Had it to Froch by one point. Really awful fight though. Anyone who thinks its a blatant robbery know **** all......Anyone who thinks Dirrell put on some kind of boxing clinic know ****. Dirrells tactics were particularly awful in this fight I thought and I'm not gonna moan one bit. One thing is for sure though....Kessler is gonna put one hell of a beating on our boy
On a different note altogether Froch's Mrs is ****ing on fire I had never seen her previously but you have to give the guy a big thumbs up:thumbsup
Its was funny on there last night, one guy apologized for the decision "on behalf of his country" (although he didn't specify which government office gave him the authority to this) and another wrote a passionate (if slightly melodramatic) "I'm leaving boxing, delete my ESB account" post.....
BTW Dirrell, won imo, he clearly landed the cleaner punches. But it´s always difficult to get a decision in your opponents backyard. Dirrell hurt Froch a couple of times. He shlud´ve gone for the knockout.
horrible fight to watch, i had froch winning it by a round and because he's the champ and dirrell was too negative, reminded me of the first few rounds between hatton an mayweather, very frustrating for froch, dirrell made him look stupidly slow and he even wobbled froch around the 7th. unless froch can speed up a bit and cover up better he's gonna lose on points to kessler and i think the fight after against abraham he will get stopped, abraham's power could leave froch seriously hurt, theres only so much that chin of carls will take. kessler/abraham final.
I fell asleep in round 1, briefly woke for a few seconds in round 3 before nodding off for the night. But I'd imagine I would have scored it to Dirrell by a round or two had I seen the fight.
Froch could do with working with Enzo Calzaghe on throwing quick combinations in close. Maybe a few weeks with the Welsh lunatic to focus on that skill, or maybe just some time with Rob shoring up this element of his game plan. There was no excuse for not going to the body when Dirrell was on the ropes - stupid, stupid headhunting.
Thats a ridiculous statement Dirrel was hiting and moving nothing wrong with that he was making Froch iss then coming back with counters he wasnt running he stood his ground on occasion aswell but the plan for him was to move and he did that. But honestly if a defensive boxer dosent get the decision over an ineffictivly aggresive fighter its a joke, Frochs offence was ineffective so surely the scoring criterea is effective aggresion or defence and Dirrels Defence>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Frochs Aggresion. Fr4och is a **** anyway a dirty ****
Yup. That's the core of it. I thought both were dirty though. I like appealing to the referee and taking a knee when you lose your balance even less than the rough stuff.
