Oh so predictable reaction to Dirrell losing

Keep telling your boy that! Next time he should try punching rather than ballet.

 

I actually scored the fight a draw last night. When i judge fights I tend to favor the fighter who presses the action. Froch didn't do much last night but I thought he was the more effective aggressor. It's a shame that with all those natural gifts that Dirrel has he isn't a more aggressive fighter. He could have easily taken Froch out had he been constantly aggressive throughout the fight. I don't think Froch is really that great a fighter.

It difficult for me to reward a fighter whole bases his gameplan on holding and riding a bicycle for the entire fight. Good defensive "running" is great when it's called for but at some point you have stand and fight. Though I scored this as a draw I think a one point swing for either fighter would have been ok.

 

Right, because Europeans aren't nationalistic. That's one of the first things that pops in my head when I watch European soccer, football.

 

I agree. Everybody knew Froch was slow and limited long before he stepped foot in that ring.

 

Hey David - you must have scored the times when Froch hit air.
I think I counted 6 or 7 clean punches from him the whole fight.

The only thing Froch did good (because he got away with it) was to hit Dirrell at will with dirty ****in cheap foul neck punches. It was absolutely embarrasing to watch imho.

I was impressed by Dirrell's defensive skills and his counterpunching. He did allright although he ran and held too much. Not a good fight from him either. But he CLEARLY hit cleaner AND more often. Its a fact, dude.

How anyone can score this fight in favour of Froch is a mystery to me.

Your post is wrong on many levels.

1st. If you look at who is calling this a robbery on ESB, its NOT all people who predicted a Dirrell win. I didnt know what to expect from Dirrell like most of us on ESB, so this isnt about protecting our wagers.

2nd. The crowd is a worst influence then a tv commentator when trying to judge a fight. Were you ringside?

3rd. How did you have the first a draw? Dirrell landed his jabs. Froch didnt land crap.

4th. How did you have Froch winning the 11th? Really can you explain this one to me?

 

You are a joke.

 

He wouldnt even be in the tournament if he was non-American,thats why i struggle to sympathise.
You think if he was an untested 18 fight novice from Lithuania he'd have got an invite?

 

Truth of the matter is that Froch is a plodding easy to hit banger who someone with Dirrells skill & footwork (See Taylor previouslly...!!) should have outpointed fairly comfortabley but instead , on foreign ground he opted to run & whinge to the ref which did him no favours whatsover......Kessler will take this fairly easily from what I have seen........
