add in Froch wouldn't dare to take the rematch in a fight that he was very lucky to get a hometown decision in
That's what i meant by him not going to the US for the fight.

To be fair, it was a shit fight to score. My impression was Dirrell won it, but i'm not watching it again to score it. Fuck that. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
at the risk of sounding boring this is why i think dirrell lost

Boxing is the entertainment business, i watch it because it excites me like nothing else, dirrell made that fight what it was, such a big event for boxing, one of the worst fights i have seen, and froch did all the pushing

the clinching and the running lost dirrell the rounds significantly

Rounds don't get scored for a fighter just because he plods forward landing very little. If Froch was in any way able to cut the ring off he probably would have been able to back Dirrell into a corner and land more, which in turn would have forced Dirrell to throw more. Personally I thought Dirrell took it by a a few rounds, but I haven't watched it since and don't plan to. I agree that the fight was horrible to watch and that was mainly down to Dirrell's gameplan, but it was up to Froch to try and counter that gameplan, which is something he didn't/couldn't do
