    Now this is funny since you all but ignore the data I input here when it doesn't coincide with your rooting interested, I know it and you know it.

    By definition, this makes you a bigot.

    We have had plenty of debate around here, and Mcvey always is the one to attempt personal insults first, mostly likely because I know far more on the subject material. The examples are numerous. would you like to see them? I know who loses their cool first.

    When a person is out of ideas, ammunition or losses his/her poise, they go negative. That is who you are McVey.

    I went to bed without even checking the points decision. The commentary team assumed Dirrell had won it.

    On one hand you say Froch landing nothing at all.
    On the other hand you say that Dirrell just ran ,clinched and flopped around for a large part of the fight.

    Despite Dirrels antics I thought he won by making froch miss every time and landing an occasional blow himself..

    You can't fight like that and win world title fights. Defend them maybe.

    I totally see your point. but I think Dirrell was the most talented boxer in the ring. He definately got infected by the Floyd's Virus. the problem is that doesn't look good for big guys. At momments I felt like smacking Dirrell myself for the stupid **** he was doing. He hurt Froch a couple of times and didn't even realized it. He was running into Froch for no reason. A step back to get the correct distance and he could have take Froch out of there. It was a mix of inexperience and "Floyd is my idol syndrome". Dirrell wasn't ready for such a tournament and it showed. I hope he and his corner learn from this experience. I AM TOTALLY CONVINCED HE COULD HAVE KO FROCH. And I am not even a Dirrell fan. I think if Dirrell can stay focus he should have a great career. Forget about the "0". Many boxers have made most of their money after losing their undefeated status.

    Go watch the Euro song contest if you want something "POSITIVE" you *****.

    Dirrell won the fight, he landed more and better punches. That's all there is to it.

    I understand why you analyzed the fight the way you did. You wanted Froch to do well, and he really didn't do it. Hence you gave every one of 4 categories you mentioned to Dirrell. But you are only looking at it from Froch perspective. Let's actually analyze this from both sides. 1. Clean punching. Yes, when Dirrell engaged, he landed more clean punches, no doubt about it. But this was so rare, and a so few rounds. And it's not like Froch did not connect at all. For a 12 round fight, there was so few clean punches landed, you can't really award this category to anybody. Maybe a slight edge to Dirrell in more rounds, but again only a few rounds. 2. Effective aggressiveness. You made the case for Froch not being too effective, and I agree. But compare that to Dirrell. He had none of aggressiveness at all. No matter how poorly you think Froch did here, he easily gets a huge edge, because his opponent did nothing at all. 3. Defense goes to Dirrell, as you said. 4. Ring generalship. Here your analysis are way off. By your logic, if one fighter runs away all fight, he wins this category. No way! Running away, falling down, holding all night is not ring generalship. This is exactly the opposite of that. You just can't give this category to Dirrell. Froch gets this one easily.

    So, if you look at these categories it's about even. I agree with a point deduction completely, so Froch getting a split decision actually makes sense. No, not a pretty decision, not he did not look good, but he did deserve a narrow edge on this one.

    Dre' won this fight. How are you going to take a point away from him but "warn" Froch six times for hitting behind the head, throwing him down, hitting on the break? Look, Froch is a decent guy, but Andre outboxed him and I think the general public realizes this, so while it won't do him any good in the tourney pointswise, I think Andre will gain a lot of respect from his performance. Beating Abraham is another story, but it should be interesting.

    ****ing disgraceful decison. I had £200 on dirrell to win on live betting, i placed it in round 3 and dirrells odds were 7.00. to frochs 1.44 . at the end of the fight before the decison was announced the odds were dirrel 1.16 to froch's 8.00. so who do you think the bookmakers thought had won?

    yeah dirrell ran, but fought the perfect counterpunchers fight. How froch can look at himself in the mirror and say he honestly won that fight shows what a tosser he is becoming. maybe now that calzaghe is out of strictly come dancing, he will get bored and come out of retirement and humiliate froch.
