An establish Veteran Champion squeaked out a 12 round Split Decision Victory (IN HIS BACK-"F**KING-YARD) against a Kid in his 19th Pro fight. This Kid Direll, was in the ring with RAW TALENT ONLY. Wait til he gets a PROPER TRAINER to maximize and combine HIS SPEED WITH DEFENSE AND GET A BETTER BOXING IQ AND MATURITY. HMMMM, I wonder who Froch, Abraham, Kessler, Calzaghe were fighting in their 19th Pro Fight???? And for the record...I thought Froch won the fight also...But I was watching the fight on a 12inch Black & White TV, with an Eye-Patch, A pair of Sun Glasses, In the Dark, After a Heroin Trip, Through a Dirty Window while half-sleep!!! NO WAY Froch won this fight: 115-112 Direll!!!!
I think looking back at the tape Dirrell is going to see he missed alot of oportunities. For one Froch can not fight going backwards and he got Froch on his back foot everytime he pressed the action. When he opened up in the 11th and stood in front of him I was impressed.....and Froch had this look like "Holy Crap!" I also think the best thing to do against Froch is to jump on him early! He always seems to have his timing off and a little slow in the first 2 to 3 rounds. I wish the next round was Abraham VS Froch because that will bring fireworks.
No way can you give the fight to dirrel the guy was falling to the floor I counted 10 times that he did this just to avoid taking a counter punch or any punch.Imo dirrell should have been DQ'd the 8th time he fell to the floor deliberately to avoid taking any blows nevermind all the holding he did. I felt sorry for froch he came to fight and was made to look worse than he is because dirrell came to run hold fall over and duck illegally low anything to avoid taking a punch. Anyone will look bad against dirrell when he fights like this.
You don't lose points for slipping dude. At worst the ref could have given him an 8 count. DQ him is a bit over the top.
He dropped this his knees to avoid all the rabbit punching. Yeah, how dare a young man try not to take blows to the back of the head which are more likely to result in brain damage. Thats all Froch had was rabbit punching.
Come on now he didn't slip he did it quite deliberately and was turning his head and ducking low so no wonder froch was made to look like a rabbit puncher, oh and by the way I had money on dirrell to win via tko/ko at 9/2 and picked him to win before the fight I thought he would be too fast for froch. But I think the way he fought didn't deserve a victory it was all the lunging in and falling over and holding had he not done that it would have been a fantastic boxing display and earned him his victory.
