    Hans will always pick the UK white guy, even if it's clear as day that Dirrell schooled that **** out of him. Hans is truly a racist and has been exposed in this thread.

    Lots of comparable aspects with how Froch/Dirrell played out and is discussed among fans with how two recent highly discussed fights played out and are discussed...

    Froch : Dirrell :: Alvarez : Lara :: Garcia : Peterson

    Except Froch didn't do nearly as well as Alvarez nor quite as well as Garcia.

    Yeah, the fight was honestly a disgusting ass robbery.

    I like Froch too. He's a ****ing warrior, the amount of damage he received in the Groves fight only to come back and knock him out and do the same thing the next fight is just awe inspiring.

    But let's be real. Froch did absolutely NOTHING in that fight. It was not close at all. At one time, I thought Dirrel was gonna knock Froch out.. he was certainly close to doing so.

    The Froch - Dirrell robbery was probably more profitable. Imagine were Frochs career would have went if Dirrell left Nottingham with his belt.

    This is the fight that made me hate Froch (I've since softened on him). He was utterly outclassed in this fight and it was one of the worst robberies I've ever seen and then he starts going on in the post fight interview about how he whooped Dirrell etc etc. :fire

    That's the difference from British fans and American fans.

    We admit AD got robbed. We even laugh at "British stoppages" as much as the rest of the world.

    A bigger robbery was FMJ vs Castillo.
    To this day, most Americans won't admit FMJ clearly lost that fight.
