Giving Dirrell His Props

Dirrell came into this fight at the bottom rung, the least experienced, and with the weakest resume. He ventured across the globe into a dangerous fighter's backyard in front of his hostile and adoring fans. He was ridiculed mercilessly before this fight and gave back as good as he got. Even right up to the first bell he was questioned about flying in only six days before the fight with Froch ludicrously saying it was disrespectful for such an important fight and that it would show in his performance.

He was taunted, booed, rabbit punched, picked up and blatantly thrown to the canvas and kept his composure. He may not have fought the perfect fight. Some green did show but for at least more than half of this fight he put on a boxing clinic and landed far more punches, never getting hit with a single substantial punch, and had Froch in serious trouble at one point.

But he lost on a very tough and debatable split decision and even acknowledge some of his shortcomings in the fight. He took the loss better than the victor who spent his time after the fight trying to explain a poor performance.

He gets all the props in the world.

Dirrell fought like he was very scared of Froch and stank the place out.

Dropped to his knees 4 times illegal
Constantly hugged Illegal
Dropped his head below Frochs waist Illegal

You know what I really think, When dirrel dodged froch, if he countered with punches instead of running to the other side of the ring we would have a new wbc champ. instead he took the easy way out

he deserves no props, he embarrassed himself
