Not surprisingly, your comprehension skills are even more frail than your lacking intelligence. I thought an example of bucket of honey and spoon of **** is something that even an imbecile could understand, but you proved me wrong. Let me give it another shot. I am not saying Froch is a great boxer. Or that Dirrell is poor boxer. What I am saying is that Dirrell's style of running, falling, and hugging all the time makes for unwatchable boring fights, which are disgracing a great event, and for that reason, he shouldn't be in the tournament. Hence, the spoon of **** (Dirrell's style) in the bucket of honey (super 6 tournament). Read this several times, you might be able to get it eventually.

Taylor/Abraham was boring as **** until the last 30 seconds of the 12th rounds. This is meant to settle who the best fighter at 168 is, not who the most exciting fighter at 168 is. Some styles will make for bad fights. In a 6 man round robin those are bound happen.

1. dirrell slipped...get over it. it happens. if the ref was calling a knockdown a slip then fine, get mad. but that didnt happen.

Right there I see that you do have a bias. If someone slips once I can understand. He was on canvas many times. It was rather obvious, no?

2. dirrell didnt deserve to get a point deducted. and if dirrell deserved to a get a point deducted then so did froch, period

Dirrell did not deserve point deducted for holding, even though he held all the freaking time? I think a better argument can be made that he should have been DQed. He was pathetic and held and ran all the time.

3. froch got beat to the punch all night, badly at some points.

You are given Dirrell too much credit by saying all night. He literally ran and held all night. I agreed when he did punch, he connected. But he did is so sparsely. I am not questioning his skills. Just the style, which creates extremely boring fights and does not belong on this event.

4. froch looked terrible when he had dirrell on the ropes and dirrell was making him miss and look ogrish w/ those chopping punches. even the commentators were awed at one point when dirrell made froch miss about four straight punches.

5. froch was buzzed by someone i thought didnt have the power to do it to him

6. froch was literally walking at dirrell w/ his hands almost straight down by his side at one point, and would rock his left twice below his waist before flicking his jab out there, almost telegraphing it. this will cause him to be hurt badly if he does it against a guy like aa or kess who will come right down the pipe on him.

I am not saying Froch was great. Just that Dirrell made the fight boring by running and hugging and falling all night.

7. dirrell was running...ok, fine..this is a 20 x 20 ring carl, if all you can do is stalk around like a caveman all night at least learn how to cut the ring off effectively...if this kid is too green has no business in the tourny, froch being the champ should be able to cut the ring off, right?? i mean someone as bad as dirrell can't hide forever agains the champ, right??

I am not saying Dirrell is not skilled or bad. I said he is skilled. Just that he makes for extremely boring fights, and these do not belong in this tournament. We don't need to watch Ruiz II in one of the most exciting boxing events of the decade.

8. what makes it so grating on me is the way he conducted his post fight interview. i expect the champ to conduct himself with class...enough on that point.

9. i didnt see froch do one thing in the ring that he can come away w/ as saying, "damn, that's what i wanted to do and i did it to perfection." he pressed the action. he has a big heart and a come forward style so that is to be expected, but to what end? pressing the action is a means to an end. so i ask again, to what end??

all this means is that if dirrell doesnt belong, then he can go meet froch where ever froch is gonna watch the rest of the tournament b/c froch doesnt deserve to be there either if that's the case. sorry for the rant, fellas :hi:

Like I said, I agree Froch did not look great. But he tried to make it interesting fight, while Dirrell tried (and successfully accomplished) making this a snooze fest and boring millions of people. That's why he simply does not belong here or on any TV fight. There are so many exciting fighters, why bring this guy in to bore people to death? Showtime sure missed a mark on this one.

I don't agree with all of the OP, but all in all, I wish either Bute or Dawson was in Dirrell's spot.

I know a snooze fest when I see one though. This was, thanks to the "sweet scientist" Dirrell. And by the way, it did look like MMA out there when Dirrell was constantly hugging and holding and falling on the floor.

atsch We know...Sure did Froch has been working on his take down with that killer Judo throw! Or what about his muay thia style when he would hit him in the back of the hear or hit him after the break.

Yeah you seem to forget about that while you're just singling out Dirrell...Froch was no ****ing angel dude...He's just as guilty!

This is one of the worst breakdowns I've ever read.

A judo throw is more exciting though than hugging in Greeco-Roman style wrestling, wouldn't you agree. I think we both know who made this fight boring as hell.

Look, some fights are more exciting, some fights are less exciting, everyone understand that. But Dirrell took word boring to new level. If AA-JT fight was boring as ****, then Dirrell turned his fight into actual ****. Like I said, spoon of **** in bucket of honey. Too bad.
