    You are holding up Boxrec data boxing stats to prove your point, not me! They are unreliable and I wouldn't care if they showed Dirrell landing 90% of his punches I still would not use them to prove my point. The real stats would show Dirrell outlanding Froch by a good margin. If Dirrell didn't outland Froch then Haye didn't outland Valuev, simple as.

    Short memory there - the GF was in uproar over it. Though I think Clottey deserved it for his constant grabbing.

    I don't agree. Just because each fight had an obvious aggressor verses a slippery defensive fighter, it doesn't stand to reason that we have to score them in the same way.

    For what it's worth I had Dirrell and Valuev just nicking their respective fights. Does that make me a hypocrite? Probably "yes" according to some on this forum, but I don't think so.

    I simply watched and scored two fights, independantly of each other, and with no preconceived ideas of favouring either aggressive or defensive fighting. I didn't allow my scoring of the Froch fight to influence how I scored the Haye fight.

    I'm also happy to admit that I may have been wrong in the way I scored both these fights. Luckily, I'm not an actual boxing judge. I'm just a boxing fan who enjoys scoring fights and expressing an opinion.

    I don't mind being wrong, but I'm not a hypocrite.
