    I think Dirrell would beat Kessler too.

    I don't know about Froch vs Kessler yet, but right now I gotta go with Froch as well.

    Yep, first 3 fights already set.

    Dirrell vs Abraham

    Then Dirrell vs Ward. Regardless what happens in the 2nd round.

    So in reality it was bad. Because it prevents a unification.

    You can probably find the schedule for all 3 rounds somewhere. Showtime had it up before the fight.

    Yeah I just wasn't too interested on that. I just like watching the fights and don't really worry about the rest. :good

    it wa a close fight. 99.9% of the people who felt dirrell won still feel it was a close fight. So by calling it a robbery you just make yourself look stupid.

    Froch won 3 rounds. 4 if you're being generous.

    I have no problem with being in the minority then. Froch just didnt land anything. Dirrell even though he landed little, he at least did it. And his punches were clean, powerful ones.

    So one guy lands, not a lot but does land, and the other one doesn't. That to me = Loss for the latter. Really simple.
