My Scorecard 1. Dirrell 9-10 2. Froch 10-9 3. Froch 10-9 4. Dirrell 9-10 5. Dirrell 9-10 6. Froch 10-9 7. Froch 10-9 8. Dirrell 9-10 9. Froch 10-9 10 Even 9-9 (Dirrell won the round by hurting froch, and landing cleaner blows, but the point deduction was HUGE!) 11. Dirrell 9-10 12. Froch 10-9 (closes round of the fight IMO, Froch won the last half of the round and won it on my card) Carl Froch 114-113....the point deduction was the difference... Post your scarecards, and why your result is what it was...
You gave Froch rounds 2 and 3 and 6 and 7. Froch struggled to land punches..let alone winning two rounds back to back. ******.
I had it 114 to 112 for Froch but some rounds were hard to score and I would not argue with anyone who had Dirrell winning. Dirrell impressed me tonight but I still think he has a shaky chin. His legs looked unsteady and he grabbed on for dear life when ever Froch grazed him with semi hard shots.
I'm a fan of pure boxers myself, I'm all for ring generalship, but hugging a guy like a toddler holding his mom is not going to win fights, andre...
Yet it worked for Hatton V Tszyu in England, and no points let alone a warning was even given, what a ****in hypocrital bunch of commentators and refs they hire in the UK, when their fighter does it it's fine etc, yet when its done to them now and then during rounds its blue murder.
You can make a case of froch having a deduction for hitting in the back of the head, but i actually priase this ref for the point deduction on dirrell...the guy was "mr. huggy"....great seeing him hit when he cried like a *****.... He used great ring generalship but dont hug 35-40% of the fight...
I agree with you on the hatton-tszyu fight, I'm american btw...I just thought anytime froch semi-grazed dirrell, dirrell held, that's a big no no....I'm all for holding when hurt, but this was not the case...and the ref was from panama not uk
5-5-2 Dirrell gave the last round away and the point deduction basically made the fight a lot closer than it had to be. If anyone who didn't know boxing watched they probably would've thought Dirrell won because he landed the cleaner shots, had Froch reeling too. Froch didn't do much in some of the rounds he won, in fact I feel generous giving Froch some of the rounds and calling one of the early ones a draw. It was a close fight, but I have trouble seeing Froch being a winner, let alone a 115-112 winner.
1. Dirrell 2. Dirrell 3. Dirrell 4. Dirrell 5. Dirrell 6. Froch 7. Froch 8. Froch 9. Dirrell 10. Dirrell (-1 for deduction) 11. Dirrell 12. Dirrell And I had it closer than almost anyone on the site I was scoring on. Three separate English Froch fans called it a robbery. Maybe two of those Dirrell rounds were close and could have swung the other way, but there's no way Froch won 6 rounds, at least based on what I saw.
1. 10-9 Froch - decent flurry with 30 seconds to go was the only action 2. 20-18 - Froch - nothing in it again but Froch with the effect pressure and ring generalship - nothing in it really 3. 29-28 Dirrells round, quality counter work 4. 38-38 - more of the same from Dirrell - still to quick 5. 48-47 - Dirrell, Dirrell frustrating Froch and nicking the rounds. 6. 57-57 - Froch, Froch needs to cut the ring off. Dirrell still frustrating Froch but not doing much 7. 67-66 - Dirrell, little in it. 8. 77-75 - Dirrell, speed speed speed. The left hook wasnt enough to win the round 9. 86-85 - Froch round. Finally Froch makes the pressure pay. Dirrell doing little 10. 95-95 - Level round because of the point deduction - scrappy fight! 11. 105-104 to Dirrell.- Dirrell Round. Dirrell starting to catch Froch. Both appear weak in the Super 6. 12. 115-113 to Dirrell.- Dirrell Round. Sharper, faster, more intelligent!
