Froch vs. Dirrel

Hate him or not Froch does put on entertaining fights(Pascal,Taylor). The only one that stunk up the place was Dirrell.

 

Philla, please post your scorecard...

Froch lost rounds 1-6...and 10 and 11..

 

how could froch lose round 10 when dirrel had a point deducted? it was a 9-9 round for all three judges. no way did dirrel win 8 rounds to 4.

 

9-9 round...Dirrell out-landed Froch and also had him hurt

 

froch didnt win that fight, i hope kessler knocks him through the ropes

 

The two reports on the fight I read in Boxing News and The Ring magazine both had Froch a close winner, It was one of those fights where opinions differ

 

Here's mine....

1........ Dirrell 10-9
2........ Even 10-10
3........ Froch 10-9
4........ Dirrell 10-9
5........ Froch 10-9
6........ Froch 10-9
7........ Froch 10-9
8........ Froch 10-9
9........ Froch 10-9
10...... Even 9-9
11...... Dirrell 10-9
12...... Dirrell 10-9

6 rounds Froch, 4 rounds Dirrell, 2 even. 115-113 Froch.

That's a really tough fight to score, because neither fighter got hurt very often, and a lot of the fight was spent in the clinch. I can definitely see all three of the judges scores as respectable. If I was judging the fight as a whole, I would have it about even, but Froch was doing enough to take rounds, and they add up.

If you want the annotated version with reasons why I scored each round that way, let me know. It's too long to post again lol.
