    And today he was bullied around the ring by Direll. Direll was literally walking through Degale's shots in the 2nd half.

    Froch vs. Degale would be a mismatch. Manslaughter

    Dre had bigger ballls than we thought he had. I tip my hat to him, he did a good job. I feel sorry for him that he didn't make it on the judges cards but that's how fights go. But he won the hearts of a few fans!

    Froch would actually destroy him

    Dirrell deserves a rematch just like he deserves a second bite at Froch. DeGale was too inactive to be given the win. I had Dre by 3 but a draw would have been a fair result...a UD is a terrible call

    Froch would get arrested for manslaughter when climbing out of the ring after he finished Degale.

    117-109 was a complete joke. Nomination for worst scorecard of the year thus far.

    But either fighter winning by a point or two is fair enough. Draw would have been accurate for the history books.

    I expect DeGale to be hated on these forums for his performance. He will be called a marathon runner for moving back against Dirrell for 80% of the fight.

    117-109 was criminal, I agree. I felt a bit sorry for Dirrell. He did well, I would have like a draw and a mandatory rematch. A bit of a sour taste in the mouth after this UD.

    I think Degale beat Andre better than Froch did.

    Andre is top 5 in this division.

    neither one of them impressed me. Degale has a good chin, is pretty slick when he isn't scared and poor stamina. Dirrell is lazy, blind and runs his mouth more than he wants to actually fight. and his stamina isn't very good either.

    I thought Degale looked awful. Froch would have killed him. Dirrell is fast but feather fisted. Froch would have knocked out Degale cold.

    DeGale would beat Froch easily.. What you guys chatting? He was reluctant to give Dirrell chances 2nd half because A) He was way up. B) Dirrell was showing crisp, fast, hard and short punches back and controlled range great and C) He was tiring.

    Froch is too wide. Groves put him on his ****, DeGale COULD do the same.

    Direll proved alot of people wrong with showing guts in the second half of the fight. However I thought degale nicked a close decision with the last two rounds and the ones early in the fight.

    I maybe heard wrong but one card that was announced sounded like they where saying 117-109 or something re****ed like that? But yeah as long as the right man won.

    I think Froch is a really hard man to beat when he gets going and I would see froch stoping James to be honest. Like you said if direll walked through his shots then the cobra would have no trouble to. And if Froch lands something to shake him up then he would have no problem of stoping the guy, he's a clinical finnisher when he gets his man hurt.

    By the way does anyone have any news about Froch and his future plans is it retirement or will he fight one last hurah?
