I think everyone is forgetting to Congratulate Andre Dirrell

It does matter, because he left the door open for what happened.

He did not dominate more than four rounds. Therefore, he left eight rounds to be held up in the air. You combine that with getting a point deducted and basically, he was going to struggle to win any round where he wasn't clearly dominant because of his backfoot-turn-clinch style he had.

He had the ability to spank Froch in there and make a huge statement. He just didn't have the willpower to do it.

 

He fought a good fight against a ugly, dirty fighter. I had Andre winning by a point even after the bogus point deduction. Andre's stock went up and Froch's went down.

 

Congratulations for what? For running around the whole fight and not applying himself 'cos he was bricking it?

If his Dirrell Bolt is the future of boxing, I'll give up watching boxing. This guy takes running to a whole new level. I don't know about you, I actually want to see a fight.

 

And some people still give it a 10-8 round for Froch when he was hurt and didn't do anything that round.

 

Maybe you should take up MMA. It's a little easier to follow for the lamen who does not understand the sweet science.

 

Wow look at Dirrell run away from Froch ..Oh yeah I can see where Dirrell ran from him

 

No thank you Mr Froch.

For your rough tactics. For your hitting behind the head. For your hitting after the break. For your wrestling manoeuvres. For embarrassing yourself and your fans with your clumsy and amateur punches in which 99.9% of them hit air.

Well done

PS: Good luck against Kessler in Copenhagen :hi:

 

Dirrell was born with natural abilities at the level of PBF, RJJ...

However, he did fight like a boy last night. He showed those skills in spurts, but it is depressing to see an incredibly talented fighter **** it away because he is either scared to fight or too into watching himself move.

In all honesty Dirrell ought to have stopped Carl in there and have won every round. He showed that he even has great stamina as he finished stronger than Froch - and how many could do that?

When Dirrell grows up he will be something else..

For now - the main reason why Dirrell is not getting congratulations is because he has some rapid fans who doesn't understand why the better fighter (skill wise) did not get the win. They do not understand that you also have to do the work. Dirrell did that in rounds 11 and 12, but should have felt this urgency for all 12 rounds. These rapid fans are Dirrell's biggest problem, because he himself took the defeat graciously - too bad his fans have far less class.

 

People who say boxers with good footwork and movement are "runners" are IDIOTS. I would like to refer you braindead, gratification now, fast-food eating, reality tv watching jackasses to the UFC.

 

He really put in a head-turning performance. For a young fighter with NO experience against B level competition, let alone a defending champ in his hometown, Dirrell was fantastic.

Luckily he didn't take much damage from Froch, so there shouldn't be any major hitch in his career other than losing the O. It was the kind of performance he will learn a lot from. Abraham better hope he can catch him with a punch, or its gunna be a long night for him when they meet.

Dirrel is a star in the making.

 

Congratulations Andre for thoroughly outclassing Froch in front of his own fans:good

 

Then you see Froch pushing Dirrell's head down, and then throwing punches at him, which he was doing the WHOLE night and the ref
never warned him.
