    I've watched it, you tool. I watched it with no agenda as i'm not a fan of either. The fact you've rewatched it numerous times when it was a pretty awful fight suggests that you are obviously a fan of one of the fighters (can't guess which) and most likely have quite an agenda on the subject. And again, i do think Dirrell won personally but it wasn't a robbery. A robbery is when a guy wins at least 7 or 8 rounds BIG and doesn't get the nod. That doesn't describe this fight.

    I thought Dirrell won the fight. Luckily, he's in this tournament so he'll have an opportunity to make up for it. If Dirrell beats Abraham(I think Abraham wins by stoppage), and Ward, he'll be considered by many to be the top man in the division.

    Whats funny is the majority of Froch fans were talking about how Froch was gonna blast him out, how Froch was gonna dominate him. Instead Froch was made to look like an amatuer, and if they fought again the vast majority of boxig fans would pick Dirrell, most probably by stoppage.

    Other than ineffective aggression by Froch there is nothing that he had done to deserve a win!!!

    1.Dirrell landed the cleaner shots
    2.Dirrell hurt Froch
    3.Dirrell out boxed Froch
    4.Dirrell made Froch miss all night
    5.Dirrell never used "dirty" tatics
    6.Dirrell was never hurt

    Let you or anyone debate me on those 6 points and I guarantee I prove you wrong!!!

    I ask you to prove me wrong on any of those points and I'll shut my mouth!!!!!!

    You watched it once, damn near 5 months ago. Its not a horrible fight, only Froch fans say that. Especially rounds 10-11-12 when Dirrell was giving Froch a beating around the ring.
    A robbery can be as close as 7-5. If won fighter won 7 rounds clearly, then its a robbery regardless of how close it is. Again you dont know how to score boxing if you had Froch win more then 4 rounds. Period. He landed nothing, all the best punches were landed by Dirrell and Dirrell even hurt him atleast once visibly.

    Sad part is if Dirrell actually DID trade with Froch he probably would have knocked him out or at least down.

    Well, clearly there is no point debating with you on this. You enjoy rewatching this ugly fight over and over again and getting yourself angrier that the fighter you were supporting didn't win, i'll enjoy watching decent fights instead.

    I had Dirrell by a round on a close, ugly fight. Plenty of press guys had it for Froch and, I believe, so did Tarver. It was a close fight that Dirrell threw away by looking like he didn't want to fight.

    He waited till the final third before he actually tried to fight and looked great doing so. But he allowed Froch to dictate the pace and manner of the bout. Instead of complaining about the fouls - go and do something about it.

    Is it unusual to be mad that your fighter got jobbed? Hell British fans still ***** that Lewis drew with Holyfield in that boring affair.

    Again it wasnt that boring. I can name many more boring fights last year then that one.

    How did Froch dictate the pace of the fight? Dirrell was able to go anywhere he wanted, countered where he wanted, and defend when he wanted.


    Coming forward sloppy winging punches is not controlling the pace. :lol::lol:

    And how are you supposed to do something about rabbit punching and body slams? What fighter today wouldnt complain against that?

    6 rounds a piece can't be assed to dig up my scorecard but i've already posted it

    Anyone who thinks Froch didn't win more than 4 rounds can't score for ****.

    Impossible. Honestly I've tried.

    If you gave Froch 6 rounds I dont know what to tell you. Apparently you get points for missing punches.

    I don't really know how you don't give each fighter at least 5, 6, or may'be even 7 rounds. Watch those first five rounds, those are all swing rounds and could have gone either way. Froch clearly won rounds 6 and 7 (I think, not exactly sure which rounds, but there were a couple of rounds in the middle that were clear Froch rounds) rounds 9, 10, and 11 were clear Dirrell rounds (Again not exactly sure of the rounds, but towards the end there were about 2 or 3 clear Dirrell rounds) and Froch took the 12th. Even Dirrell admited that. It was a close fight either way, there was no robbery people, but people think Dirrell beat up Froch just because he looked good towards the end and landed the "big" punch of the fight.
