Debate it *****.

Stop trying to appeal to the majority because you lack the boxing knowledge to properly judge a fight.

 

To each his own. It was an alright fight but I just don't see how someone could possibly have it for Froch but everyone has their own opinion. Personally, I score for effectiveness and thought Froch wasn't that at all and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Dirrell fan. I have nothing bad to say to people who scored it for Froch we're all different & have different opinions I respect that. Even before I became a Kotelnik fan I scored his fight with Alexander for him. Kotelnik 116-113 in a close fight and at the time I was scoring I was and still am an Alexander fan. I even scored DLH-Mosely II for Oscar though I'm probably the biggest Shane fan on here. Just thought I'd share my examples of non-biased on my scorecards lol. Nothing against Froch especially after his war with my other boy Pascal but I just didn't think Froch won that fight with Dirrell. Again, to each his/her own. I thought Dirrell won that with no question but not everyone will feel the same way I do.

 

watched it earlier. gave dirrel by a close 1 point.

also he had a point taken of him if iremeber rightly so shoulld have been better margin

 

It was close, end of. I was just about to say before reading your post dont expect me to rewatch it

I dont know what all the ****ing crying about it is for, it could have gone either way, without a doubt IMO.

 

Anyone who can find 6 rounds to give to Froch during that fight, is either lying to themselves, extremely biased, or doesnt know **** about how to score a fight.

 

From a British point of view I scored it for Dirrell by a round.

But can you really expect to run for 12 rounds and take someones belt? For me he won the fight, but didn't do enough to win the belt if that makes sense.

 

Round 10 was a 9-9 round. Even the italian and belgian referee managed to get the right.

Dirrell lost a point, but also won the round. Ala 9-9.

 

It was close on the cards, but it should have been a little wider. How Froch didn't get points deducted for three hard, blatant punches to the back of the skull or hurling Dirrell onto the mat WWE style I'll never know.

Dirrell by 2 points. Reasonably close fight, but The Matrix deserved to take it.


I like Froch though, I'd be very interested in a rematch.

 

It doesnt. Because there is nothing in the rules that says that you have to fight a certain way to win a belt. :nut

 

You and me both buddy. Once again your boxing knowledge is always appreciated. :good

 

People who have Dirrell winning generally have him up by a round or two, that's a close fight in my book.

 

When I was watching it live, I didn't think Froch did enough...I thought Dirrell edged it. I'm sure I scored it a draw, or in Dirrell's favour by a point when I rewatched it...I can't remember, I'll have to rewatch it at some point.

It was a close bout though...once again, if I remember rightly...I thought at the time that Dirrell wasn't doing nearly enough to show the judges that he was clearly winning certain rounds.

 

Of course there isn't. And I agree Dirrell should have won. But there is always that thing that a fighter needs to take a title from a champion. For me, it's arguable he was a little too negative and it counted against him.
