Dirrell runs, holds and is scared so much he makes PBF look like William Wallace.

    He was getting on my last nerve with the holding, putting his arms up and running bull****. If you are scared to engage you need to find a new job.

    Dirrell should join the USA track team.

    Running in a fight does not make you a better fighter. He landed some good shots but I could not stand the running and holding

    He landed virtually all!!! the clean shots. Froch is all will no skill, he lost this fight clearly.

    WTF PBF doesn't even run he uses what you call foot work. direll showed he had it a few times but mostly he back peddeld. PBF turns, sides steps takes a step back and then counters with a lead right hand or hook. name a fight when he back peddeld like Dirrell

    Last time I checked I am not
    a Froch fan and don't really think he won. It is possible that Dirrell won and was fighting scared. Pull Andre's nuts out

    He should have been a sprinter or a dancer not a boxer. He doesnt want to fight.​

    Folks, there is a HUGE! HUGE! difference in using the ring, and clearly outboxing your opponent.....but dirrell held conservative estimate 35% of the time, the point deduction was a good one....you can argue as well for a point deduction of froch for punching in the back of the head.....

    but way way too much holding is not using the ring effectively to your advantage....

    Froch was BOSS in the fight.

    theres no point in trying to reason with them..

    Most of the yanks/anti froch brigade see it as a robbery and no-one will change there minds.
    Ive seen far worse robberies than that fight thats for sure!

    Froch should have been deducted as well. Every time Froch got close Andre held. Frustrating.

    So because Froch didn't get a point deduction only Dirrell is guilty ? What have people gone crazy ?? What effective punching did Carl do when he was holding Dirrell's head ? Or were the punches he was landing on the back of Andre's head really more effective ?

    The point deduction was un called for considering Carl was just as guilty .

    Correct. The two should not be mentioned in the same sentence. However - Dirrell has the tools to be a great - when he finds the confidence not to run like that.

    They both should have been penalized
