    #1 - Joe Frazier didn't stand and trade with opponents? Right. :lol:
    #2 - How can I name punches landed in the fight ****-gobbler. Do you have downs or something?
    #3 - He was piling forward looking to close the gap and have a real fight. Dirrell got on his bike and practically **** his pants anytime Froch got within about 2 feet of him. If Dirrell stopped running he would have got his glass-mandible shattered everywhere.

    Correct. Not one single ringside journalist had Dirrell doing enough to win. This bollocks about being 'robbed' has mushroomed from small beginnings after American Showtime commentaters thought Dirrell won by a small margin in a close, very difficult to score fight. This was immediately picked up on by (mainly) Americans watching at home on the telly most of whom have no idea how to score a fight and have to rely on others for their opinions rather than forming their own.

    So from Showtime originally thinking that Dirrell should have won a close decision the bandwagon started up with hundreds jumping aboard. Fast forward to present day and we now regularly see remarks about Dirrell being 'robbed', how he won the fight by 'a mile', and I've even seen one which stated that Dirrell 'destroyed' Froch:patsch

    Had Dirrell been correctly ajudged to have been 'knocked down' every time he took a knee when the pressure was on Froch would have won a landside decision.

    NB I was at the fight and in the later rounds could clearly see a very agitated Gary Shaw IMPORING Dirrell's corner to get him to 'do more'. On several occasions Shaw left his seat and ran round towards Dirrell's corner shouting 'he needs to do more, he needs to do more'

    Dirrell might come from Michigan but he sure ain't no 'warrior'. He stunk the joint out v Froch. No wonder HBO didn't want any part of him. He has undoubted talent, but is utter shite to watch and 'fights' as if he's absolutely petrified, which isn't a good sign for any top flight boxer

    Watching that clip again, just shows how poor Abramham was (or how much better Dirrell was). Froch was chasing him all over the ring looking to do damage, same can't be said about AA. Love Froch's analysis at the end!

    I still don't get how, despite the point deduction, all three judges scored the 10th for Dirrell. And some people call it a fix??? :patsch

    the point deduction is tallied after the score.

    Im referring to Ali you moron. :lol:
    If there was a particular punch that you think hurt Dirrell or was flashy, name them, I can name several combinations that Dirrell landed.

    Funny none of the Froch fans can.
    Glass jaw shattered? :lol::lol: Is that why the only one who was hurt in the fight *** was Froch.

    "piling forward" I dont know limey slang, but does that mean stumbling forward like a moron getting countered in his face every time he threw a wide looping incoordinated punch?

    Really post your proof. I heard that everyone had the fight for Froch yet the USA today had Dirrell winning heavily. I'd like to see these so called journalists score cards

    REally I think its a lie froch ***s invented.
