Froch vs Dirrell controversy thread

Why are you trying to make a controversy out of this - it's absolutely infuriating.

It was a close fight and I had Froch a point ahead at the end.

 

I realised that a lot of people never give even 10/10 rounds. this in most cases causes the controvecy becuz the judges do give even rounds. e.g round 1 neither did anything except flick there jab so in my eyes neither won that round

 

See if Dirrel fans were honest, and said this scorecard, there would be a lot less arguing, I can't see how you can score round 1 anything but a draw, so that would change the fight to a draw via your card, and personally I feel froch took a lot of those close rounds, but it was so close, any suggestion of a robbery is preposterous.

My anger comes from how Dirrell ruined what could have been a great fight, and in the process has given UFC fans more cause to sstate boxing is dying.

 

I had Dirrell winning by 2 rounds but theres no way I'm watching it again to check. I had it even after 4 rounds and even again after 8 rounds.

With a little more effort I think Dirrell could have swept those first 4 rounds beyond any dispute, the fact he didn't cost him the fight IMHO.

 

that says it all really..

 

Dirrell thinks this is touch boxing.He looked like a great athlete who has been turned into a pro boxer.I think the style he displayed is exactly why people switch over to MMA in the States.American boxers are now less about fighting and more about athletic ability and speed.If he boxed that way in any other era he would have been lucky to win a more than a couple of rounds.It seems Americans are trying to change the way to judge a boxing match to suit their 'style' of modern boxing,and when other people don't whistle to their tune they cry robbery.

Bang on the money.

 

agreed.

 

One of the better score cards I've seen.. although round 1 was hard to call.. they were just feeling eachother out..

 

His postfight thoughts on the fight are extremely good.

From the scoring to the ref to Froch's post fight interview.

Good jo Dwyer.

 

Many of those votes were polled by American posters.

 

:good

 

Its now at 55% Dirrell, hardly clear cut

 

It should really be alot less though bearing in mind a good amount of them are bias nuthuggers..

 

This is why i love boxing, we can all see the same fight and still have a different outcome LOL

Dirrell has no one to blame but himself. He should know how the sport works, you cant come england with that bull**** and expect to get a decision.

I had Dirrell winning by 2 rounds, but wasnt one bit surprised that he didnt get the win. He didn't deserve it, neither did froch.

I hope dirrell learns a valuable lesson.
