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.

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.

[Violent Demise]

Fraud's mom was crying ringside. His girlfriend was already taking her panties off in Dirrell's locker room. Even they knew Fraud lost

[Cortez The Killer]

Dirrell should've won. But a lot of things come down to how well you present yourself, and its true you dont win belts with a cry baby attitude.

I think Dirrell will own the division in a few years anyway. He looks like p4p material.

From what I saw, it will be very hard for Dirrell to get a decision anywhere against Abraham.

[Kirkland Laing]

Abraham is fighting Dirrell in America. I think Abraham will watch that and be thinking he has to knock Dirrell out or he'll lose on the cards.

GROUP STAGE 2
ANDRE DIRREL vs. ARTHUR ABRAHAM
MIKKEL KESSLER vs. CARL FROCH
JERMAIN TAYLOR vs. ANDRE WARD
GROUP STAGE 3
ANDRE DIRRELL vs. ANDRE WARD
CARL FROCH vs. ARTHUR ABRAHAM
MIKKEL KESSLER vs. JERMAIN TAYLOR


If Taylor does fight again it means Ward still gets three fights at home.
