I had it two rounds plus the point for Froch. Froch called it an easy night because there was barely any fighting due to Dirrell. I was impressed by Dirrell last night but he did see to gas about the 9th. It was a legitimate knockdown and dirrell started to back up to the ropes leaning back with his chin straight up in the air. AA was starting to get to him. Would he have been able to finish him in the next few minutes who knows, but the tide had turned. Ref was worful but the DQ was just. Have read a couple of article where the writter says there was 5 seconds between Dirrell going down and AA hitting him. What rubbish. There wasn't even half that on the slow motion replay!!! He was in the throws of the combination. It was no different to a late tackle in football. DQ was the apropriate result and I'm sure Dirrell will be ok.
Dirrell served up an old school ass kicking. He got robbed the first time and Abraham denied him the dignity of the win.
Btw, even the idiotic dumbass judge from Italy and Belgium scored round 10, 9-9. you know because Dirrell hurt Froch.
heres an idea...when trying to take a guys title...."try and take the guys title" and not use the fine art of self defense and safety first and moving backwards ....froch practially chased the guy out of the ring :huh
I need to watch the fight again, too many people whos opinion i respect has the fight a wash for dirrell when i thought it was a close fight.... im off to review this :good
I dont strictly go by that, if boxing was as easy as just counting punches that land we could judge every fight with a calculator.
ineffective, sloppy pressure and punching the air doesn't mean you get to keep your title either.....a champ has to protect his title as much as a challenger has to fight for it........
really kirk ??? wow, aside from frochs die hard fans i dont see how anyone (even frochs mom) can have it scored for him
we will see, i will rewatch it soon... I think its negative when a fighter falls over, runs away and does all that sort of thing that Dirrell was doing throughout the fight... against the champion. (not saying he didnt do a lot of good in there too, but he did his fair share of stupid **** too) That really bothered me.... ill have another watch though and sit down and score it round by round.
Dirrell beat Froch fair and square. Even if he acted like ***** doing it. See that **** he pulled the whole match, makes you think he would absolutely take a dive to win a match V Abraham.
