    Agreed but should Dirrell have been deducted points for continuously ducking below the belt line? Serious question.

    Bottom line is froch doesn't Have and history of fighting dirty.

    Doesn't fight in his home town to help shield this so called dirtiness.

    Does fight in other countries and hasn't been docked points as such.

    Respect to the thread starter but using one example to illustrate a fighter is dirty is not providing the kind of evidence needed for such claims.

    Dirrell is obviously ducking below the waistline in a desperate attempt to avoid being punished. Unless you are one of the 3 men in the ring how the hell can you ascertain if froch is using force to keep Dirrells head there. It could quite easy be the other scenario in that Dirrell finds himself out of position and in trouble so being the ***** he is he puts his head in this position knowing the fight will be pulled up.. He does it all the time when the going gets tough. Turns his head etc etc. Basically he is a fighter who anyone could look dirty against such is his attitude.

    So no. Froch is not a dirty fighter due to this.

    Lets all watch the Froch fans expose themselves as the hypocrites they are. I don't think he should have been DQ'ed, neither should Ward, theres a good case both should have been docked points

    What a load of bull****, firstly the majority of the rabbit punches were in the clinches/close range when there wasn't any dipping, completely blatant foul. He did it time and again, was warned at 1 point, kept doing it knowing he wouldn't get docked point in his home town

    Nowhere in the rulebook does it say, 'you can punch someone in the back of the head if they duck low/turn away', it isn't in the rule book, your just making bull**** up to suit your bias

    Would you also agree that it is nowhere in the rule book that you should turn your head and duck out of range at all costs?

    Doesn't the rule book dictate a fighter should defend themselves at all times? And that turning your back or head is a big no no. Why? Cos accidents can and do happen.

    Don't get me wrong here I am not defending froch for rabbit punching one bit, however, I do think it is grasping at straws by trying to illustrate him as a dirty fighter just cos of the Dirrell fight.

    What will be interesting is if he meats ward in the final. Froch has already gone on record stating he wont tolerate any dirty tactics and will give it back. I see this as one potentially dirty fight
