both Kevin Iole and Dan Rafael think Froch beat Dirrell

on a side note I think Dan Rafael is awful at scoring fights and always seems to side with the fighters he likes rather than the fighter whom won.

He hated Calzaghe and always said whoever was fighting him would expose him and when Joe won he said that Joe took on weak opponents.

 

I'm not familiar with Rafeal but I read Kevin Iole columns!!

 

Kevin Iole comes on vegas sports radio every Wednesday to talk about fights. He doesn't know WTF he is talking about. Listeners call in and question him to the point they don't have callers any more. This man doesn't give a **** about boxing and is a genuine mma fanboy.

 

Vivek Wallace from this site, Gabriel Montoya from Max boxing and Doug Fischer from The Ring all gave Dirrell the Nod mate amnt saying like u said that there word should be taken as Gospel but I respect there opinions, But at the end of the Day opinions are like assholes everyone has one Greg Leon another American Journalist along with Lole and Rafeal gave Froch the Victory.

 

so if there are respected voices backing both fighters can everyone agree, whatever the result that there was no robbery?

 

There is all the hate in this forum because Froch is going to put cap in the Danish backstreet boy's butt

 

Only if Rafael could score fights how he scores chicken sandwiches...

 

and?

all that tells me is they dont get payed to judge fights for a reason, ugly fight......but it was clearly dirrells

 

........which has been my point all along!!!!!

It was close and could have gone either way

 

i have moved on from the fight

 

........and those who do get paid to judge the fight had Froch the winner:deal

 

Andre's excessive running cost him the fight. He did not do enough to take the title in the 12th round, Andre was too exhausted to take a crucial round. However, I will say that Froch could not have won by more than one round excluding the unfair deduction.

 

When they both committed to being offensive Froch was NOT as effective as Dirrell.

There is no doubt about this.

However, boxing is not only about efficiency. Compare it with people collecting lost money from the street (just to take an example..).. Froch was a guy who bend down and attempted to pick up money about 50 times per round. What did he get to show for it? Well, most of the time he found only a stone or some old metal. Some times he found some 5 and 10 cent coins, and at other times did he find 25 cent coins and more rarely 50 cent coins. Only like once did he find a one dollar bill.

Dirrell, on the other hand bend down to look for money about 10 times per round. Often he found nothing, but more often than Froch did he actually find real coins. He found some 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent coins and he also found about 3 or 4 one dollar bills.

When both went to the bank and had their money tallied up they were told that Froch had collected 44 dollars. Dirrell had collected 42 dollars.

This means that Dirrell was far far more efficient than Froch. In fact Dirrell found on average 35 cents EACH time he bend down to look. Froch on the other hand only found an average of 7 cents every time he bend down to look.

Froch collected more although he found nothing most of the time and Dirrell was far far far more effective.

 

All those time Froch was getting punched in the face while missing wildly must have scored him a shitload of points for effective aggression.
