    He already did.

    I was there, and Carl got the hometown nod.

    It is amazing how people choose the alternate reality instead of acknowledging what actually happened if it doesn't suit their wishes and agendas.

    Anyone disputing the robbery is clearly biased. Froch was outlanded in every single round.

    Yeah he got robbed and viciously. Biased fools score body language and style not actual landed punches.

    Dirrell won. But 2 of the judges were so disgusted while they had to watch him round and hold too much so they just scored it for Froch. Who were the 3 on that panel?

    Is that why Ward always wants to fight at home?Also why after multiple displays of incompetence is Jack Reiss still being allowed to ref fights that involve dirty tactics? Does he know something we don't?

    I thought Dirrell won and feel he could have taken the fight to Froch more though. It seemed like a hometown decision.- Froch is one of my favourite fighters of the last few years but Dirrell made him look so slow that night. If Dirrell had half of Froch's heart he could have been great.

    With different judges he could have won.

    If he was a bit more experienced he could have won.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but none of the judges were from England. Old azz Guido Cavalleri was one judge I think.

    I think many fans did that with Ward against Froch. I think Ward won, but many rounds were close and I felt it was a close fight, but I think many fans look at composure

    Round 4 Dirrell 10-9, Very Close, Dirrell's combos and jabs to the body wins first half Froch closes the gap late but its not enough.
    Round 5 Dirrell 10-9, Froch landed little Dirrell won foul filled round with his jab and counters.
    Round 6 Froch 10-9, Close, Froch very aggressive, Dirrell landing sharp counters, Froch landing thudding shots, better inside work from Carl.
    Round 7 Froch 10-9, Ugly round, Dirrell holding too much, Froch mauled him for majority of round.
    Round 8 Froch 10-9, Dirrell countering well in first half, Carl takes over roughhouses and lands monster left hook on Andre.
    Round 9 Dirrell 10-9, Close Dirrell landed the better cleaner shots for the first half, Froch came on strong but not enough.
    Round 10 9-9 Even, Dirrell pressured by Froch landing better counters, point deducted for holding from Dirrell, Dirrell badly rocks Froch late.
    Round 11 Dirrell 10-9, Dirrell lands cleaner shots, slipping most of Froch's offense, Carl does some body work but not enough.
    Round 12 Froch 10-9, Very Close, both men landing a similar number of jabs, Froch gets him on the ropes and works the body edging the round.

    Now, that is some horrible, horrible scoring. What's your personal and secret scoring criteria ? Froch gets extra points for taking clean shots off the head, face and body ???

    That's the only true way any half sensible fan could ever give froch more than 2 clearly won rounds and for the scoring to be remotely close every single round not completely dominanted by dirrel would be given to froch.

    Now I have to watch froch getting waxed again just to point out how horrific your scoring is. Maybe if you tell me the scoring criteria you're using, that could make it more believable to the masses
