    A true disgrace and put a damper on the super six tournament ... its going to be expected that you can't win a fight in Europe ... during the Taylor fight they said that only 3 out of damn near 200 fighters from outside of Germany or Europe won a fight there ... and i'm sure the same can be said for Nottingham England who was not going to let that title go without some controversay ... you're basically saying that you can't win a "boxing" prize fight ... and you have to go over there and play knockout.

    I don't think styles or match ups have anything to do with the outcome of a controversal match ... you can tell by the scores that the judges didn't favor one particular style.

    I think the taste left by the Dirrell vs Froch fight will leave a foul taste in the mouths of many "boxing" fans ...

    The next time that there's a fight in Europe and there headlining the card with an American fighter against a hometown fighter, fans would either have some bias towards it or expect foul play ... **** ... the proof is there in the stats.

    Terrible Showtime, Terrible WBC, Terrible, Ref, Terrible show of class by European/UK fans.

    This is boxing if you guys don't know ... its not called "body slam" the philosophy to the sport is to hit and not get hit ... Froch did alot of getting hit ... and Dirrell barely got hit ... and for him to claim victory with a straight face just shows that he's not a true champion ...

    Watch-out for the hypocritical Hatton reject fans to bombard this thread (e.g. the fool GazOC) seeing as I heard www.itwazcortezthatdidit.com is dormant these!

    Is there a world record for the amount of threads on the same subject?

    It doesn't matter if the fight is boring or not, the point is getting the win, by any means necessary ... and its crazy to think otherwise, for someone to say that, probably has never been in a fight before and doesn't know what it means to be classified as a boxer. Tactics are used to help improve your chances throughout the fight ... I can tell you this, if Mosley didn't clinch - he would've had a tougher time than he did with Margarito. Its something about fighters that throws them off rhythm and gets them sidetracked ... it was obvious that Froch was frustrated and I don't hear anyone talking about Froch hitting behind the head and the ref giving him several warnings ... damn when was he going to ever take a point away.

    Reminds me of some **** that aint boxing ... I can tell you this, the outcome didn't do any favors to the super six tournament in my opinion.

    I don't care what happens afterwards.

    There's a difference between pressing the action and being effective. Froch demonstrated the complete antithesis of effective aggression on Saturday night. He pawed, he lunged, he hit nothing but air...he was hapless. Really, when one guy decides to take a defensive role and the other acts as aggressor, they both know what they have to do. It is the job of the aggressor to cut off the ring and to corner the other fights. Honestly, I don't know why people are acting like Dirrell is the first guy in history to dance. Ever seen Hagler against Leonard?

    Point is, Froch was far too slow to effectively cut off the ring and catch Dirrell, whereas Dirrell was more effective in his defensive fighter role. He landed the quicker cleaner punches all night long. Now, you can give Froch credit, maybe even a point or two for being the aggressor, if you are so inclined. But you are either biased or a complete nughugger if you thing Froch was effective in Saturday night's fight. He was simply and undeniably pathetic...especially for a champion.

    Correct.

    Many posters don't seem to realise that body punches count as well:patsch

    Also punching in clinches is allowed. It doesn't normally happen because both fighters are usually happy to grab a quick rest

    This **** is ridiculous ... you guys need to realize this is called boxing ... not WWE or UFC ... its boxing on its highest level and this is just becoming a continued trend to further ruin the image of world championship boxing.

    Your logical is so flawed it's almost embarrassing for me to point it out to you. Okay, so if Dirrell didn't do enough to deserve a belt, what did Froch do to deserve to keep it? Hmmm? Shouldn't a fighter have to do something to keep a belt?

    Sorry, but the tie shouldn't go to the champion. And if it does, we need to rethink the sport. There is no other sport, not basketball, tennis, soccer, football or even MMA where a champion can turn in a **** poor performance and still walk away with his belt.

    IMO, Dirrell won it on points.

    Froch was the aggressor,,, but the only time he was even slightly effective was when he was fouling (rabbit punches, holding & hitting, elbows, head-locks and judo flips)

    Dirrell basically out-boxed and out-landed (and out-ran) Froch by a fair margin.

    I could'nt get into scoring it rd by rd... Most of the action was real garbage... neither guy did anything effective in many rounds.

    Just a real ugly-ass fight with one of the worst refs in history, and a typical home-town decision to seal the deal on a disapointing affair.

    I don't feel bad for Dirrell though... I think old Carl was there for the taking that night... He seemed unfocused and too worried about living up to his new-found fame at home.

    If Dirrell was'nt such a ***** (running and crying all night) he had the tools right there in his hands to take a clear cut win, and maybe even KO Froch to really make a statement. (and 3 points)

    Instead he did just enough to lose a SD in the other guy's backyard.
    I hope he learned from it and comes back with a new set of balls to go along with his big mouth and god-given talent.
