Im going to be surprised if Dirrell didnt land twice as many punches as froch. I know you can't judge a fight on stats, but alot of people are saying Dirrell was too negative and didnt throw enough, but without a doubt he outlanded Froch by a big big distance. Barring round 6 I struggle to think of Froch landing many clean shots. How long will we have to wait for the stats to be released? Are there even any? and will they even release them? Who are in charge of these things, If Dirrell is clearly miles ahead on the stats would it be damaging to release them now hte decision went the wrong way? By the way, im british and was shouting For a Froch win. Im not going to go as far as calling it a robbery, but it was a very very poor decision.
The fight wasn't close. 7-5 dirrell at the least but I had it 8-4. Froch has no honor with his rabbit punching (his only consistent punch). Dirrell beat him easily in all criteria to score a fight. The fix was on and if you listened to those bozo commentating you would think that they were watching a different fight. Dirrell won period.
I clicked on this thread cause i really want to see the fight stats myself! If you don't base a fight on stats then what exacty do you base it on? Dirrell out punched Froch 2-1 and out landed 2-1! Dirrell hurt Froch twice in the fight yet he was never hurt! Dirrell outboxed Froch through out the fight! Overall Dirrell was the better man in the ring! Froch fans are saying Dirrell "ran" but yet Dirrell beat Froch to the punch on damn near all of the exchanges! This is why boxing is fading fast!! Anyone who understands boxing and the BUSINESS of boxing know why Dirrell was "suppose" to lose!
Dirrell's only running was when he was sliding away from the winging punches ..Funny that his fans call it running but how could he have ran all night if he was tagging Froch !!!
wow, this is so stupid... Dirrel hurt Froch? GIF? get real noob, he never had froch hurt, and Froch's glancing blows marked his face up, Froch wasn't the one bleeding and crying to the ref. Boxings fading fast because of whiney bitches liek Dirrel refusing to fight and pot shotting themselves to what they hope is win, knowing full well they didn't do enough. Dirrel needs to be expelled from this super 6 tournament. atsch
Nobody but nobody wants to watch fights like that. They would have to pay me to view if I knew what kind of fight it would be. The snoozefest was entirely down to Dirrell's spoiling tactics. I always thought Americans favoured action fighters, guys with 'heart', warriors - I'm stunned to see them backing up this guy for running away.
Believe me, Froch's camp will be doing anything in their power to make sure those stats aren't released. They know he got outpunched by a wide margin.
The reason why there isn't gonna be punch stats is because everyone in boxing knows that Dirrell is far more superior in boxing skills and If the numbers come out it will be an uproar about why Froch won!! The BUSINESS of boxing was counting on Froch KOing a young and "green" Dirrell! Trust me the money is in Europe at SMW right now!
dirrell hardly threw any punches bar the 10th and 11th rounds! He was dancing about without throwing anything for most of the middle rounds..THAT IS WHY HE LOST!! Had he attacked like he did in the latter rounds he would have won EASILY
