    Froch actually landed a fair number of punches. watch it again without the sound or the inherit bias. :deal

    i agree with u black, i was thinking what the hell john rawling watching & instantly knew Dirrell tactics were negative ala curt stevens fight. I remeber John Rawling anticpating a "fight" to break out after a feel out....i was like...nah! expect this the whole fight.

    John Rawling for me & most british commentaters (esp jim watt) are lame.

    PBF vs ODLH. Every time Oscar hit the block the crowd cheered as if he actually landed a clear shot. But I guess it is a bad example because it was the same at the ringside. :) Watching that fight on TV with the sound off though makes a difference.

    I watched the fight with British commentary. I thought Dirrell won. So did the commentators.

    Most people just don't get it. It is completely different ring side then watching on t.v. You can make the argument that you actually see more watching on t.v., that isn't the reality for the judges.

    I thought Dirrell won 115-113, but I also thought the commentary was very biased in favor of Dirrell. It sickened me slightly. They kept calling out Froch for trying to make a fight of it and throwing all he could when Dirrell was bending down in front of him, but never called out Dirrell for fighting scared, running and excessively clinching.
