Froch Supporters should admit it

Americas next potential boxing superstars?

Try scoring a fight before round 11 k?

 

No way could those four run round a ring a hundred times as fast as Andre

 

Im from Europe and Dirrell won that fight. He landed more often and he landed the cleanest punches. Froch fought a dirty, lousy fight and Im extremely disapointed by his perfomance.

Dont hide behind that bull**** EU vs USA thing.

 

I'm a Froch fan but he got a major gift last night.

 

Reality check.

Dirrell barely landed more, certainly not the power shots, which Froch outlanded him on.

Froch chased him down and tried to fight, Dirrell ran and didn't even try and counter, thats massive in a judges eyes.

Froch only fought dirty because Dirrel spent the night clinching and diving, while throwing his head down and ramming it in Frochs stomach, so if Dirrel wasnt constantly clinching, Froch couldnt fight dirty no?

Dirrel is bad for the sport.

The biggest thing on this forum, people could accept Dirrel winning by a round, maybe 2... but peopel claiming it was a robbery? it was a close fight, I personally had Froch winning by quite a bit, but with the rounds so close, you can argue rounds, I score on aggression, and Dirrel didn't throw/counter anywhere near enough to stake a claim to counter that aggression.

Dirrel won the last 2 rounds ( 3 barring the deducted point) thats what has people upset, they only remember the last few rounds.

 

You are just extremely wrong. Dirrell did land cleaner and more often. Also I cant even remember Froch landing power shots? Froch did chase Dirrell and Dirrell did hold and ducked his head down - but thats called defensive fighting - PBF and others has showed this numerous times.

You cannot score a fight solely based on aggresion. You have to count how many times the fighters land punches. You know - hit the other guy in the head or in the stomach - not in the back of their heads and not on their backs. Dirrell was way too scared and ran too much. But he did indeed land more punches. Froch won most rounds from 5 to 9 and then the 10th was close in my book. But 11 and 12 belong to Dirrell if you score the fight by punches landed.

 

Wait, are you seriously arguing that running away = ring generalship and should be scored positively?

 

I admit that Dirrell ran like a *****, but that doesn't mean he didn't win... it was a pretty clear decision for Dirrell in my mind... anyone who says otherwise is obviously a non-objective boxing fan... you brits are WAY TOO nationalistic .. it's disgusting.

 

I didn't realise that good defence included running around the ring like a headless chicken trying to avoid Froch for the entire fight!
Get real dude.

 

The most detailed and objective posts I've read on this forum today are from people who say that there was very little clear about any of the rounds in that fight and that there are quite a lot of them that you could make an argument for scoring one way or the other.

I could link you to a couple of those posts if you feel it would help with your 'objectivity'....
