    Excessive holding? :lol: I thought taking a point from both wouldve been fair but Froch with his rabbit punches, body slams and head locks the more egregious offender

    You're not Mrs Dirrell are ya? You seem to love him like a mother would. Rabbit punches? Like when Dirrell would clinch and duck below the waist? Not once have I said Froch is above reproach for his conduct in that fight, but the way you ignore everything Dirrell did wrong really outlines why people don't take seriously some of the things you say. I've said before; Dirrell LOST that fight. He could've won, but he pissed his chance away. He learnt and upped his game against Abraham, but then he reverted to type after the KD in round 10. All you go on about is potential, potential, and one close result which didn't go your way. There's slick defence and there's what Dirrell did which was 30% slick, 70% falling over intentionally.

    I just said taking a point from both wouldve been fair. You wanted Dirrell disqualified. :lol:

    Tell me what you see at the end of this gif and be honest

    And if you believe Dirrell lost what rounds did you give Froch?

    Froch was just as dirty if not dirtier than Dirrell. If Dirrell had a point deduction, Froch should have won also. Especially when the ref warned Froch about hitting after a break, and within 10 seconds he does it again, but the ref supposedly missed it which i doubt.

    Dirrell gained much more from that fight then froth did. I had dirrell winning 7-5 . Close fight, a rematch in America would be great

    C'mon, you can do better than reposting the same shitty five-second GIF from a 36-minute fight. Even when Dirrell unloaded and had some success in round 10 or 11 he still finished off by holding. Yeah, Froch threw some rabbit punches. I'm not defending that. Some were born from frustration, but that doesn't make them legal. Unfortunately for Dirrell though even the ref was sick of his bull**** and just wanted to see a fight. Even after he'd been warned God knows how many times, he still acted like a petulant and spoiled infant when he had a point deducted for doing EXACTLY WHAT HE'D BEEN DOING EVERY ROUND PREVIOUSLY: HOLDING. It's his negative, spoiling and on occasion downright illegal tactics which lost him that fight. Making the opponent miss is one thing when you're returning fire, but when all you're doing is 'slipping' to the floor or holding on for dear life or turning your back and running away, that's never gonna win you rounds.

    If your boy had engaged more decisively and more positively he would likely have won a UD, going on the glimpses of potential he showed, but then again if he'd committed himself more perhaps he'd just have left himself open to being hit more, and I think that was his problem. I really think he doubts his own ability to take a punch, because he fought like a man scared for large parts of the fight.

    But hey; show us some more GIFs.

    The guy is a wasted talent to be honest. I had him winning 7 rounds to Frochs 5.
