Froch and not even close...Froch totally kicked his ass. Dirrell also performed awesome for 3/4 of the fight. Ward did a good job, but personally I think his performance was good, but not as impressive as Froch's or Dirrell's performance. Froch and Dirrell really had Abraham's number. Froch even made Abraham looking stupid. Ward dominated the fight but AA helped him big time by simply doing nothing else than hiding behind his turtle shell (except for the first two rounds).
I thought so too exactly... Froch and Ward were outboxing Abraham, but Dirrel was really HURTING him. Throwing hard shots, busting up his face. But at the same time, Dirrel got knocked down and although we'll never know, there is the possibility that AA got to him if not for that DQ...
Froch was the only one who completely shut AA out, so I don't see how anyone could argue against him.
Spot on.. I voted for Froch 12 RD distruction.. but Dirrell was clowing in his fight with Abraham.. to the point Abraham was getting hit with some nasty counter shots he didn't even see comming.. Lack of focus on Dirrell is what cost him a great victory if he had Ward Focus we would be talking about how Abe got kocked out..
Froch, easily. Dirrell was boxing beautifully for most of the fight but in the last couple of rounds, Abraham was getting to him and knocked him down. The less said about the ending the better. Froch dominated from bell to bell using a style which he hadn't previously employed.
I don't know why there's even a poll for this it was clearly froch he boxed his head off for 12 rounds totally dominant.
Exactly - Abe landed some wild shots on him and won a couple of rounds on that account, but Dirrell really rocked him. Froch hurt him too as well as outboxed him while Ward lost the first couple of rounds (I had 3 even) against Abe before boxing his way to a decicion without really hurting him.
Froch won every single round against Abraham. In fact, I can't think of one which was even close although I haven't seen it in a while admittedly. Has to be Froch for me.
IF anything Dirrell looked like he was on the way to being KOd. He was slowing down in the fight. Probably all the lateral movement he had to do was wearing him down. Abraham was looking stronger towards the end thats why Dirrell decided to get DQd instead.
Quite obviously Froch because of the consistent beating over 12, but Dirrell looked really good in spots and i think was slipping fast towards the dive at the end.
