Dirrell vs Froch: (effective) aggression? A coin-gathering example!

When they both committed to being offensive Froch was NOT as effective as Dirrell.

There is no doubt about this.

However, boxing is not only about efficiency. Compare it with people collecting lost money from the street (just to take an example..).. Froch was a guy who bend down and attempted to pick up money about 50 times per round. What did he get to show for it? Well, most of the time he found only a stone or some old metal. Some times he found some 5 and 10 cent coins, and at other times did he find 25 cent coins and more rarely 50 cent coins. Only like once did he find a one dollar bill.

Dirrell, on the other hand bend down to look for money about 10 times per round. Often he found nothing, but more often than Froch did he actually find real coins. He found some 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent coins and he also found about 3 or 4 one dollar bills.

When both went to the bank and had their money tallied up they were told that Froch had collected 44 dollars. Dirrell had collected 42 dollars.

This means that Dirrell was far far more efficient than Froch. In fact Dirrell found on average 35 cents EACH time he bend down to look. Froch on the other hand only found an average of 7 cents every time he bend down to look.

Froch collected more although he found nothing most of the time and Dirrell was far far far more effective.

 

If that's what you got out of it then good luck to you. :good

 

That depends. If you only count clean spectacular punches (of the 50 cent / one dollar-kind) then he hardly landed any.
