    Ok i've read enough of all this bull**** about how poor Andre was robbed!

    I've read about his 'ring generalship' 'clean punching' and Froch's dirty tactics and yet little is mentioned of Dirrells pathetic sportsmanship!

    I mean the guy actually just fell down when Froch went to throw a punch! Is that even legal? Just to fall down when Froch had him in position for a big right hand.

    He clung on like a man on his legs and took rounds off at a time, reducing Carl to running after him in an attempt to make it a fight.

    Yes, Froch was clumsy, slow and his defence was useless as usual but he had far superior work rate, made the fight, and landed solidly to the body throughout the fight.

    Rabbit punching is a british disease that seems to have started with Nigel Benn but if an opponent ducks down and the only place you can hit him is on the back of his head then you are entitled to go for it.

    Dirrells tactics stunk out the joint and he didnt do enough to win 7 rounds, which is what he needed to win. For what its worth i had Froch by a couple points; discussion welcome! :good

    Yes, Froch won, according to two judges. You can't disregard the other scorecard. This fight is up for debate. I plan on watching the highlights very soon. I am now intrigued :think

    I had it 6-6 with 1 point deduction. I understand someone can have it 7-5 Direll and he would win by a point but to say he won 9 rounds is a ****ing disgrace.

    scoring on clean punches, dirrell won by 3 or 4 points

    as an overall fight and taking into account the manner of the fight, it was a draw because neither man did enough to beat the other man

    Despite the fact that many have Froch winning? But i suppose nobody can score a fight other than you? What score did you have btw?

    I agree, I have no problems with 114-113 for either man, I had it for froch....but the people saying dirrell won 8 or 9 rounds is horrendous scoring...
