I agree clear Direll Decision but not a robbery. I had 8-4 Dirrell and he did do a lot of running which is frowned upon by judges not to mention judges being influenced by the crowd as and giving way too much credit for ineffective agression just because it's agression and he's trying to make it a dog fight...which a lot of judges do give too much credit for. bottom line is clean effective punching wins and froch barely landed aclean effective punch
I think the judges were taken by Froch's clean effective punches to the back of the head while clinching...For those who think Dirrell won just because Froch couldn't land any punches during exchanges, Froch had a very effective campaign of hitting on breaks and after the bell, thoroughly out-classed Dirrell here... And the ref was right to deduct a point from Dirrell for getting punched in the back of the head, he kept getting hit on breaks too, so he could have lost more... I think people get thrown by Froch's style of blocking punches with his face...
Wrong. Only one journalist had it to Dirrell in press row and that was Ronald Mcintosh I believe. Sat press for this one and there is no way Dirrell won. He should take a leaf out of George Groves book and run whilst also throwing shots that hit. Also hilarious how that video shows how nearly all of Dirrell's shots missed and that he wanted to hug Froch all night.
well if you watch that clip you will think it was a tight fight, the fight was dirrels for the taking but he never took it.. Fact... He spoiled that fight with negative tactics. you watch one sided clips like that then you will only get one winner.
i was so glad that froch got that decision, there's no room in this sport for ***** fighters that run and fall down, froch is a warrior that will go toe to toe with any fighter, where as dirrell fought like a 13 year old girl, fair play if he had bashed him up and out boxed him big time, but he did'nt he made a mockery of the opening round of the super six and has since shown his form by faking injuries so he did not fight ward, disgrace to the sport
This is why i had it closer than alot of other people, theres no way Dirrel won this by Six rounds i mean WTF . atsch Dirrells negative tactics again i mean for the most skilled middleweight in the world he needs to man up and that is his problem.
Wait so you mean Froch was actually hitting Dirrel in this fight too? Cuz the first video only showed Dirrel hitting Froch :roll:
