    stick and move is a legitimate tactic, i guarentee you he landed more cleaner punches than froch, froch was punching air most of the fight - he was made to look stupid

    Almost knocked Dirrell Down?? A bitof hyperbole methinks.

    But I did score the round for Froch. The only round in the first 6 for him

    Because Dirrell can hit his opponent while going backwards...it's called boxing.

    If that was his best 56 seconds then that is damn poor.

    But yeah, I don't think Dirrell had 56 seconds where he impressed. He had 1 second here and 2 seconds there... and so on.

    I think the nationalism comes at more of an extreme with British fans because they're fewer of them that succeed or make it at the highest level. Therefore they have to hold on to them and try boosting them as much as you can. Ricky Hatton's huge fan-base and popular is no mystery. With the British fight fans, there seems to be more aggrandizement than with American fans. There seem to just be so much more options that you can be less particularly in regards to the nationality of that fighter. I was rooting for Calzaghe against Jones and Hatton against Pac-man. That's not too uncommon, seems that way for the British, and rooting for the opposition of your few great British fighters is a lot more seldom.

    I had it 114-113...froch..

    froch won 2,3,6,7,9,and 12....anybody that says froch didn't land need to take dirrell's balls out of there mouth, just like gus johnson for showtime needs to do....who was bleeding and puffy, and holding on for dear life from even semi-grazing shots...mr. huggy bear dirrell....

    I had dirrell winning 1,4,5,8,10(but was an even round because of the point deduction) and 11.....

    As i siad before nobody can claim a bias against me....I'm partial to dirrell's style and american not a brit, but the holding by dirrell was horrible, and inside work from froch won him 6 rounds...
