That's how i saw the fight too. Also, I had Froch easily winning the 12th round. Even Dirrell, to his credit, admitted in the post fight interview that he lost the critical last round to Carl. Carl continually pressed the action and tried his best to fight out of Dirrell's ugly clinching tactics. Froch deserved the victory.
I may have been generous in round 12 by giving it to Dirrel, or influenced by the previous 2 rounds. But yeah, Froch definately won, people pay way too much attention to the final rounds ignoring the whole fight.
remind me who won? who lost? How does Dirrels '' but i landed a few more'' explanation feel around his waist?:deal
You had Froch easily winning the 12 th Do us all a favor dont watch the rest of this tourney !And not trying to diss but you can't be serious !
first of all, im not a froch fan...im not a fan of a robot nor a runner... but the difference between froch fans and dirrell fans, froch fans knows that their fighter lack skills while dirrell fans are delusional...you call that skills?:rofl:rofl:rofl if you want skills, rjj, toney, PBF(130-140lbs) etc....those are skills...
I don;t think you can say Froch won "clearly" when he wasn't landing much. he was aggressive, but it wasn't achieving anything. Dirrell was negative and that's what cost him - it looked like Carl was having much more success than he was. You don;t go to fight for a world title and try and do "just enough" - you go and make a statement. If you choose not to do that, then you can't really complain. Dirrell didn't try to do that - he shouldn't complain.
The outcome doen't include the so called majorities feelings in the history books, besides, how do you think Dirrel feels compared to Froch, I know who i'd rather be feeling like today ( Froch also doesn't have blood to clean up):smooch
Horrible fight to watch, I would have liked to see Dirrel punished more by the ref. Boxing has to be entertaining to survive, and if you agree with that, there is no place for Dirrel in boxing. He clinched, ran, fell over for no reason whatsoever, and for the most part hardly hit Frosh whilst doing so. Yes Frosh was throwing him around some, rabbit punching etc, but at least he was trying to fight/box. I mean what was Frosh supposed to do? Frosh could have just stood motionless in the center of the ring, Dirrel would have stood just outside punching range , then they could have just looked at each other for 12 rds...
I'll watch what I want to watch. Yeah, Froch won the last round and Dirrell admitted that Carl won the last round. Got it.
Don't score another fight again ..Up until there was 35 secsons left Dirrell was landing more and being the aggressor .I guess you were scoring those missed wininging punches that Froch threw ..He only said that becaquse he didn't score the KO im looking at it now ,no way in hell Froch won that rd !! The nail in the coffin came in during 1:06 of the 12th where Direell backed up froch after a 3 punch combo but you had Froch winning that rd easy ?? For real man are u one of the judges from last nights fight ??
