dirrell landed over 85 total.And like you say quite a few snappy shots. Froch around 67, but nearly 40 of those were jabs and he landed maybe half a dozen snappy shots at a push.

Two drawn rounds the first round I can't see any reason to give to either, has to be a draw. Rnd 8 Is close, Froch throws a few more, Dirrell lands one extra and the cleaner punches. Round 12 is up for debate also. so if you score the 8th to Froch and the 12 to Froch then It would be a draw. Froch threw alot of Jabs as he came forward that never seemed to have a chance of getting there, almost seemed like they were for the judges. If your coming forward and throwing jabs that are falling half a yard short you can't score him the round on aggression, he needs to be more effective, single punch, missing by alot aggression doesnt count. Dirrell never wasted a punch, he fought in bursts but was efficient. Having watched it again there is no way you can call it a robbery. Alot of close rounds which could be difficuilt to score on the night, add in Frochs aggression(so they say), Dirrells holding(which didnt seem as bad the second time round, and not as bad as Frochs antics at times), the home crowd cheering everything even though most of what was being cheered was wild punches being missed, then its clear that all the close rounds went Frochs way instead of being called draws or the couple that I gave to Dirrell(12th for example) ps trying to work out what connected and what didnt was difficuilt. Im not even sure they stats would even sound correct, but I gave it a shot never the less.
Take a look at your own shortcomings. Do you know the meaning of "effective aggression."? Do you know which fighter was making the fight. Do you know which fight was the "BOSS" by the end of the fight. This is not amateur boxing. Punch stats mean nothing if one is not effective. Bottom line. I am old school. Just tell me who was the Boss at the end of the fight.
I had it 9-2-1 even for Dirrell. The score could have arguably been even wider. Cuz Dirrell won the round that was even clearly only that ****** ref deducted a point. Ok I dont have a problem with deducting a point from Dirrell,if the ref would have deductued Froch for hitting Dirrell repeatedly behind the head. The only round Froch won was not cuz he did anything special it was cuz Dirrell just didnt do much,or was running more than fighting. Even if you dont like his style fine thats your preferance,but he Outlanded Froch at least 2to 1 and hurt him at least once maybe even twice.
Good post but the 1 thing i disagree with you is you give Froch round 2. Watch that round again. Thats the same round that Froch was reaching a very slow left hook that Dirrell duck his head back and quickly counter with 2 quick left hooks.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE EFFORT!!!!!:good:good I don't think WE WILL EVER SEE THE "OFFICIAL" PUNCH STAT!!!!!!:-( Organizers have no balls whatsoever to release the numbers: cause it will show how USELESS CARL CROTCH IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!deal
1) Who is "The Boss" at the end of the fight is utterly meaningless when you use round based scoring. If you whip the guys ass for the last five rounds you are unquestionably the boss at the end, but that doesn't mean you win unless you knocked him down. 2) Neither fighter was "The Boss" at the end of the fight. They both looked to be in fine shape and neither was particularly busted up. 3) Dirrell was stronger in the last rounds than Froch, particularly 10, 11, and the early part of the 12th, so if anyone was "The Boss" at the end of hte fight he was. 4) What a dumb ****ing way to determine the winner of a fight.
Sounds like you were suprised then. It seems to me that Froch is seen to do better when people pay more attention, but Dirrell does better on a superficial showing. Obviously you still scored it for Dirrell but note how close lots of the rounds were. In my view, the fight contained so little positivity that any score from 7-5 Froch to 8-4 Dirrell can be legitimately defended. I'm starting to think that the people screaming robbery and saying that Dirrell 'clearly' won (a) didn't score the fight as they were watching and (b) probably weren't watching all that closely.
I still feel it was a poor decision, but having went through it like I did I can see there was a few rounds open to interpretation that previously I had just given as a certain Dirrell round. One thing I will say is Froch landed more than I thought, but alot of what he landed was with the jab or glancing blow, Froch landed two really bigpunches and one snappy jab throughout the whole fight, whereas Dirrell who out landed Froch also landed over a dozen big shots with snap.
Yeah those two hooks were sweet, and I think the first time I scored the fight I gave it to Dirrell. Perhaps having given the fight to Dirrell by a wide margin the first time around I was looking for reasons to score rounds for Froch to see If I can understand why he got the decision.
