    I gave it to Dirrell and was actually sure he'd won it, then they announced the scores and I was happy cus I'm English but surprised none the less

    It was close so a decision either way should not affect either fighters credibility. IMO it no one got the better of the other fighter - it was as good as a draw

    Depends what you like. If you have an appreciation for defense as well as clean punches landed than dirrell won. He pretty much landed all the clean effective power shots upstairs.

    If you care more about action than he lost. I know this is a BS way to think about boxing but the truth is, there are alot of fans who can care less about scoring criteria.

    Myself, I can care less about how a fight looks. I only care about the clean effective punches landed so dirrell won IMO.

    Too bad the Italian Judge thought dirrell lost the 11th (the most decisive dirrell round) which gave froch the one point win on one card. That guy is currupted in some fashion or he is a complete idiot. FYI I highly doubt that guy is an idiot.

    Regardless of what anyone believes, Not one person who believes froch won gave him the 11th round. That round gave froch the win. There was some BS going on that night.

    Any one who can watch that fight objectively knows that Dirrell won that ****.

    if i ask you, hey, who won between Frotch and Dirrell, and you say "Cobra'. . . well, thats where i cut off the conversation and walk away because you dont know **** about anything.

    I always find it funny when people say Dirrell ran, etc. and therefore didn't deserve the win.

    Okay, but what did Froch do to deserve the win based on the scoring criteria?

    To me without a doubt clean, effective punching is the number one criteria which favored Dirrell and it's not like Froch exactly commanded the other criteria either (effective aggression, ring generalship, and defense).

    If boxing was the art of hitting air 3 feet in front of your opponent, then Frotch is an all time great based off that fight alone :lol:

    I scored it for Froch

    When Dirrell choose to fight he did great the problem was he didn't choose to do it often enough
