Your Froch-Dirrell scorecards....

get over it

 

Why, when was the last time an arguement on the internet changed anybodies opinion?

 

I am over it. I'm satisfied Dirrell landed 90% of the good punches in the fight.

He lost because he held and Froch looked tough despite not landing anything (except for a few flicking jabs, a left hook in the 8th, and blows to the side of Dirrell's head in the clinch).

While being over it, I am still always happy to correct the record.

 

Direll was doing laps round the ring and then only stopped to cry and ***** to the referee...

no way he desrved to leave nottingham a chmpion!!

 

How is this relevant to discuss? It was a very close "fight", you shouldn't have a problem with the result, cause Dirrell didn't bring his best and he was so nervoud it ruined the bout. No winner in this one IMO, though if I had to score it I would have given it to Dirrell by the smallest of margins, not that he deserved the belt though.

 

This -

You dont take a mans title by motoring around the ring rather than engaging and continously moaning to the ref all the time .

 

WTF does that have to do with anything? Be bitter if you must but don't be racist for the sake of it.

Anyway, presumably since you think Dirrell won then that crowd helped Froch get the win?

 

I'm Irish so can hardly be accused of being biased here. Dirrell was too negative even though it was very tight. If they fought again and Direll got himself straighted out and mentally focused and heavily motivated...meh.....too many if's

 

I had it 8-4, for Dirrell.

 

Even tough I'm a Froch fan, I tough Dirrell won. It wasn't even that close to be honest. Dirrell clearly won this fight.

Here's my scorecard:

I cant remember now, it was a while ago but i think i had Dirrell by 2 or 3 rounds. I think Froch was schooled in the early rounds until Dirrell changed what he was doing but that early work was enough for him to score higher on the cards.

what exactly does white trash mean? I dont even understand that phrase.

 

115-112 dirrell with the point deductedJ

 

114-113 Froch, 6 rounds apiece with the point deduction making the difference.

Dirrell is infuriating to watch, he is perhaps the most physically gifted boxer in the game but he lacks a fighters mentality and seems terrified of getting hit. The OP mentioned Froch fighting dirty - what about Dirrell's constant holding, ducking below the waist, turning his back (the reason for Carl's rabbit punching) and his speciality of miraculously 'slipping' every time Froch tried to fight out of a clinch?
