    Subtract two points for home field advantage

    and

    Subtract two points for you have to take a mans belt as the challenger you cant expect to coast to a title

    And you have 115-112 for Froch

    Its the prestige of being a champion.

    You'd agree if you ever became one I bet


    *EDIT* In a close fight the edge goes to the champion. Does that make sense?

    disagree with your scoring


    i had it 114-113 to dirrell on pure boxing ability but i am glad froch won and would have given him the fight

    running
    play acting
    pretending injuries
    constantly cheating

    dirrell did not deserve the win, i will never ever watch another fight of dirrells because of the way he fought and behaved. an utter coward

    If Dirrell wasn't complaining to the referee the whole fight (and let him do his job) I think it would have been a different ending

    I had the exact same score but shifted a few rounds in there.

    Personally I can't see how Froch won this fight.

    I just don't think Froch landed the clean shots. Big Bill is a legend by the way

    No it doesn't make sense. Just score the rounds and see what comes out, nobody needs to be worrying about anything else but scoring the rounds based on the criteria laid out for the judges.

    Can you name any title winning decision, where the eventual winner showed as little fighting desire as Dirrell?

    It's a ****ing fight. A disgraceful performance like that, should have been punished, not awarded.

    If I'm watching a fight and the round ends fairly even in my estimation I'm probably giving it to the champion.

    I am glad Dirrell got royally screwed by the judges. AA is going to shatter that glass jaw.
