I watched Froch Dirrell with British commentators...

Steve Dunce is a fellow that swears that Don King is great for boxing.Anybody who knows anything about boxing and Don King knows what an insane point of view that is.Don King is a bloodsucker of the nth degree and Dunce thinks he's great.Dunce is a useless mother****er.But he's nowhere near as bad as King because King the scumbag has juice.

 

Exactly what I saw! In one exchange Froch corners Dirrell in a corner, pummells him with several unanswered shots. Dirrell manages to duck away from the corner without returning a single punch at Carl and then runs across the ring like a scared schoolgirl with Carl in hot pursuit. It was almost funny to watch. These two English commentators proceeded to talk about Andre's defensive wizardry. All I saw was a scared punk afraid to set himself and fire back at the champion. Froch came to fight. Dirrell just ran.

 

Amazing that Froch managed to get tattooed by a guy who wasn't even punching. Heck, he got wobbled a few times.

Are you really criticizing Dirrell for evading punches and then getting out of a corner instead STAYING IN A CORNER AND THROWING? How bout the other times Froch pulled that **** and got clocked for his troubles, THEN Dirrell slipped out and moved back into the center? It was an ugly fight in which Dirrell looked bad but Froch looked bad, slow, frustrated, outclassed, and had no solution other than walking headfirst into Dirrell.

 

Dirrell would punch for short, explosive periods especially late in the fight but for the most part I saw him trying to avoid the constant pressure of Carl. He held way to much forcing Carl to throw awkward punches from within Dirrells clinches. He often backed up Andre with single jabs and then chased him into corners and against the ropes with follow up punches. That's when i saw the exchange discussed above. Carl mauled him in the corner and all Dirrell could do was escape and run from Carl. Very negative style and Dirrell was more busted up after the fight than Carl. Carl was landing enough meaningful shots to consistently back his man up, force him to clinch incessantly to catch a break from constant pressure and get bloodied up and stumbling over his own feet. You don't take an undefeated champion's title away off that kind of negative effort no matter how pretty his occasional combinations looked in the last few rounds.

 

Dirrell fought going backwards because that's how he fights. You're not talking about Mosely backing up Margarito here. Dirrell was on his back foot the whole night because he knew the only chance Froch had was if he stood in front of him and let Froch land something lucky.

You're penalizing Dirrell for fighting a smart fight. It was ugly, and you may not have liked the holding, but he won the BOXING match. He threw more, landed more, landed cleaner, won more rounds, won more rounds convincingly, and made Froch look flat out unskilled.

The exchange mentioned above was when Froch threw fourteen or fifteen ugly, winging punches, landed with nothing, and then Dirrell got out. It happened once, and was hardly the story of the fight. Far more often Froch followed him into a corner, got hit one or twice coming in, or got hit once or twice after throwing a few punches that landed on gloves, elbows or air, and then Dirrell moved out of the corner again.

I'm amazed that people are penalizing Dirrell for NOT standing in ther corner and trading with Froch. How ****ing ridiculous.

 

If Froch was that outclassed and landing with nothing as you suggest why would Dirrell be holding on for dear life round after round in those critical middle rounds. He was getting mauled and did what he had to do to survive the onslaught. He got beaten up within those clinches by Froch, although it did look ugly. To his credit Dirrell admitted in the post fight interview that Carl won the crucial last round. The fight was ugly, close and frustrating to watch. I had it a draw or a very close fight to Froch for his aggressive effort to make a fight out of a track meet.

 

I'm sure that before the decision was announced Bunce said that he had Dirrell winning 10 rounds, yet when the decision is announced he said that it wasn't a hometown verdict.

I'm a Froch fan and I'm embarassed to be honest.

 

I guess its a good time resurrect this thread...

 

Right guys, Dirrell was on the end of a hard decision. Get over it. He wasnt exactly blameless either, what with his constant falling to the ground, holding, moaning and apparent disinclination to actually fight all that much. Very few boxers will ever take titles in the other guy's hometown with that approach. I thought Dirrell won the fight myself, but the amount of bitching and whining about the decision is unbelievable given his approach.

 

It was just their opinion in a fight that could have gone either way.

 

I dont mind people who think Dirrell won the fight against Froch but dont act like it was clear cut. There were many difficult rounds to score and it was a very close fight. This is not the time to be using words like robbery it could have gone both ways.

The judges saw Froch being the aggressor and coming forward but unfortunately Dirrell was to cautious for the first 8 rounds.

Former world champion Jim Watt was commentating the fight of British stream and he said that Dirrell could not win the fight without throwing punches. Jim Watt had Froch winning. There is no way the chicken, Hollywood Dirrell won that fight. Dirrell was afraid, ran, held, fell down on canvas and complained. Those same Dirrell fans claim that Vitali and Vlad can't fight. They claim that Vlad holds, etc., yet they support a damned chicken like Dirrell?! I saw the fight and Dirrell lost his arse! Dirrell was acting in that fight as well. He had to cheat to win a fight. MRI does not lie. NO CONCUSSION!

 

The vast majority of people know Dirrell won. Even the ones that say it could have gone either way know that you'd have to give Froch every swing round to even make it close.


Its a joke really, a joke that should be avenged in due time.
