Who won? Froch? Or Dirrell?

[J_C]

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.

[Fenster]

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.

[OumaFan]

Dirrell 9-3 but a point taken off and I'm not good at math. Dirrell had more points.

[CFH]

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.

120-108 Froch not even close.

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.

Well direct me to the eye store

Dirrell landed more punches

Dirrell's punches were cleaner, sharper, crisp and accurate

Dirrell was the better defender

Dirrell had froch on rubber legs 2x compared 0 times

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

So... how do you have Froch winning without a SINGLE decent shot. Cuz Dirrell could have finished him off in the 11th had he some more experience.

Because Froch's punches had the potential to score IF they landed. Simple as.

[Galaxy]

I had Dirrell by at least 2 rounds! It wasn't pretty & he didn't do much but he did more than Froch!

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

[Tysonbruno]

Froch won the fight Dirrell was a bit of a joke he ran he paniced he moaned constantly to the ref had Carl not been going forward their wouldn't have been a fight it was close but no way did Dirrell do enough to take the belt off the champ in his backyard.

People may disagree, but I don't think the fact that Froch was champion or fighting in his home town should have any bearing on the result. Agreed Dirrell ran and was frustrating, but if he won more rounds he should get the decision and all other factors don't count (imo)

I agree. It's one of the most ridiculous things in all of sports and it makes boxing look like a farce. Imagine if in football (American) the visiting team has to win by more than a field goal to get the victory, the sport would instantly lose its credibility.
