    Even when Froch did, he didn't land more then 1 punch at a time. The only shots he hand that was more then 1 punch at a time is illegal rabbit punching in which ******s that score it for Froch won't mention it.

    I think so.
    When the history of character assassinations is recorded, this will not go down as a success.

    1 or 2 good punches tops. About 80 rabbit punches...the look on Frochs fine ass girlfriends face says it all..I feel bad for Andre, he whooped Frochs ass in the first round of a tournament based on points, in his first title fight and lost his first fight in a fight he clearly won.

    I think that this fight proved that Dirrell is a super talent but this tournement may have come to early for him as he is far from the finished article. But I do think that even if he loses all his fights, the experience he will have gain should allow he to be a future p4p fighter.

    With a little less running, falling and holding. I feel he could have stopped Froch. His reflexes are great he just needs to know when to move and when to trade. That will come with experience.

    I thought he probably should have won but when you are fighting for a world title you need to be less negative. More so with a hostel crowd cheering everytime Froch throws a punch.

    Froch must realise that after last night, he's got near enough 0 chnce to win this tournament. He'll do well to just make it to the semi's in fact. He fought a green fighter last night and was made to look slow and ponderous, with no idea how to get to his man. I can't for the life of me, ever see how he makes it to the final bell against Kessler. If he meets Dirrell again, be it in this tournament or afterwards, then he'll lose.

    Dirrell took it easily.. In the later rounds he showed how much of a better fighter he was also..

    I'm going to ignore the minority of people who say Froch won.. I'm sick of addressing them..

    if people think dirrell is the future star of the division there dreaming,sure he has talent but needs to grow some balls and learn to stand his ground and trade...

    It was an awful decision,Dirrell showed the better skills and he made Froch miss several times.

    Froch looked like the ordinary fighter he is and I am sure he will get badly knocked out by Kessler.

    If the stats are right and Dirrell landed 286 punches to Frochs 141 then how on earth can Froch have got the decision?

    I am ashamed to be British today, it looks like we are becoming Germany when it comes to our home fighters getting decisons when they have clearly been beaten.Froch looked embarrassed when the decision was announced as he and his corner looked didn`t look atall confident.

    towards the end he came out of his shell alot more.. and was trading..

    but to stand and trade with someone alot stronger than you is just stupid.. I guess you expect him to get in the ring with Abraham and go toe to toe inside? :lol:
