Who won? Froch? Or Dirrell?

[CFH]

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.
