    You watch it again. I'd prefer to avoid ever doing so again, to be honest.

    You know that boxing matches aren't decided based on who lands the most shots over 12 rounds, right?

    Oh, I'm sorry, that's right, they also factor in 'effective aggression and defense', of which Froch had neither. :huh

    Although i think Dirrell won fairly handily the stats in this thread aren't remotely accurate.

    These guys must be getting desperate if they have to come up with spurious punch stats as evidence that Dirrell won :D

    Exactly. I was actually rooting for Froch. But Direll won. And when a fighter gets ripped off by either incompetent or corrupt judges it pisses me off as a boxing fan.

    So if we use punch stats ect do we all agree calzaghe destroyd hopkins?. Joe threw way way way more so guess his victory was clear and well deserved. OR no doubt the same rules dont count for that fight .

    I wasn't exactly "rooting" for Froch, but I did expect him to run right over Dirrell. In my opinion the fact that he didn't says more about Froch's limitations than it says about Dirrell's "skill."

    Calzaghe should have had a UD. It was a terrible fight, but Calzaghe dictated the pace, as well as connected with many more punches.

    I would like to invite any Froch fan to come on this thread and please state WHY Froch won and not just boast over the fact that he got a gift. There is all this arguement in favor of Dirrell but no one counters that intelligently with some Froch positive. All they say is "You're just mad Froch won." There is no problem with people thinking Froch won just as long as they provide valid reasoning on why they think so. And I mean VALID.

    The difference between Dirrell - Froch and Calzaghe - Hopkins is that Dirrell threw more, and had a higher connect %, and landed the bigger shots. With that said the stats provided in this thread are dubious at best.

    Thats completely different considering Calzaghe threw punches with the power of a 2 yr old.

    I had it like Yahoo! boxing did: a two point win for Froch.

    BTW those stats are BS.


    Dirrell's trainer even told him going into the 12th that he had to knock Frock out to win the fight.

    I wager that if Abraham v Taylor had come down to points ,with Abraham winning ,there would be the same robbery claims from the yank peanut gallery. I would expect a torrent of threads about the "crooked super 6" tournie.
