Dirrell is very talented but lacks the bottle(heart) to succeed at the highest level. You can't train heart. If you don't have it you simply don't have it. Anyway, why is he fighting again? I thought he had some minor brain damage.
Dirrell kept dropping to his knees, complaining to the ref and constantly clinched . . . how the hell does that win a fight? I scored the dirrell - Froch fight 115-113 which means it was a close fight not a robbery. without the point deduction its a draw. whats wrong with that?
This...^ If he wants it back, he needs to earn it. He doesn't deserve a shot a Bute just yet. He needs to fight a decent opponent and show that he's not a coward and that he is a skilled warrior. Until he does that, the above is how I feel about it...
Good post from a neutral observer. I'd add to that one point that is frequently overlooked when discussing the judging of this fight, and that is the number of body shots Froch landed up close and which are conveniently ignored in arguments over who landed the most punches. It was a dreadful fight and only one man was to blame for that. Put simply,in a close fight(and it WAS a close fight) you are never going to get the decision if you constantly hold,***** to the referee, fall down several times without being hit, and run like the wind for most of the fight. I was at the fight and could clearly see Dirrell's promoter frantically imploring the corner to get Dirrell to 'do more'. He knew Dirrell was blowing his chance. ALL the ringside journalists had Froch winning including the respected Ring Magazine and Boxing News. No one thought the decision was controversial at the time. It was only later once the Dirrell team started complaining about it that everyone on here started jumping on the bandwagon.
Tell me about it...Some ***s would even make up false rumors about him..The amount of hate coming from these ***gots are unreal!:verysad
atsch Just because you believe doesnt make it a fact! Some of you fans are so picky...I bet you think Kessler injury is legit dont you???:-(
dirrell is the most talented fighter at 168 right now, Ward is a close 2nd. I feel dirrell should have a comeback fight/ tune up bout this summer and then take on a top 5 SMW in oct/nov With his skills alone he will be on the scene of 168 and 175 for years to come. He progressed alot from the froch fight to the AA fight. Now he will progress from the AA fight to whoever he fights next and will win over alot of fans. Just wait...The next 2-3 years will be very bright for both Andres
You'll never get these bias fans to admit that. Instead of actually look at the fight from a neutral stance...They'll rather rag on Dirrell and just totally overlook the fouls that Froch committed.atsch
Please show us the clip of some of the body shots Froch was landing. Post your scorecard. No they didnt. I found several boxing sites and bloggers who had Dirrell winning the fight. Ring Magazine even had an article claiming the ref and the judges had to bend the rules to award Froch the fight.
YOu are a fool. Nobody with a brain could really believe Froch landed more more punches. He landed 5 power shots the entire fight at the most. Post your scorecard. Right now you are talking alot of nonsense. Post wht rounds you think Froch won and I'll post those rounds and prove to you you are wrong, like I've done to so many posters so many times with this fight.
So boxing from the outside is now the same as running? And this is coming from a David Haye fan. For cowardly Brit of little character to question a fighters heart while constantly lying and embellishing just to degrade that fighter is the absolute height of stupidity.
If you scored the fight, post your scorecard. As for your opinion overall, you claiming that Dirrel was knocked down and didnt slip in the Abraham fight shows its pretty worthless.
I've posted them many times before. Post a credible non-cowardly scorecard I'll go to the trouble of finding them again.
