    This isn't the type of fight that gets the decision over turned.

    I had it 6-6.

    However, I felt that Dirrell was a brilliant boy fighting a good man.

    When Dirrell grows up (figuratively speaking) he will beat the man effortlessly imo. Perhaps he already grew up over the course of fight because he did fight superbly in rounds 11 and 12. Until then he mostly stunk out the joint, but 11 and 12 are worth building on for Dirrell. He answered a lot of questions, but lost because he is not a finished product, but in the making.

    Yeah right.

    Even the extremely biased British commentators gave it to Dirrell :deal

    I had Direll ahead 114-113, I felt it was a little bit of a gift decision for Froch. But it was not the robbery of the year or anything.

    I thought Dirrel got robbed. I didnt score that fight but Dirrell won most of those early rounds if not all. Froch looked so amateurish that I think he probably is the underdog in the whole tournament.

    I watched Showtime and they had it very close, its nowhere near being a case for overturning a decision.

    if anything showtimes commentators were a bit biased for direll. But thats probobly because hes a more marketable fighter, they were even comparing him to roy jones a few times :-(

    But cmon, the fight was close, it wasnt a ****ing robbery. I had it a draw without the deduction...

    THE FIGHT WAS NOT A ROBBERY!!

    **** sake people.dirrell nut hugers get a grip

    It was very close...due in part to the fact that dirrell ran more than he threw. Froch was made to look like the boss in there as he was constantly hunting dirrell down.
    The guy blew his chance!

    I did not say it was a robbery, it was a clear win for Dirrell though.

    For the life of me I cant see how anyone is going to tell me that Froch outlanded Dirrel in any round. Holding and all the other BS aside, the bodyslams, the punching after the break, Im talking about punches landed. I cant think of more than one meaningful shot that Froch landed. I try to stay away from this ****, I even tried to excuse the Diaz Malignaggi fight but tonite was something else
