    I thought Dirrell fought the best fight he could and as fan his tactics and style are not appealing to me.

    However Dirrell did outbox Froch and make him look crap.

    10-0 for Dirrell so far.

    Those who do think Froch won, please post your score cards.

    yea, a person that swings and hits nothing but air along with gettin clubbed with a series of lefts deserves to get the decision, im all to curious on who you thought won the diaz-malinaggi fight.

    I can see why Dirrell didn't win the fight, but I had him winning. I just re-watched the key points in the fight and for all the talk about Froch being ineffective, likewise was Dirrell.

    Running around the ring as much as he was doing will not endear yourself to fans or judges alike.

    bad and sportif10 since you voted that you believed that Froch won please explain why you believe he won and don't say because that's how the judges scored it give us your personal assesment of what you saw

    Scored it for Direll. It was close though but a clear win for Direll in my opinion.

    Expected a robbery in England so I guess we should move on quick. I hope this doesn't affect Dirrell's desire/mentality, he's still in the tournament.

    I always thought that a bigot was someone who had many different wives at the same time! Is that not correct?

    Dirrell won hands down, and I picked Froch to win in the ESB championships.

    Dirrell deserved it more, but I did have it a draw based on round to round scoring.
