    Abraham vs Taylor was a good fight and lived up to the hype without a doubt, The Froch/Dirrell fight was not so good but they all can't all be classics and the last few rounds at least had some excitement and could have gone either way, so calling it a farse is a little much.

    I'm not talking B-hop here, or anyone else for that matter. I'm talking about THIS fight and the injustices that happened THERE.

    And if you compare the illegal tactics that Andre used with the illegal tactics that Froch used it's crystal clear Froch's ones were 10 times worse. So when Andre get's a point deduction, Froch should've received already 3 point deductions.

    Yes...the injustice was that we had to sit through 12 rounds of crap because we love the sport of boxing so much!!:-(

    If Dirrell wasn't hanging onto Froch every time they got within spitting distance, Froch wouldn't have been rabbit punching, pushing his head down etc. Clinching is fouling in itself. You should be criticising Dirrell before you slag off Froch for fouling.

    Are you sure that Froch's cheap shots weren't a result of Andre heading for the exit door? Obviously the ref thought so.

    I really can't see how people can say from an unbiased perspective that Froch won that fight.

    It's very simple to see who won. The fight was in Nottingham, which is Carl Froch's back yard, and he won by split decision. Translated into reality, that means Dirrell whooped his ass.
