Carl Froch

Consider not asking the question if your not going to like the answer. The Dirrell fight had among the worst combination officiating and judging in a fight I have ever seen. I expected the poll to run about 50/50 as I expect as I only expect about half of the posters on this site to be able to properly score a fight.

 

Froch kicked chicken Dirrell's arse! Dirrell is a coward!

 

I thought Kessler had done enough to win,Froch was very good but did not seem to be able to stop Kessler walking forward most of the time.With his low hand defence Froch either took too many punches or was forced to back up.The decision was fair apart from the 117.As for the Dirrel fight,Dirrel landed a lot of shots but Froch was by far the more aggresive and deserved to get that one.He has gone up in my estimation since Saturday despite all his moaning.

 

more people thought he beat dirrell than thought that dirrell beat him. the split is between the kessler decison - where most think it was correct by the judges (probally not on the cards but in terms of the results).

so much for all the shouts of robbery.

 

****, voted for the wrong options. I think he scraped by Dirrell and lost to Kessler.

 

Won against the ***** Dirrell and got owned by Kessler.

 

I think he beat Dirrell, though in a rematch I'll favor Dirrell because let's face it...

I thought he lost the Kessler fight by a few rounds. He was outworked and by his own admission those body punches were sapping his strength and energy.

I think he'll beat Abraham because of the style matchup. People forget Froch can box a bit. I'm really looking forward to that fight though, because it's pretty much a toss-up.

Froch is underrated, but he could be so much better than he is if he didn't let his ego get in the way of doing what he has to to win.

 

I'm gonna say this one time, and one time only. I think a lot of people, myself included, tend to under rate Froch. Now, don't ask me to say anything nice about Carl the Clumsy ever again:nono

 

I had him losing both, although both were close. He may get a decision vs Kessler at home, but most likely doesn't get the decision he did vs Dirrell on the road. IMO his "0" was on borrowed time going into the Kessler fight as he had been "lucky" to win vs both Taylor and Dirrell.

All that said, I think the dude is seriously under appreciated. He has achieved alot with a limited skill set. I can't seem to bring myself to root for him yet, but I certainly respect his effort and balls in the ring.

 

#2. Beat Dirrell, Lost to Kessler
