    Was a robbery but what's new. Scorecards nowadays are determined before the fight, not based on the actual action.

    Should've heard the Brit commentary on this fight. Praising Froch like he was world's best pound for pound and had it clearly scored for Froch. Like I was in bizzaro world.

    ****ing hell, stop crying.

    Froch won. It wasn't pretty. Dirrell threw this fight away when he could've done more. Get over it.

    What Dirrell was doing is not fighting off the back foot. He was running. He turned his back to Froch several times also. It was an awful fight.

    Klitschko beat the **** out of Arreola look at the guys face after the fight.

    Pretty much what everyone says when they cant post a scorecard.

    The fight wasnt that bad. Dont know where that notion came about. rounds 6-9 were bad because of Froch's illegal rabbit punching and body slamming. But rounds 1-5 and 10-12 are easil watchable, and its where Dirrell dominated the fight.


    If the fight was held anywhere but Notthingham, Dirrell wins by 3-4 points or more.

    He was boxing off the back foot. Froch didnt no how to cut off the ring. And when he did get close he missed. Even so you are over stating how much "running" Dirrell did.

    Here's the first part of the fight. Dirrell is in range most of the fight. He just used his legs as his defense instead of defending in the pocket

    So what rounds did Froch edge Dirrell in punches landed?

    Dirrell did enough to win by any criteria you're supposed to use in judging. Nottingham England was the only difference in a green prospect picking up his first title.

    You do talk some guff. It was a very poor fight, aside from the late rounds when Dirrell actually opened up a bit. Prior to that it was terrible. I can't post a scorecard because i haven't watched it since the night and don't want to watch it again, why would i? I don't have the time or inclination to rewatch fights i thought were **** the first time around. As i've said, i thought Dirrell edged it but it wasn't a robbery. And as i've also said, the Vegas judges wouldn't have been impressed with the way Dirrell fought either.

    There was highlights of Froch and it lasted just as long as this one posted by Froch fans. Look I only back Froch here because of the obvious bias from Direll fan.

    Vegas judges are usually good at scoring hit and not get hit boxing. Froch would have been penalized in America for his body slam, and rabbit punching, Dirrell would have won wide.


    Again if you are gonna try and debate the fight atleast watch it first, you obviously dont know what you're talking about. Watch the first 5 rounds, and tell me how much "running" Dirrell did.

    All I ask was Vitali running?

    I know Vitali beat the **** out of Arreolla but by your standards you should consider that running!!

    Dirrell did what he had to do to get the decision ... the crowd wasn't into it and Froch was fighting very sloppy and couldn't really connect when it came down to it. His chin got dented in the 10th and I'm surprised Dirrell didn't jump on him.

    Add to that Dirrell was in his first 12 round fight and wasn't supposed to show up against Froch. I think he did enough to win the fight but not enough to erase doubt with the judges. He needed a more solid lead ... the rounds in between were too close to call and I think Froch got the 12th which was bull****.
