    A horrible robbery. Dirrell won that fight without any question. Shameful decision.

    I dont think its as much a robbery as 90% of ppl are saying!

    If you go to a fighters back yard..whether that be new york, berlin, nottingham etc you have to clearly win in my view to get the title!

    Dirrell, yes he was fast,clearly skilled, elusive but he was running for most of the fight!That wont win you a belt anywere...whenever froch hit him he grabbed on for dear life.
    I think the guy could be great but hes got to throw more punches!

    Froch was shameful in his interview and Dirrell classy in his. Froch got hit plenty of times and acted like he was pressuring Dirrell like Joe Frazier. All Froch did was lunge in and hit while holding.

    Very poor decision. Dirrell was stronger in the last rounds, froch looked wobbled at one point.

    I'm a Brit and had Dirrell winning by 2 rounds. However I'm not authorised to apologise (rather melodramatically) on behalf of a sovereign state.

    I had Dirrell up by a couple, but not too surprised it went the other way. Dirrell didn't do enough to walk away as Champion
     
  8. I'm British and I thought Dirrell won. Froch looked dreadful.

    I didn't score the fight but I had Dirrell winning by a couple rounds and it was plain to see.

    Shouldnt be ashamed. Froch tried to make it a fight. He was connecting mainly during clinches but he caught Direll several times with flush shots. Direll was disgraceful in this fight and I'm surprised people dont put more attention to this. Not just running but clinching like a ***** at every opportunity and falling down 10 times without being punched.

    Froch won the fight in my view by a point, maybe two.

    Dirrell spent too much time running and hugging instead of doing what he was being judged on - fighting.

    I also thought Showtime commentary was discracefully bias towards Dirrell - talk about hometown decisions, it was more like hometown commentary

    I heard the fight on the radio and was nervously expecting the judges decision for Froch.All i heard was Froch missing with his shots most of the fight and getting his head pinged by the crisper, sharper punching Dirrel.Does it matter really because Dirrel would probably beat the arse off Froch in a rematch,he beat him in that fight.

    It wasn't as bad as people think. I think Froch did just enough to keep his title. Neither guy was impressive tonight.
