    I thought Dirrell won the fight, but he was negative in the fight. But this is hit and not get hit, Dirrell landed the cleaner and more affective punches. While Froch Barely landed anything clean, throughout the fight. I have never liked the whole argument that ''you have to dominate the champion, to take his title''. If the fight is close, it shouldn't be given to the champion, just because he is the champion.

    It doesn't matter if Dirrell ''ran'' the fact remains the same, when he was moving Froch couldn't land a glove on him, even when Dirrell was stationary Froch was missing the majority of his punches.
    Now people have short minds, they always talk about Dirrell being negative, but seem to forget about how dirty Froch was in that fight. He body slammed Dirrell on to the canvas, hit Dirrell on breaks, hitting Dirrell in the back of the head, pushing him down and hitting him, pulling him onto punches.

    Froch barely landed a clean shot on Dirrell. If that fight was anywhere else other than England, Dirrell would have won that fight. How can you score a fight to Froch for widely missing his shots, and in return eating two or three shots from Dirrell? Just because Dirrell was negative, by doing so Froch was not landing clean shots (other than illegal ones). You do not score a fight to Froch just because the other guy was being ''negative'' when Froch was made to look like a fool, and didn't land anything clean consistently like Dirrell did.

    Where in the rules are you allowed to duck illegally low and literally fall to the ground to avoid being hit ?

    The reason froch wasn't able to land anything is because dirrell employed illegal moves and tactics to stop froch landing

    that is the difference here

    Direll did not use LEGAL tactics to avoid punches

    I think on at least 10 occasions he literally ran forward falling on to froch to hug

    There's hugging and then there's dirrell hugging

    I guess you just arrived because this is the same thing as it always is. How speaking about 1 particular fight has turned into a negative thread against froch in your head shows that you can't beat the Dirrell, scoring criteria, clean punching argument. Then you got some idiot who comes in after you and says good call. Pure Comedy.

    People who say Dirrell won base it on scoring criteria. Those who say Froch won Base it on Feelings whether towards a fighter or towards a style.

    And before you call me anything but objective. Go ahead and check this out. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8300498#post8300498

    I've heard it all now. That was prolly the worst look at anything I've ever seen on here. 100% or dirrell's blocking and slipping were illegal? Get out of here with that BS. Go watch the fight again and comeback and tell me FROCH DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHANCE TO HIT DIRRELL BECAUSE DIRRELL USED ILLEGAL MOVES EVERY MINUTE OF THE FIGHT.

    Then come back and explain to me through scoring criteria how froch won the fight.

    Then come back and explain why the Italian Judge gave froch the 11th round which was the most decisive round of the fight.

    The Ring, Boxing Weekly and (according to the poll) around 70% of ESBers had it for Froch.

    What do you mean? Froch landed repeatedly in the clinches with blows to the back of the head. Froch's most effective moments were when Dirrell clinched.

    We're talking about the absence of Froch highlights, not ESB opinion polls.

    No one's gonna bother to make a Froch highlight reel because the fight stank out loud. The only people who do are the ones with an axe to grind about Dirrell allegedly being 'robbed' so they focus on him.

    You would be surprised what people would bother to do. Froch has legions of highly enthusiastic fans with good computer skills. Froch fans are tech-savvy.

    Do you mean to say that Froch fans are so over-burdened with the activities of life that they simply could not be bothered to make a highlight reel of their hero whooping Andre Dirrell?

    Or do you mean that there were so few Froch highlights that the hypothetical highlight reel would suck?

    If the latter, then you and I agree!

    technically dirrell beat him but you have to take in to account the manner and the entire fight

    look at the hopkins calzaghe fight

    i bet half the people that think dirrell beat froch think calzaghe beat hopkins

    Actually, I bet nearly 100% of the people who think Froch beat Dirrell, think Calzaghe beat Hopkins.

    Also, technically Dirrell lost to Froch. So say the scorecards. But an accounting of who landed the harder, cleaner, better punches says that Direll beat Froch. And it's not even close. Please see Dirrell highlight reel which almost comical in how many times Dirrell nailed Froch with head-snapping hooks and straight rights.
