    I don't think so. Boxing lost integrity before the tournament. This is boxing, who didn't expect contraversy somewhere along the line.

    They should've planned all the fights in neutral counties. That decision tonight was disgraceful. I was so pumped up for this super six tourney and the decision tonight has left a very bitter taste in my mouth and has significantly lowered my excitement for the rest of the tourney

    Watch the fight and you'll understand why Dirrell clearly won that fight. He won many rounds early, lost some in the middle because he was grabbing too much and not letting his hands go. He clearly took over the fight at the end. 7 rounds to Dirrell, 4 rounds to Froch and 1 even ( the point deduction one ).

    This was pretty awful... Dirrell landed flush so much more times and still lost. Unbelievable.

    I wouldnt say its lost all its integrity. But this decision is going to linger around. What if Dirrel misses the semi finals by 1 point? People will be talking about the 2 points he was robbed of against Froch. Definitely dissapointing to have yet another **** decision. I had Dirrel winning 8 rounds to 4, and was shocked but at the same time kind've seen it coming, when I heard the decision.

    Froch was being talked up as a monster puncher who would hunt his man down and cut off the ring no matter how elusive and fast his opponent may be, and in his own words, "Hit hard and often". The Brits had him winning this easily, a lot were predicting an early ko. So I am correct in what I said, Froch was exposed.

    If you believe that you have to "steal" a championship belt well maybe you are new to boxing. A belt is won not stolen. This crap about having to do more to win a belt from the champion is pure bs. What did Froch do to justify him keeping his belt? ****ing nothing that's what. Dirrell won the fight but didn't get the decision and I will say it again, the Super Six has lost credibility because of it.

    Dirrel did nothing but run, hold, fall down on canvas, complain to referee. I dare anyone to claim Klitschkos are boring fighters. Dirrel is a total disappointment.

    Some of you guys are ****ing stupid. It was a close fight, and very sloppy. Whoever won, it was going to be a "robbery" either way. I had no problem with any of the judges' scorecards or press road. Personally, I had it 115-113 Dirrell, a few friends of mine had it for Froch one had it a draw and a couple had it for Dirrell.

    Some of you people whine about everything, WTF do you want? It was a close fight, no robbery.

    LMAO at "the Super 6 has lost integrity."

    "LOST its Integrity"?...lol....it never had any Integrity to begin with....this is a Super Middleweight tourney we're talking about here...not only the newest, but the SHITTIEST division of All Time....

    168 was a safe haven designed for the lacking Boxing countries' fighters to call home and win titles in...

    Why did I pick Froch by Decision tonight?....because I was COUNTING ON the absolute ABSENCE of Integrity....IN that division....IN England.

    Andre Dirrel was a class above tonight. He could have done more, but he was CLEARLY the better fighter tonight. Awful decision. Terrible result for the tourney. Now we can just expect 1 hometown decision after another.

    You would think that Dirrel fought like a prime Roy Jones with all these comments.

    Got to laugh at the comments saying how Dirrel was robbed! He never came to fight, he came to run, hold, ***** and whine. For 10 rounds his performance was absolutely embarassing!! especially from round6-10 when he was tired. He should have had more than 1 point for holding deducted. I never like to question anyone with the bottle to step in a ring, but he fought like a total ***** last night!

    That was never enough to take a champions title away., I am not saying he should have came out and stood toe to toe and fought Froch's fight, but he took "hit but dont be hit" to a new level.
