When Dirrell was on the way up. I really thought he was going to be a good fighter. He was fighting fair challenges like Hanshaw and Ogenov. But when Dirrell fought a world class fighter he just couldnt adapt to pressure
What people cant handle is the horrible European judging. It certainly wasnt the crowd where there were points in the fight you could hear a pin drop. I'd say fighting in Montreal is tougher. Fighting a Puerto Rican in New York is tougher. Fighting a Mexican in LA is tougher. The only difficult thing about fighting in Britain is that there is basically no rules. McClellan was beaten ******ed by rabbit punches. Tsyzu was nut punched and wrestled into retirement. Froch couldnt outbox Dirrell he had to out UFC him. If I was a world champion boxer who could draw a sizable crowd in my hometown, I'd never fight in Europe. Its like the wild west out there in terms of boxing.
Highlighted in Red are the comments of a coward. As said the tough European scene. Still you must be forgetting how Ward can use elbows and his head or Hopkins can hit low and use the head
120-108 Froch atsch What cant you grasp, the fight was terrible, and I am in no hurry to watch it again. Its a fight where the losing fighter acted like a pansy (one for you to keep watching). Just remember that Froch won and The Ring and Boxing News thought so to, as well as Froch outlanding Dirrell. That loss really hurts you
I see that bitchgan-warrior is still defending his glass heart homie dirrell, who bitched out of fighting ward. Shaw hi lol. Just stop it bitchinwarrior, u will just get "floored" if u keep talking about boxing.
Given how dreadful European fighters are below Heavyweight. Why would you want to risk getting robbed or seriously injured like McClellan fighting some C class European fighter? When you can fight in America, or Canada and get a fair shake without the possibility of getting hurt? If Europe had some better fighters, I'd consider it. But im not going to fight the likes of Dzinzurik or Kessler or Cleverly in Europe, just to get robbed or injured., Andre Ward has proven himself massively superior to every European fighter in the Super Six. They cant compete with his athleticism, strength and skill. Why fight in europe? All they could do is rob him. And I suspect thts what you want.
No. Losing a fight is what happened to Pascal vs Hopkins. Or Lemux vs Rubio. What happened in Froch vs Dirrell was a robbery. Like Andrade vs Bute.
I don't know why this fight still gets mentioned. Even Dirrell has said he should have done more and doesn't mind the decision. Why do people insist on moaning about it? It's not like Dirrell tried to win, even if you think he deserved it. It's not the type of decision people can moan about and I think Dirrell himself knows that.
MichiganWarrior You sound like a mujahideen on a Jihad. Give it rest, will you? You´re turning people against Dirrell with your fanatic ranting.
I've been deploring the decision since it occurred and more people still believe Dirrell was robbed then "didnt do enough". Dirrell was never more popular until immediately after the Abraham fight. He'll be popular again when he's fighting again because he is a special talent. The only people who will have it out for him is Europeans. Same with Ward. Their division has been usurped.
Stop lying. Dirrell believes he was robbed. He however isnt a whiny child like Froch. He is a mature professional. Froch may continuously whine about his bad performances, not Dirrell. Obviously getting outboxed and made to look foolish that night still hurts Froch, Dirrell has long since moved on.
As much of a ***** Dirrell later became there is no way in hell Froch outlanded him or even beat him that fight ..Unless they were counting the wild slaps he missed ..[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUm8AHqiPKU&feature=grec_index[/ame]
