Simple - if you watched the fight properly and scored it, who did you have winning?
I had it 116-112 Dirrell and I want to see what the general consensus is as I thought it was a clear enough victory tbh.

I don't remember Froch landing one single decent shot. In fact I don't remember him landing any shot.
I had it 120-107 for Froch.
:lol: Dirrell 9-3 but a point taken off and I'm not good at math. Dirrell had more points.
Dirrell won by at least 4 rounds. I had Froch winning only two.
Froch landed one punch...I remember it clearly, Left Hook. It was about rd 8 or something, and the announcer and crowd went crazy like it was a mad spark out. Dirrell ran from it, but it was so slow, he came back thinking the coast was clear and BLAMMO...turns out it was still being thrown. :clap:Quote:

I ain't a Froch fan but of course I root for him, I thought he deserved the win because Dirrell just ran from the fight and tried to STEAL rounds. Four or five decent trades in some rounds and he had it in the bag because he looked good when he did stand and fight.
If anyone truly thinks he did enough to take the title they may need a new pair of eyes.
Explain what Froch was doing to win rounds because all I've seen from people saying Froch should have won is 'Dirrell didn't do enough to win'. Well if he didn't, then Froch DEFINITELY didn't. The whole point of the Super-Six is trying something to save boxing. You can't do that with bullshit hometown decisions & someone having to KO the champ to have any hope of getting his title. If this had happened to a British fighter going to the US, you would be calling it what it is - a robbery.Quote:

Dirrell held and leaned a bit excessive.. Froch showed what a low class bush league cock he is with his fouling.. Desperate move by an absolute scrub of a fighter
Froch did fuck all but plod around as usual, swing for the fences fanning off the front row cause he couldnt hit water if he fell out of a boat..
Dirrell got fucked sideways and the idiots it the crowd were cheering when froch was swinging at the invisible man in the ring, cause Andre was nowere near when Carl the snail Froch loaded up.. He looked like an absolute bewildered clown, Mr confidence didnt look to sure of himself as he kneeled down with Dirrell in prayer, reminded me of how suprised Pac's face looked when the judges screwed JMM in their 2nd fight
Froch was trying to fight, as he always does, not falling to his knees to avoid getting hit and running about the place. It all goes on how you judge a fight too and for me.........Dirrell was avoiding a fight and trying to steal rounds. That's not pleasing to fans nor judges and certainly not the way to take a belt from a champion.Quote:

I know the saying about taking the belt from the champ & Dirrell should have been more active at times especially considering it was in Froch's hometown but he won the fight imo
I replied to another blind man. Read thatQuote:

I don't think you can even compare the two. That was a fight in which both guys gave their all & even though I thought JMM won, I can't call a Pac win a robbery, there were a lot of close rounds because both guys were doing a lot.Quote:

Froch-Dirrell had virtually no close rounds because one guy was doing very little & the other guy who got the win was doing absolutely FUCK ALL. I struggle to see this as even close. Massimo Barrovecchio & Daniel Van de Wiele will rank alongside Gale Van Hoye from now on in my judging shitlist.
Again, what did Froch do to win the rounds? Who was getting in the more effective punches & by what quantity?Quote:

Neither guy deserved a win. They both stunk out the joint. They don't even deserve a draw for this debacle.
