    Both. One was too slow, and sloppy, and the other jumped around like thing on a string.

    They were a match made in hell. But I wasn't bored by Froch - Pascal, and I wasn't bored by Froch - Taylor.

    Thats easy. If dirrel continued this type of fighting, he may well be the next P4P king to some people's eyes. Nah, he forget it. He has a loss already.

    Dirrell held but had a point taken away for it and I still had him winning by a point or two.

    Dirrel did nothing buy hold, run, fall down on canvas, complain, etc.

    Dirrell. Although Froch should be thanking his lucky stars that Andre clinched, bitched, and ran around so much. If Dirrell had actually sat down on his punches more often there's a good chance Froch would've been KOed because whenever he decided to sit down on his punches Andre found it way too easy to land clean shots on Carl's face.

    I wish whoever was pulling the string on your back would stop.

    The crowd made it interesting to be honest other wise it was boring as hell.The british fans are always passionate and show plenty of enthusiasm.And their fighters are willing to put on a show.Too bad the visitor wanted non of that he made it a boring fight as possible.Carl Froch wanted to exchange Dirrell didn't.

    atleast carl tried to make it a fight.

    not his fault other man was scared shitless hugging,running,diving for a hug again, running faster than usain bolt around the ring, then hugging for dear life again...You can tell he was scared.

    Dirrel = Pure NEGATIVE tactics!
    i remember when HBO boycotted him after he fought curtis stevens who could bang! ...But i think after that he relised & became more aggressive in the fight after.

    niether the ref. if he wouldve stopped the holding and rabbit punches on the inside dirrel wouldve eventually had to sit still and punch more often. but the ref had his balls removed prior to the fight so he was afraid to enforce any authority.

    It wasn't boring, lot of drama with a nice tackle by Froch in the mid rounds.

    Ugly I think is the right way to describe the fight. Froch fights ugly, everybody knew that coming into the fight. But Dirrell certainly stunk up the fight even more with all the running and hugging.

    IMO Dirrell won but frankly I don't care about the robbery, it was an ugly fight and I wasn't entertained so I don't really care who won.

    At the very least, Froch brought Rachel Cordingley to the table.
