Super Six Round 3: Abraham - Froch / August 21th

How can you even try to defend someone that mistook a boxing match for a marathon race around the ring. Everytime it did almost become a boxing match Dirrell fell over, even when he wasnt hit. What type of champion is that?

 

That's called boxing.

Whether he fell over when it was convenient or not IDK, he may have, I don't remember, but it doesn't bother me for 4 reasons all of which would be enough on their own:

1. he wins the fight even if he doesn't fall over those times he did

Froch antagonised me with this **** that follows:

2. Froch mistook a boxing match for a street fight, I've not seen so much roughhouse tactics since I last watched both Tyson Holy fights... come to think of it that combo doesn't come close
3. The ref doesn't do **** for the gazilion gazzilions times Froch pulls the dirty ****, but jumps on Dirrell's ass every time he retaliates
4. After he gets a decision Froch is smug as **** when he could have gotten KDd even in this kind of a dirty fight, not to mention had it been a clean fight

 

Thats two stoppage losses for Froch in a span of 4 months.

 

Newby Johnson i presume u dont like Hopkins and Ward either then?. Both of whoich fight more dirty than froch yet get hailed as being "crafty".

 

I think this will be a great match up. Someone will get knocked down that's for sure.

 

Actually, I like it when fighters fight a little dirty, and I especially like Hops who has this kinda scoundrel thing going that I find very entertaining. The difference btw Hops (and others like Ward, but especially Hops) is that Hops will use every trick in the book, cut every corner, take every shortcut and then in the postfight interview he's gonna talk fast and try to make himself out to be the victim, while froch will stand there and look tough and tell you "yeah I roughed but it's a fight" and he's gonna be smug and really believe he did nothing wrong. I find the first very likable and amusing while the second i find repulsive.

And that manner of Froch's, it's just dislikeability incarnate. That meatheady machoism. If he fights dirty he'd say "yeah I did but it's a fight" and he's gonna look tough when he says it (ooooh, so macho, Carl) and he's gonna believe it. That attitude I don't like, like he's gona say that only standing toe to toe is fighting. That extreme meatheady machoism while being completely straight and honest (in the sense that he wouldn't hide the fact that he roughed) I really dislike.

 

So you dislike the fact he is honest about being rough and dirty and prefer it when ppl try to lie or deny it? You dont like honest villians and instead like cowardly dishonest villians who dont even have the backbone to admit they cheat.
The meathead approach i can see both sides of the argument so i give you that, but imo he is just trying to be a true old school style boxer. And remeber boxing is thousands of years old before some one trys telling me about boxers in the 20s-60s that were slick.
