Froch vs Dirrell controversy thread

Yup, like trying to own the fight. Most of the fight he tried to avoid more than he tried to win.

Outboxing is PBF vs JMM or Kessler vs Andrade. This was neither. Or even close to this.

:good

 

I agree, but 2 questions:

1. In what boxing rulebook does it say you have to "take the fight to the Champion"?

2. Does slipping/falling have anything to do with how you score a boxing match?
:think

 

1.ring generalship-dirrell
2.clean effective punches-dirrell
3.effective aggression-dirrell (hard to say any thing froch was doing was effective)

 

Walking forward without throwing punches isn't effective aggression. That's what Froch did most of the fight. When he DID get a shot at Dirrell he missed wildly. When they DID trade shots Dirrell got the better of it. Any way you slice it no matter how little you feel Dirrell did, Froch did less. This taking the belt from the Champ thing is bull****. The Champ has to prove that he deserves to keep it. And I saw nothing from Froch that showed that. Dirrell made some glaring defensive mistakes and fought sloppy much of the time and Froch never made him pay for it.

Dirrell didn't stand in front of Froch and trade because Froch is a limited fighter with good power who only wins when people stand in front of him and let him tee off. You're essentially saying that Dirrell must fight Froch's fight to win. That's ridiculous.

 

The fight was pretty hard to score if you ask me. I was surprised that even on his home soil Froch was able to get away with hitting Dirrell on the break twice and throwing him to the ground. It was a messy affair and if you ask me, Dirrell deserves a lot of credit for his performance (yes, even with the holding and the running). He had never fought anybody like Froch and had never gone 12 rounds for that matter. He made it close enough to be debatable and showed toughness that we hadn't yet seen from him.

 

Dirrel was bleeding from the nose and mouth for a reason. Did he hit himself? You do not get points for holding, running, complaining, falling down on canvas, etc.

 

atsch

 

carl is a dirty joke of a fighter. He will get ktfo in this tourney, mark my words. He is the most ordinary fighter with an 0 besides Chavez jr.

 

Froch.

Because when it got right down to it, Dirrell was great at making Froch miss but bad at making him pay.

Go watch Michael Moorer vs Vaughan Bean for another good example of that.

 

Froch paid over and over again in 10-12. He spent 1-9 making love with the air.

You're English though, I expect you to rep your boy. It would be something else if you actually abandoned the bias at the door.

 

I will like to see what rounds by rounds you people gave in this fight cause how the hell even if most thought Dirrell win it still have it very close? This fight was not close at all. I guess if most put the fight on mute most would have it for Dirrell by 8 rounds with 1 point took away. Cause i had it 117-110 for Dirrell. I don't see how anybody gave Froch more then 2 rounds well 3 rounds with an extra point for Froch will be fair but come on 4 rounds for Froch? I like Al but damn when i heard he thought the early rounds were close i was like (wtf he's watching?). Yes Dirrell hold alot (except the 11th and the 12th) but Froch was being a dirty fighter with shoving, hitting behind the head alot of times on purpose. See this is why i didn't do an avatar bet cause i knew if Dirrell would win it easy, he won't get the decision in england and damn i was right. I got to see the compubox in which i bet Dirrell landed way more and threw way more punches.

 

Had it 116 to 112 Dirrell.

Dont know what the judges were watching.

But hey it was in the UK.

 

you never should have to take the belt from the champ. when you sign the contract you are no longer the champ and are contending to get it back in the ring. take it from the champ is bs. Froch was brought to the light for being a limited fighter that he is. if dirrel is only a runner a good fighter that can "expose" someone shouldve cut the ring off and stopped dirrel. and the scores were just wrong

 

Why do trolls get responses?

 

Dirrell fought like a ***** and got hit, that doesn't mean he didn't win... Boxing is about landing punches , something Dirrell did and something Froch rarely did.
