Look, I watched the first few rounds as patient, but Dirrell won that round fairly, Froch did nothing. Froch needs to lose. **** Britain, **** pride, and **** patriotism, Froch lost. He did nothing. Either he was You know what. **** it. I'm not gonna even sit here and do the whole analysis, because Buncey just gave Froch the win. I love Buncey, don't get me wrong, but he sucked the Froch dick tonight.
I had Dirrell about 5-6 rounds up after outclassing Froch the whole night, it was very one sided stuff, a good defensive boxer against a clueless offensive fighter Froch was being made a fool of and being countered the whole fight, it was a gameplan from the Dirrell camp and it should have worked but didnt because the judges percieved defensivness to be negative rather than a skill. It was a class performance from Dirrell, i thought pre fight that Froch would win, but now i know he was outclassed by a speedy, counter puncher with great movement to avoid being hit whoile landing his own shots. It was embarassing for Froch at times, even the ref had to help him out. Very one sided fight in my opinion.
does any1 remember the video of froch criticizing khan for fighting a safety first fight against kotelnik then he proceeds to get outboxed throughout a fight he deserved to lose against a fighter applying the same tactics, froch is just a talker imagine how badly calzaghe would have ***** slapped the mugg several years ago i'm sick of all these forch appologists hes been exposed for the limited fighter he is,
Apparently were stupid and don't know what we've just seen. Dirrell won. Bunce you've lost my respect. Sorry. Get another job that doesn't involve selling your soul. It's ok though the drunks won't notice
You do realise that Showtime (the broadcast I watched - American) had it incredibly close - they said it could have went either way, 2 press row scorers had it to Froch while the other one had it as a draw - so why the hell is Buncey being the sole person being attacked here?
Dirrell was very negative but it worked, Froch was ineffective mostly. Dirrell landed more and better punches and he deserved the decision. I really wanted Froch to win but he did not deserve to. No disrespect to Carl, he was the guy trying to make a fight of it but he was outboxed.
You have to agree that the early rounds were close though - neither were landing anything of note in the first 3-4 rounds and they could have went to either fighter in my opinion. Dirrell won it for me in the later rounds. I just think 9-3 is too wide.
I thought Dirrell won it easily and I wouldn't call him negative because he landed the cleaner punches on the front and back foot.
**** off, okay? Bring bias or not. Dirrell won that fight on points. Froch landed some nice flurries, but that's it. Dirrell outboxed him. **** sake man that pisses me off.
I agree. I think I had a level after 8 rounds with Dirrell doing enough in the last 4 rounds to win the fight. From a realistic point of view I don't think Dirrell did enough in the early rounds to put them in the bag beyond dispute away from home and that probably cost him dear.
Yeah, AD had to learn you gotta do more than that to get the belt off a champ, esp away from home. That's the way it is.
