Dirrell just turned the cobra into a garden snake. They better not rob him.
That wern't a bad fight. Quite a funny fight actually :)
Being extremely generous, I could see Froch winning 3 - 4 rounds at the absolute most.
Dirrell deserves this though, it could be argued that it was a shutout.
Froch got away with about ten fuckin punches to the back of dirrel's head, yeah froch held a shit ton but I'm sorry punching to the back of the head is a little more fucked up than holding, yet dirrel gets a point deducted, and yeah dirrel is getting fucked like 117-111 or some retarded shit
Froch doesn't seem too confident.
What the fuck do the people in Froch's corner look so happy about?
I'd like to take this oppurtunity to apoligize to one Jim 'rah rah boy' Lamply.You have plied your trade with great effect over the years in azz kissery and excessive hype for network fighters but my friend, you clearly have a worthy successor in Gus 'tickle that sack w/nose' Johnson.Best of luck and thanks for the memories Jim...now scoot over.Mr Johnson is all but asking for seconds and his achy knees do not detour him.
Anyway...yeah yeah.Froch lost.He earned it!Dirrell kept his head,and his feet. OHHHHH split ???
EDIT: NO WAY.All bs aside had Dirrell winning...And Johnson still sux btw
Froch lost and he knows it. Hopefully they score it right. this announcer is a stooge.
Direll didn't fight until the last 2 rounds and held all fight and froch couldn't hit the broad side of a barn door. Speed difference was at least 2 to 1. Froch looked extremely slow. You'd have to pay me to watch dirrel fight again, if that's what you call fighting. Running and holding for 10 rounds.
I think Dirrell certainly looked the more skilful, Froch was ungainly and awkward.
But Froch did all the pressing and Dirrell looked laughably scared at times leaping out the way and holding.
I can see the judges might be divided like in Toney Peter 1, some favouring the better punches from Dirrell and others
A fukking robbery. I was right!
Fukking bullshiit.
That Is Fuking Bull$hit!!!!!!!!!!!
What a load of shyte.
Bullshit win, and the tourney is pretty much ruined IMO, utter bullshit
Oh fuck no.
Sometimes I absolutely hate this sport.
Dirrell was robbed.. Froch fought a terrible fight, so much for the UK being 'fair' on judging.
starting the super 6 with a robbery? There goes some enthusiasm.
Split...bullshit.
ROBBERY! Fuckin total bullshit.
Robbery of the year?
Only way Fraud was capable of winning
Good decision.
Some might like runners and huggers.
I don't.
the thing is dirrell held like mad! I agree froch looked bad but i had it even, i just cant give a round to a man who lands 4 punches and then holds so he cant be hit. I thinbk bit of a dodgy decision but i had it even
How do you score a fight where neither man deserved the win.
Dirrell should go all Malignaggi here.
Fucking cheating pommy cunts!!
agreed lolQuote:

Froch was shown up for what he is, slow robotic, left out of position because he believes his power is so great and he loads up so much, he looked a complete novice, swinging at thin air and looked very very relieved, even all the commentators after a few biased first rounds were giving the fight to Dirrell by a couple of rounds.
I was looking forward to seeing 2 defeats for him on the trott when he faces Kessler next, hes going to get anhialated;D
Aall that shiit about him nfighting Calzaghe:rolleyes:
SOME ONE MAKE BUNCEY EAT HIS WORDS. PLEEEASE!!! :(
Wow, boxing is messed up..!
I really feel for Dirrell here. This is a terrible decision. I was cheering for Froch, but he should be embarrassed to get the win here.
I thought Dirrell won, that point deduction was uncalled for with all the stuff Froch got away with.
that really was sad :(
the UK is so desperate for a champ...
that was like combining a ref from a fight in montreal with judges from a fight in germany...
You must not like rules either. Or scoring. Why bother even having them and just give the fight to what and who we prefer and save a lot of time without stepping in the ring.Quote:

The first 8 or 9 rounds ok Froch looked awkward but what did Dirrell do apart from dodge punches?
It WAS a close fight imo, kind of like the first Sam Peter James Toney fight.
Dirrell was techinically much better and landed the better shots, but about three quarters of the fight was Froch pressing which obviosly is worth something.
The point was bullshit though, not sure if that affected the scores, I dont think it does as Froch had two 115-113 but it shouldnt have happened.
Dirrell can leave feeling he gave a good performance but too timid, Froch needs to work on a LOT though and can count himself very lucky tonight.
Dirrell is a CLASS ACT in the post fight interview though, I really hope he can bounce back from this.
Let's not make this into a uk judding thing, shit happens in the us other every weekend too, otherwise we'd have nothing to talk about half the time. I was watching on a shitty stream but looked like dirrel was outboxing froch for most of the fight with ease, and laid the leather on hard the last two rounds. Froch is getting brutalized by abraham or kess, they got chins to match their skill so they won't have to "run".
seriously? :confused:Quote:

I didn't think Froch was good and Dirrel looked good in places towards the end of the fight, but thought it was a clear Froch victory?
To be fair, Froch probably landed over 50% of the 4,000 rabbit punches that he threw to the back of Dirrell's head.Quote:
