You do not earn titles by running

you dont defend titles wrestling in boxing!

 

you dont defend them by hitting air or getting countered either.

 

dirrell reminded me of naz on his negative nights.

very similar to naz in style.

doesn't have naz's offensive gifts though.

 

And Froch didn't even get a serious warning for any, yet Dirrell was being warned like he was the one throwing combinations to the back of the head and body slamming.

I don't know if you didn't notice but he landed an intentional punch to the back of the head before body slamming him and was being cheered for it by the drunken no hopers in the crowd.

 

edit

 

Yup. Dirrell held and ran but still landed more.

 

I agree, I agree.

Pt deduction for running.Ref can pull derril up whoa and make a running motion and take a pt off.

 

If guys that run about like that are going to be world champions then the sport is dead. I love quick, skillful defensive boxing (like the last 2 rounds from Dirrell), but why did he not nail Froch earlier. He ran too much. He grabbed too much. He deserved to lose.

 

Froch and the referee reminded me of Ricky Hatton and the legal headbutts, elbows, low blows, holding at will, shoving, rabbit punches and combinations to the back of the head Hatton needed to use to go life and death with a past it, one year inactive for serious injuries and old Kostya Tszyu. Believe it or not the fight was also a DRAW despite all that circus going in the 12th and Hatton was immediately being compared with Sonny Liston in British tabloids hours later.

And Hatton fans had the nerve to question the referee's decision going in the Mayweather fight. Hey, they got used to circus shows over there.

 

He did land earlier. He landed the only meaningful punches in the whole ****ing fight!

 

Yes i agree froch was dirty at times however as i posted in another thread, if your opponenet is continually running and cliching you when trying to trade shots then i think most fighters would get pissed off!!
Dont get me wrong i think defensive fighters can be great to watch however dirrell tonight did too much running and not enough punching in my book.
Froch hardly hit im ill agree..he did however have him on shaky legs what twice.

 

I know its amazing and i like Hatton but wow he held a lot.. i am really discusted by this fight this tournament is supposed to be finding out who is best not who can get more favors from the ref... i thought it was kind of close.. but really what exactly did frosh do to win this? i wish they had compubox he was prob outlanded 2-1 even in power shots in most rounds.

 

I added the bold print. I'm just glad somebody can actually spell 'loser'. It drives me nuts that most comments mix up looser with loser.

 

This. Im also disappointed at the outcome of the fight. Dirrell couldve done better. Even though I like Froch, im not satisfied with the outcome
