Froch vs Dirrell controversy thread

I was at the fight and thought Dirrell might just've nicked it but Froch probably did enough. I thought it was tough to call. My mate had it for Froch by a couple of rounds. I didn't hear anyone question the decision afterwards. Which even if you are a Froch fan you'd expect them to breath a sigh of relief and joke, 'blimey that was a gift' or something like that amongst fellow Froch fans, and I heard none of that sort of thing. I can only conclude the commentary had a big influence as alot of the comments on this message board are totally out of kilter with what I saw on the night.

 

Dirrell won this fight. If you can't see that you don't know how to score a fight. It was a complete robbery.

 

Just what i posted to him PH|LLA,scroll back and see it.

 

I was there live, not a huge Froch fan (find his calzaghe scared of me taunts a joke) plus the tickets were an early birthday present therefore I would consider myself a neutral for the fight.

As I have said in an earlier post Froch won the fight through Dirrells own stupidity... Dirrell was wary of Froch's power from the off and didnt want nothing to do with trading (fair enough) fighting off the backfoot is not a problem to me and I am not a fan that thinks the aggressor wins close rounds. However when you constantly hold and often lunge in to hold so desperatley that you a fall to the floor (this happened several times) well you dont really deserve to win rounds like that.

Dirrell shocked me, he has brilliant hand speed and is a very skillful boxer and he rocked Froch but the loss was his own fault. Many times froch swung wildly and he didnt counter.

Froch pressured well throughout the fight and as Dirrell slowed he pinned him down with some meaty shots and just done enough to get the win

I was sitting in the outer ringside (so was really close to the action) and this is just my take on the fight.

 

It did. I rewatched the fight on TV and Dirrells running looked less obvious.

 

In my eyes Froch won. Dirrel did to little to late. If he had started fighting like he did in the later rounds from the start and not moaned and whinged then I belive he could of easily taken the title.

I think if Dirrel had got the nod on saturday that it would have been percived as a far greater robbery than people are calling Froch's victory.

I though Froch was a bit classless at the end and went down in my estimations and Dirrel showed he has seriously slick skills.

I think Dirrel is going to learn alot from this fight and makes me genuiely excited to see his next fight. That's my piece and I will say no more.

 

:nono Not all

 

idiot

 

How is a judge from another country in North America any more or less neutral than a judge from another country in Europe?

 

How racist is it for Dirrell's grandfather to say "You won't get a decision here?" That's obviously aimed at all the judges. I've watched the american feed of the fight twice, and the commentary alone makes you want to score for Dirrell - very biased, although I can understand they want their own guy to win. Watch with the sound low enough to hear the fight, but not the commentators and I scored it for Froch exactly how the 2 judges did.

 

What the **** is "racist" about that you dip****? He said Dirrell would need a knockout because the deck was stacked and he was right.

Dirrell beat Froch's ass. End of story.

 

Whatever you can say about that fight, an arse beating it was not. Dancing away from a man, scared to trade, scared even to really box in the first half, spoiling and pot shotting in the manner Dirrell did is not a beating.

 

froch no question,direll was all over the place,is he scared of heights or what? he was clinging on for dear life...

 

fact is and the truely boxing pros on ESB and not FAN boys
i had dirrell winning based on me scoring based on cleaner punches landed, primarily, because aggression isn't effective if you aren't connecting, which is the fundamental principle of the sport. froch was hitting thin air a lot of times go back and watch the fight see how many connects dirrel has!

and also put the sound on mute the UK crowd each time froch farted or punched thin air were applauding! wtf

froch was very un-impressive he lost and got a lucky decison and all his fans know it including carl himself

 

When did he say that? If it was just before the last round, then why didn't he say it earlier?

Gary Shaw was screaming at Dirrell's cornermen towards the end of the fight telling them to tell Dirrell that 'he needs to do more', so he must've suspected it was slipping away
