Good decision.

Some might like runners and huggers.

I don't.

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.

There was only one person who wanted to fight seriously.

Hey, if you like the way Dirrel fights, that's fine.

Personally, I like boxing, not cycling, running or wrestling.

It's a fight.

No, it's a boxing match. And Direll showed MUCH better boxing skills throughout the match.

Fair enough. I guess it's whatever style you like.

But if Direll fighted a similar style boxer, I wouldn't be shelling out for PPV!

Yea it'sa fight, and Froch got outboxed, all fight. Whether he is going forward or backwards, he still outlanded and outboxed consistantly more. Trying to rewrite the rules of boxing as Froch is trying suggest...'this is what the fans wanted to see'...is that how it goes? well, yea, they are homers, ofc they want him to win. Try asking the fans around the world.

Hold on? You want to see either of them fight like that again? That was an awful fight.

what point are you trying to make? how does if it was a good fight or not affect who should win it?

Well Froch saying the fans wanted to see a fight. You seem to be suggesting that what Dirrell did tonight was fight. And he didn't. I honestly didn't see him do much more than Carl in there. Wish this was HBO so we could get some instant punchstats. I don't understand the fuss here. That was hardly a robbery. Neither of them did anything of note. I feel shortchanged because performances like this are why fans turn away from boxing.

[Saddo]

kinda leaves a bad taste... both fighters deserved the loss IMO...

luckly for us they were only fighting to see who gets 5th and 6th place.

best moment of the night had to be the crotch comment

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

They both defenetly did little but i think Dirrell landed cleaner and better shots and defenetly landed more.
So i think Dirrell was robbed.

Pretty much my opinion. I think people are preoccupied with saying Carl will fail because he is so easy to be outboxed and misses wildy.

So they see him miss and claim he's losing the fight. But that isn't the whole story, yes he's missing a lot but for most of the fight he was the only one fighting.

He won ugly and his style was exposed again, but he still did more work. You have to beat a man to beat a man and dodging a punch and holding doesn't mean you are scoring more than the man throwing the punch.

I mean you get points for defence and also points for aggression is how I always understood it.

Dirrell got points for defence and making Froch look wild, Froch got points for aggression and making the fight, it balances out.

You can't really say Froch was beat because Dirrell didn't do much.

He had a couple of very good rounds imo and hurt Froch once, but I don't have a problem with Froch winning the majority of the others because Dirrell although he made Froch look silly didn't follow up with anything at all himself.

Jeez, seriously, Direll's defence was great, but holding constantly and running isn't what I would call consistently outboxing an opponent.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Froch was great in any way. Dirrel had a spoiler plan and did a good job.

But I won't be buying Direl's back catelogue of fights any time soon.

Well if it makes you feel any better...I think Froch is total shit and should have been deducted more then 1 pt, late blows, rabbit punches, and still lost in spite of all of that, as you'll prob find the majority agrees. So I guess we are even there in disrespect for styles. And I can safely tell you I didn't have a favorite going in. Did you?

It's a fight.

if someone lands 3 punches and then literally starts doing laps around the ring full speed non stop for the remainder of the rd and isnt hit they still out landed the opponent


also clinching doesnt detract from the punches you land... thats what the point deduction is for (not that it was warranted)


its not up to the judges to decide someone is holding too much and start ignoring punches they land
