    I thought he was, especially after watching the fight again.
    **** where they were fighting, he fought better over 12 rounds and froch didnt do enough for the win.

    IMO Andre Ward should outbox Froch with ease.

    No, he did nothing to try and take the belt. When you go to the champ's backyard, you actually have to engage him and look like you want to be there if you want to take the strap home.

    I scored it 115-114 direll but its not like either guy really did enough to win, although dirells speed clearly bothered froch, i think direll is very talented but he is also alittle weird and not that strong mentally, froch was lucky in that fight but I dont know if I would call it a robbery since it was close.

    Dont give me that bull****, trying to take the ****ing champ's belt. This is boxing, who gives a **** where you fight and what the situation is, judge the ****ing fight from the 12 rounds you are viewing with your very eyes.

    Look at the look on Froch's face at the end of the fight, he knows he's a beaten man.

    Froch record should be 27 wins, 2 losses.

    a little bit hypocritical to respond to that guy by saying "Judge the ****ing fight from the 12 rounds you are viewing with your very eyes." and then in the very next sentence say "Look at the look on Froch's face at the end of the fight, he knows he's a beaten man."

    How the **** is that hypocritical?

    The point I was making was Froch, from the look on his face thought he lost the fight, not the fact that the judges were going to observe the fighters emotions and switch around the scoring based on the looks on their faces:rofl:patsch

    'Robbery', is probably too strong of a word to describe Dirrell's loss. I didn't see any clean work from Froch, and I thought Dirrell clearly won. Had he [Dirrell] been more confident in his ability and applied more aggression like he eventually did, he would won in a more convincing manner. Because the problem with him, was that he was too inexperienced to realize that Froch wasn't as tough as he thought he was, and that he didn't need to show him that much respect early on. This was evident when he began opening up later on, and easily got the better of him.

    However, he kind of loses the right to complain about a 'robbery', with all of the running he was doing early on.

    A boxing fight is normally won by scoring the most rounds (provided there are no KDs) or stopping your opponent. Regardless if you're fighting a champ or a bum and where the fight takes place.

    ward might outbox froch, but he isnt as fast as direll and he also isnt powerfull so I doubt he will hurt him badly.
    by the way am I the only one that thinks the direll fight was very hard to score? there were so many close rounds in this fight i can understand why people have a lot of different scorecards.

    I think Ward will win but not as easily as most think. And Froch got better from the Dirrell fight. If they would meet now Froch would probably win it more impressive.
