    I don't know what the hell happened to Dirrell between the Froch and Abraham fights, but I like it!

    I think Andre would stop him in a rematch. Froch is easier to hit than Abraham, and Dirrel straight up beat the **** out of AA.

    Almost certainly not.

    If the fight was on neutral ground, with competent officials, I see Direll winning a clear decision.

    (I had the last bout slightly for Direll)

    No, he most definitely did not.

    Hopkins beat the **** outta Tito.

    Calzaghe beat the **** outta Lacy.

    Wlad beat the **** outta Chambers.




    Dirrell completely out pointed Abraham, but he sure as hell didn't beat the **** out of him.

    When you beat the **** out of a guy, he's not stalking you for the KO.

    Direll started slow, as usual.

    And was outboxed, as most expected.

    But he was in better shape than Direll, with more mustard on his punches and a lot more in the tank going into the 11th.

    He hurt Froch when he opened up in the last time out, what would stopping him from finishing the job this go around?

    Abraham had 2 swollen eyes, and a cut which prior to the doctor idiotically stopping the fight, was leaking into Abrahams eye. In the corner Abraham had the look of a beaten man.

    Wasnt a beating, but was a comprehensive whooping. Stalking and desperation are 2 different things.

    Dirrell lost.

    Froch was the better man.

    26 have tried, 26 have failed.

    Just move on.

    I take my hat off to Sugar Ray Robinson, and Muhammad Ali, and Sugar Ray Leonard, all the legendary champions. But Froch gave the sport of boxing his whole life to be the best, and I feel he's earned the right to say that he is the best fighter that ever lived. And he proved himself and he think that they say that women and men lie, but his numbers don’t lie.

    Get outta here with this Dirrell bs, ever notice how many times the guy falls off balance and loses his footing when being pressured which results in him falling to the ground. In a NUMBER of fights this has happened and I don't like any of the non americans in this tourney but it was an effing disgrace seeing how often he always stumbles to the floor. I could see Ward beating the **** out of Froch, but Dirrell, no. He teed off on Abrahams gloves in the center of the ring knowing that the chump starts slow but when he was under pressure the same bs.

    Dirrell also hit that russian robot Oganov with everything including the kitchen sink and couldn't spark him out, and he has even way worse defense than Froch and is altogether a far worse fighter, and Dirrell was sitting on his shots too, hitting the dude flush.

    I did not see Froch hurt at any time in their fight.

    He was outboxed, but Dirrell had only himself to blame for leaving things ambiguous by failing to be more agressive.

    The result was NOT a robbery. Close fight.

    I believe Dirrell has learned from this error and looked better against AA.

    Therefore, I think he would close the deal more decisively if they meet again.

    But I don't see a KO.

    Dirrell runs away, falls down a lot, loses and cries.

    Again.

    It's been pointed out already (including by the venerable Booradley) that the foul was a mistake in the heat of the moment.

    Quite a few others have done the same sort of thing.
