    I would agree with you if that were the case where this was a fight with very few clean punches but this was not the case ..Anyone can post up a video of this fight and can get clips of the clean punches Dirrell caught Froch with ..

    Even if they were far and few they were still at a higher out put than Froch .And how you scored rds 11 and 12 has people wondering what the f**k are you scoring ?

    What are you looking for or are you just giving the champ the rds because he wasn't knocked down or knocked out ??

    I thought Dirrell won on clean punching. But he held and ran so much, it was painful. Especially the holding, basically prevented Froch from fighting at close range, I don't think totally nullifying an aspect of boxing by holding all the time should be allowed. How are you gonna hold EVERY time he gets close. In-fighting not allowed now? They need to DQ these guys or something. If he had just ran and avoided the close range fighting like that, then I guess that's fine, but not by holding so much.

    I was ringside aswell... and I agree with what your saying here. I may have had it a point closer

    but yes I mainly agree with Dirrell being so ****ing skillful and he could have won this fight with ease.

    I could not stand the lengths Dirrell would go to, to not get hit. I fully appreciate quality boxing on the backfoot but whenever Dirrell was pinned down instead of firing shots he would lunge to hold.....many times lunching so low that he just fell on the floor.

    and for me this is the main reason I had given Froch the closer rounds.

    Look.. Direll vs froch seemed like the Fight in Madagasgar 2, when Alex the Lion thought it was a danceoff...

    Dirrell had no clues that it was a boxin match..

    You let your bias towards Froch cloud your judgment on such a regular basis it is unreal. Here is my card:

    10-9 Froch
    10-9 Dirrell
    10-9 Dirrell
    10-9 Dirrell
    10-9 Dirrell
    10-9 Froch
    10-9 Dirrell
    10-9 Froch
    10-9 Dirrell
    9-9 Even (Dirrell's round but even with the point deduction)
    10-9 Dirrell
    10-9 Dirrell

    116-111 Dirrell, he might not have fought the most pleasing fight to watch but he was clearly in control and also outfought Froch on the rare occasions they fought up close and even wobbling him in the 10th (or was it 11th?) round. Like I've said before I'm a big Froch fan but I was probably generous in giving him 3 rounds.

    you're so bias it makes me sick... I was rooting for Froch and I can't stand Dirrell, but I am not ****ing ******ed... You don't win Rounds on pure aggression, you need to land punches... if you couldn't see that Dirrell was doing that then you are a hopeless boxing fan.

    Its a tough round to score because Froch won most of it but got caught at the end and had to dig deep. This round could go either way, you cant ignore what Froch did earlier before he got caught.

    Yes you can because he had reeling and staggering backwards into the ropes. It was a big turning point with Dirrell really having hurt Froch and having Froch on the defensive.

    Great, another nationalist themed thread. I guess they are like potato chips, you can't have just one.
