    The judges scores the punches, not the manner of the fight.

    erm since when ? this isn't the olympics ?

    If dirrell say landed 3 punches in a round but spent the entire round running away some judges wont award him the round if froch is the one coming forward trying to fight

    Funny as what you said has nothing to do with what we are talking about (which is this particular fight). A tactic that's used by everyone who can't come up with anything to respond what has been said on the subject.

    There was nothing personal about the fighters in my account. Just what happened which is what everyone knows what happened. One side looks at scoring criteria and the others look at styles.

    So just get over not having anything to come back with if you can't stick to the subject. Just don't respond unless you are gonna say you were wrong (which we all are sometimes).

    That little ***** took it to froch's ass in the championship rounds.

    Froch didn't do anything to win. You just gotta not like Dirrell (style or personal) to say he lost that fight. I understand that but just don't try to argue who won when you can't get past a simple scoring criteria point. Also don't mention dirrell's fouls without froch's more malicious fouls. You don't wanna add to the hypocracy. Keep your personal oppinion to yourself if you can't get passed those points. As well as the other 26+ minutes the video doesn't cover which still had froch landing nothing.

    I think Froch handled Dirrell's tactics, when Dirrell put his head below Froch's belt (illegal) Froch hit the top of Dirrell's head.

    When Dirrell clinched excessivly (illegal) Froch hit the top of Dirrell's head.

    People whine about the rabbit punches but they were a direct result of Dirrells ducking and clinching.

    that is why Dirrell got the point taken off and Froch didn't. you cant help but rabbit punch someone if he duck below the belt - or you are just standing there waiting for them to come up and throw a punch.

    Froch has been in many great fights, against Dirrell he fought a guy who was as negative as anyone has ever been in a championship fight. Dirrell did not want to be in that ring with Froch - he was scared shitless.

    Sorry but next time watch the fight with your eyes, dont just lisen to the showtime commentary. They are hamming it up for the lard arses back in the good old USofA.

    Add to that the fact that he was fustrated because he couldn't hit dirrell with normal boxing either. That was what really made him do it. He goes on looking stup trying to box and when he gets a chance to get inside he gets held. He knew he had no chance boxing dirrell and had to attack. His couldn't do so normally. He had to jump in with airball flurries when he felt dirrell wasn't going to swing (kinda like what AA tried on froch).

    If froch had been landing somewhat consistant then he might not have got that dirty. But since he couldn't land anything regardless of what was going on, he got fustrated and dirty. Froch knew and still knows that Dirrell is superior to him and it's in the way that he fought dirrell. If you look at that fight and think to yourself what is froch thinking, you see a very scared man who is afraid to get countered. When the fight was standstill at distance froch couldn't do anything as well as on the move or when dirrell became aggressive. Froch couldn't do anything. That's what fustrated him. Dirrell kept it as a boxing match while froch tried to get inside to swing. Froch got to a point where he knew he couldn't set dirrell up or hit him with anything because dirrell was that good defensively and could counter before froch could register what happened.

    This is a gameplan thing and nothing more. Dirrell was executing a gameplan that was to box froch knowing froch would have no chance but to make it a brawl. They didn't realize how easy froch was for dirrell to hit. They basically gave too much respect to froch with thier gameplan.

    They say right after that if they knew froch would be that easy to engage then they would have engaged him from the start (like they did AA).

    As far as being scared shitless. Nobody scared shitless brings it to somebody like that in the championship rounds. They felt they were gonna get robbed after that point was taken so strategicly he had to bring it to froch. He did and if that was the gameplan from the start he prolly would have knocked froch out seeing that froch couldn't touch dirrell even when dirrell had became aggressive with him.

    The Gameplan is more likely than dirrell being scared of froch. You put yourself in the shoes of someone as skilled as dirrell and look at film of a guy with the skills of froch and ask yourself if that would scare you. His discipline to stay with that gameplan made the fight that way. Look at round 5 hard. That's when froch gets dirty. DIrrell is upping his output starting to bring it to froch and froch still can't hit him and gets fustrated because everytime his chance to land something lucky in close comes, dirrell clinches. Still froch had many opportunities and ended up throwing AIRBALL flurries when he had dirrell cornered.

    Direll was scared to death and ran the whole fight. Froch landed the best 3 punches of the fight and also tossed Direll's' little ***** ass like a rag doll in prison.
