning performance in a championship fight if Dirrel would have edged it. He flipflopped around the ring and didn't perform in a championship way to actually win the title.

You can't expect to go to the champions hometown, be negative the entire fight, win the fight closely rounds wise and get the decision. Did Froch get a gift? Yes! Did Dirrel deserve to win the belt with such a performance? Absolutely not.

Dirrel should worry about getting back in the mix. While Dirrel was busy claiming to have brain damage Froch actually fought Kessler, Abraham, Ward & Bute. Dirrel has no right to demand a rematch whatsoever until he actually beats a top contender.

 

i'm about to hit the gym but i'll be free in approx 3 hrs. looking forward to it.

 

aint dirrell the hoe who pretended to have brain damage or cancer or something?

 

i hear u. i don't totally agree....but i hear u.

i don't believe dirrell needs to avenge anything....he won that fight no matter what the judges said. it's froch that needs to avenge that loss imo.
