Hate him or not Froch does put on entertaining fights(Pascal,Taylor). The only one that stunk up the place was Dirrell.
how could froch lose round 10 when dirrel had a point deducted? it was a 9-9 round for all three judges. no way did dirrel win 8 rounds to 4.
The two reports on the fight I read in Boxing News and The Ring magazine both had Froch a close winner, It was one of those fights where opinions differ
Here's mine.... 1........ Dirrell 10-9 2........ Even 10-10 3........ Froch 10-9 4........ Dirrell 10-9 5........ Froch 10-9 6........ Froch 10-9 7........ Froch 10-9 8........ Froch 10-9 9........ Froch 10-9 10...... Even 9-9 11...... Dirrell 10-9 12...... Dirrell 10-9 6 rounds Froch, 4 rounds Dirrell, 2 even. 115-113 Froch. That's a really tough fight to score, because neither fighter got hurt very often, and a lot of the fight was spent in the clinch. I can definitely see all three of the judges scores as respectable. If I was judging the fight as a whole, I would have it about even, but Froch was doing enough to take rounds, and they add up. If you want the annotated version with reasons why I scored each round that way, let me know. It's too long to post again lol.
