Froch vs Dirrell controversy thread

the ref and the three judges - where were they from? I'm asking genuinely - it seemed the ref wasn't English or American. What about the judges?

 

Except he didn't. Bad luck there.

 

wow, i used to respect the classic section but its becoming as bad as the general forum. childish

 

I reckon American boxers should avoid fighting in Britain.I`m pretty sure Dirrel won`t want to fight here again.Fighters like Froch want opponents to fight toe to toe like Benn did and Hatton,90% British fighters have major problems with classy fighters.But toe to toe boxing is more exciting to watch than flitting about throwing a sweet left hook and a right now and then.

 

:good

 

There is no way that froch landed 50 punches to dirrells face the whole fight. Showtime knew what they were doing by not putting any punchstats up there. He threw at air. When dirrell hit froch, you saw his head snap back and you didn't have to guess if dirrell hit froch like you had to see if froch hit dirrell. Froch has no honor to go with that will he gots. Had to fight dirty once he saw he couldn't do anything but get tagged by dirrell and dirrell had froch wobbling twice. That commentating was disgusting and so was the judging and refing.

This will discourage fighters to ever fight in an opponents hometown. THERE IS NO WAY DIRRELL LOST SEVEN ROUNDS PERIOD.

 

Dirrell's tactics disgusted me, the way he turned his back and went on his knees...he deserved to be punched in the back of the head.
He has exceptionally fast hands, but I don't think much of his footwork.
He kept circling right and was begging for a left hook.

Froch just proved that he is a limited fighter with great heart, chin and good power.

I think that Direll won the fight but I dont think that the decision was a robbery.
115-112 was OTT though.

 

Let's keep this going. Right now 3 out of 4 people thought Dirrell won.

 

Indeed, you americans are more biased than I thought.

 

I thought Dirrell landed the better punches but blew the fight because of holding and lack of punching. A lot of the Rds were close and I was thinking a Draw because Dirrel closed strong and the comentors had me believing Froch was behind. The tv comentors were so biased that I was wondering what fight they were watching. Dirrel was not as impressive as I thought he could be but he is still young. I also get turned off by complaining to the Ref by Dirrell and Froch was the aggressor. I think it was Dirrels fight to take and he did not but Froch was dilusional indeed if he thinks it was a landslide...the fight could have gone either way without an arguement from me.

 

Dirrell clearly won, you could see on Froch's and Mick Henneseys faces when the final bell went that they too thought Dirrell had won. It was almost embaressing when they gave the fight to Froch

 

Dirrell blew it.
Had he fired as many shots in the mid rounds as he did in the 10th and 11th he would have won esaily.
I cant believe people cant see this..
yes froch was bad BUT he went looking for dirrell from round 3-10...dirrell tried to survive, hence the clinching and running.

 

But but but Dirrell is an american therefore he shoulda won!

:| etc etc etc.

 

Dirrell

 

Even if Dirrel won, he gets no respect from me at all. He's said some nasty things about european boxers in general that i cant forgive him for, despite his silky skills and blatent talent. I hope Abraham beats him, and think he may just do that.
