    You couldn't even give Carl rounds on aggression. But even if you were generous, he won three rounds at the most.

    Of course Andre didn't want to engage. That wasn't his game plan. He lured Carl in and then made him miss. It was like watching Herol Graham at times. Carl couldn't land hardly anything. It's not even an exaggeration to say that on average, Carl didn't land one clean shot per round.

    Yea danny garcia won but froch lost.

    if froch were american and dirrell non american then you'd say dirrell ran the entire fight and you cant win a fight running.

    This is boxing not running, any idiot can land a potshot and run away for the rest of the round and it litrerally is running.

    At some point you have to draw the line and mark a guy down for running like they did pederson.

    And quite right because if boxers got decisions for doing **** like that everyone would do the same and there would be no contact in fights.

    Try and watch it mate, then let me know what you think. I was like you, just going off of my memory. But having just watched it, it was a lot worse than I thought.

    Yes.

    I've just watched it again, with my mouth wide open.

    I was disgusted.

    Froch was just getting ready to go upside Dirrell's head with his big Polish #%&*!

    Definitely a clear Dirrell win, a lot of the rounds were pretty close but its hard to give Froch more than 4

    Anybody that calls that running, has no appreciation for the sport.

    He wasn't dancing, trying not to engage at all, running backwards or trying to fight like Oscar did against Tito for the final rounds, when he ran down the clock.

    He was beating him to the punch, throwing combinations, countering him, doubling the jab etc.

    Go and watch the fight, then come back.

    I think three would have been generous.

    There is nothing stated in the Queensbury rules that penalizes 'running'. It doesn't matter which direction a guy is going in and how fast, if they are landing more punches and doing the more effective work they are winning the fight.

    And the last time I checked Sheffield was in the UK

    Peterson was moving, but not landing much. In several "wash" rounds, Garcia got the round for moving forward. That's somewhat debatable, but not outageous.

    Dirrell/Froch was different. Froch wasn't landing at all. And Dirrell landed numerous, clean, hard punches--head snapping power punches. See round 10, where Froch is all wobbly legged, falling back on the ropes as Dirrell lines him up with power punches.

    I'm not making this up, go ahead and watch. Here it is:

    Go to 2:30.

    No robbery.

    I believe the press row scorers all scored it for Froch to and one had a draw.

    But I won't be watching it again. I like boxing not fencing.

    That was an easy win for Dirrell, it wasn't even close. The only people who think otherwise are people who don't like Dirrell or his style.

    Press row scores -- otherwise known as writers for the Nottingham Times.

    Was obviously a robbery, which is exactly why "Super Hans" is afraid to watch it.
