Come out of retirement and knock this asshole out Froch.

Edwin Rodriquez up next, dirty one. They should name him Chunky. Bet he blew weight again:-X
Good fight that was, really was expecting Dirrell to win it. 114-112 was about right. The Canadian judge must've had his view obstructed by another fight. DeGale had to finish strongly to get it, and I'm glad it didn't come down to that dodgy second knockdown that I thought was harsh.
Pretty much spot on that post, you have to give it to Dirrell, he looked like he was going to get blown away after that second round but he did well to get back into it and keep it a really close fightQuote:

He already did twice.Quote:

Rodriguez won. Baker wasn't even in trouble; just taking shots on the gloves along the ropes.
DeGale ;D Rodriquez gets tko after loading up about 8 right hands, Craig baker still defending and no signs of hurt. Disoriented Ref just stumbles in and stops it without saying a word in 3rd.Quote:

Flippin hell. That surely was not the Dirrell I was thinking of.Quote:

Good fight and well done long boat. Bloody almost blew it though. I'm sure he didn't throw one straight left hand, even in orthodox stance.
Really glad Degale won, I was hoping he was saving up for the last couple of rounds. Maybe that Canadian judge was judging foul language too.Quote:

One of you Brits should talk to Degale about slowing down during the middle rounds, there's a fine line between exciting and torturous fights. That close of a fight is more torture than excitement, in my opinion. lol
I agree with you about the stoppage, and maybe the ref is past his pull date, but the fault has to be shared by the fighter too. I was thinking, he better watch out the ref might stop the fight, and he did. Letting your opponent bang you around on the ropes is a stupid thing to do, especially when you are a little known fighter.Quote:

293-170=123, what's the big deal? Lol
I agree, but you have to wonder what the hell was Baker thinking when he was leaning against the ropes letting his opponent bang away? Was he thinking I look good, I'm really scoring points now, or was he just not thinking? Not being a well known fighter, he made a mistake when he expected the ref to give him the benefit of the doubt. It happens, but not to Baker again I'm thinking.Quote:

I agree with you though about bakers mindset. Baker should have had the impression that this was a free promo for Rodriguez, and been trying to play spoiler. I thought the 2 big shots that landed before that(3 if you count the last grazing shot) might have put barker In a bad position but he seemed to be weathering the storm and waiting for Rodriguez to gas. I definitely wouldn't have gambled with the no frills officials overseeing the bout.Quote:

O'Sullivan
Dirrell went down 3 times in the second, the replays were only showing 2, the second one they were showing was clearly not a knockdown and the first 2 were in my opinion :)Quote:

@Gandalf mate, I think Degale was suffering with stamina problems as he just couldn't apply himself. Whether it was due to over training or not, I'm not sure.
I wouldn't mind seeing Froch trying to win his old belt back. Don't think he would have fancied going after Dirrell again but now the GGG fight can wait ;D
Nah, I imagine it is because Degale is a basic fighter and ran out of ideas. Are you guys back home really getting hyped by Degale? He's a bit shit really.
I don't give DeGale much of a chance against Ward. How bout you guys?
Ward is starting again but even De Gale said he is behind Ward but left out Froch in his list. They could fight one another.Quote:
