How do judges score fights in EUrope?

[DAWGSWIN]

I was rooting for AD, and can make an argument for his victory, but I don't have a huge issue with this decision. The ref ultimately made no difference.

I dont get it. This is the BIGGEST robbery I have EVER seen in this sport. These are the type of fights that turn people off of boxing.

At most you could give Froch 3 rounds.

You cant of seen much boxing matches then mate.I thought Dirrel won by 2/3 rounds but it was his own fault he needed to do abit more which he could of but he chose not to.

[GuyIncognito76]

I could quite happily never watch another Dirrell fight for the rest of my life!

If you scored the first couple of rounds even then I think Dirrell pipped it, but if you score them to Froch because Dirrell is jumping around the ring (whilst I admit his reactions were first rate) trying to avoid a fight then he pipped it.

Either way it was a terrible fight, and actually I do want to see see Dirrell fight again because Abraham is going to catch him and knock him sparko. Oh but dear Lord, can you imagine how quickly he's going to run away from AA

Kessler/Froch will be a cracker though and seeing as Carl has Abraham after that he may well end up with just the two points. I still think he'll be in the semis though as I can see Taylor and Dirrell losing all three. *Edit* Taylor and Dirrell are due to face each other in round three so obviously that can't happen. Allan Green is the stanby fighter, apparently, should Taylor, or anyone else, pull out of the tournament.

Dirrel did an awful lot of holding,he was doing a great job at messing Froch around just needed afew more combinations from him instead of been on the run all time and i recon he would of got the win.

Two quotes:

Froch: "If you're not going to stand and fight like a man, like a warrior, then all I can do is take what's there."

Dirrell: "I thought I held him off enough, boxed him enough to get a decision."


I thought I held him off enough?! You don't score points for dodging punches.

The guy compares himself to Roy Jones, and I'll admit he's halfway there as he looks like RJJ going backwards!



Grrr... not been this annoyed with a fighter since Sven Ottke

LOL fuck off, do you really think he came and beat the title off of Froch?

Unreal!

[JonesJrMayweather]

Yeah dirrel looked clumsy and off balance all night don't really have a problem with the decision only thing was the the stupid point deduction ... but dirrel has super weak legs which might be why even though landed flush on froch he never really hurt him. Dirrel has no power, had a young Roy jones connected with a few of the rights Dirrel landed, Froch would have been snoring inside of 5...

I felt like this tourney was too soon for both the Andre-s they're too green.

Scoring for judges in Europe and Canada

Homeboy: hold and duck 10-10

Homeboy: If homeboy punches ( even in air) 10-9

Homeboy:If homeboy punches and connects (not on ref): 10-8

Away dude: TKO the homeboy = find reason for no decision

Away dude: KO the homeboy = we have a draw ( in dying seconds of rounds, delay the count endlessly)

fuck me if it aint true

How many fights have you seen that were held in Canada?

One bad decision does not mean that the entire country is corrupt (the same goes for Europe but on a larger scale). Robberies/bad decision can and do happen in every country.

[Fenster]

They sit ringside. They give 10 points to the winner of the round. 9 points to the loser. 8 points if the loser has been knocked down. When instructed by the ref they deduct points.

Hope this helps.

[smashup]

Dirrel had mad reflexes but never really engaged at all.

Froch forced the fight and did enough.

Think Kessler will be too much for Froch though as he'll stand and trade.

That one goes right off

Two of the biggest robberies i witnessed were'nt in europe but in the USA.
I seen jeff fenech handing Azumah Nelson a good hiding and not getting the decision and lennox lewis beating mr holyfield soundly and not getting the decision. Its not just europe has bad judges, nevadas full of them

Andre "run and hold like a bitch" Dirrell has deserved a draw against Carl"hit in the neck"Froch

[iwng100]

1. I don’t agree with the title of this thread, $hit happens everywhere.

2. There are four criteria in scoring fights:
- Clean punching
- Effective aggression
- Ring generalship
- Defense
(me too I hope this help)
I believe some of the judges don’t care to much about clean punching; Dirrell fought like a , but in the end he land a lot more clean punches.

3. I know style makes fights, but if FRoch and Dirrell will fight like yesterday in their next bout then it will be a walk in the park for Abraham and Kessler.
