Was Andre Dirrell robbed against Carl Froch?

Two judges had it 7-5 Froch and one 7-5 Dirrell. Was a close fight but not a robbery.

 

no.

 

No, the poll and press scorecards demonstrate this, it was close, maybe even debatable, but a robbery? No.

 

I don't think the referee was biased towards Froch.

Dirrell was constantly holding all night, though had the point deduction occurred earlier Dirrell would have opened up earlier and dominated, most likely.

I was there and it was a seriously **** fight, a draw would have been fair enough because neither man deserved to win.

 

I thought Direll won though wldnt say it was a robbery didnt think Froch did much 2 get the decision

 

wouldnt say it was a robbery. it was a close fight. both could say they legitamately won

 

Close fights are rarely robberies. This was close and I think it's an OK verdict. During the fight I thougth Direll could also have gotten the nod but the decision for Froch was not a robbery.

When I watched it again I thought it was fair and good that Froch won. And for the Kessler fight the result IMO was also spot on. Both verdicts were fair and good IMO.

 

Ward will dominate froch and leave no questions in regards to who won.

 

That video is very biased.
At about six minutes into that video Froch hurts Dirrell and the clip changes straight away.

The American commentators themselves had this one very close if you listen to them but if you watch this clip you'd think it was a domination in Dirrell's favour. A lot of those punches Froch was throwing off Dirrell while he was against the ropes were landing as well but the US commentators were just complementing Dirrell's movement.
You only have to look at my post history to see I don't like Froch but I thought he won this fight personaly. It was very close but he was doing the majority of the work and Dirrell was only really doing well in small pockets here and there.

It's easy to mislead people with a video that only shows one persons highlights in a close fight. I do think Dirrell may improve in a few years though to be a better fighter than Froch since he did have only 18 or so fights going in.

Dirrell did a lot of holding in that fight. If you watch that video, you'd actually think that fight was a bit of a barn burner when in reality it was pretty boring.

 

I agree with this really. I actually said after watching this that neither of them deserved to win in a fight that uneventful. Froch was the one trying to make a fight of it though so I didn't really have too many complaints about the decision.

 

Lots of Froch v Dirrell vids on Youtube.

I've seen the fight 2 times myself & I had Dirrell winning comfortably. I also think Andre Ward will be too quick & accurate for Froch. The Cobra's best chance is his awkwardness, he can always land & test that chin. I doubt it though.

 

I had Kessler beating Froch also.

 

Dirrell beat Froch. I thought the fight was close but Dirrell outboxed him.

 

Ridiculous amount of holding there, and they say the ref was pro froch, if he was pro froch he would of broken the holding instantly
