    Round 2 wasn't close. It's like saying Paul Williams won the 11th round vs Margarito lol.

    Maybe I've just been hearing a lot of talk about how Froch is KOing Dirrell in 3 from a lot of fans from a certain island who have never seen Dirrell fight. Just sayin'.

    Not me, man, but I have seen that talk, and to me it screams "I am extremely unfamiliar with Andre Dirrell!" For a long time I've said that I think Dirrell could take Froch, and I think he did just that; it's too bad it was in Nottingham and there wasn't a non-partisan judging/reffing panel...

    Oh well. Rounds 2 and 3 in the group stage are all very interesting, as long as Jermaine Taylor ducks out...

    I feel the same way about round 1, its like ledderman saying hatton won rounds 3 or 4 against mayweather....a majority of people gave dirrell round 1...

    It was a close a fight, same with paulie-diaz, but we didnt have any gale van hoy's or donald sutherlands in this fight...in fact most press people match up with the judges scorecards except a majority feel dirrell got the nod....this was not a robbery

    Oh i see. You wanted him to read in between the lines of their ignorance. Ive noticed the same as well but you'll need to be more blunt for us slow-witted folk. Even still, thats boxing, people go with the known quantity, and pick, with certainty, against a fighter having seen none of his fights.

    Well Froch certainly dominated and gave thin air a real beat down most of the fight.

    Dirrell looks like he has amateur temperament. Tag, drop hands, shuffle away. That really won't cut it in the pros let alone title fights.
