How do judges score fights in EUrope?

I had Dirrell winning it by 2 rounds. But he has no real room to complain, he needed to do more. A throughly unsatisfing fight. If it was for a vacant title then i could see why Dirrell would feel hard done by, but the fact is it was for Froch's belt, so the decision is understandable.
My friend, who is a very casual fan, thought Dirrell was robbed, but he doesn't understand certain boxing conventions, such as in very even rounds the benefit should go to the aggressor, and that you need to take the title from the champ, not steal it. Then again perhaps the win should go to the guy that does better, regardless of who has the belt.
Anyway, i think Dirrell has a big future, he can rectify the mistakes from last night as they werent due to a lack of talent.

Well yes perhaps the win SHOULD go to the guy that does better, but Dirrell knows that when your trying to win a title you almost always need to do a bit more than other guy and when you are not the aggressor in the champs hometown you really need to totally outclass him and that he did not do!

Don't get me wrong mate, i absolutely agree with you. Was just looking at it through the eyes of the casual observer for a moment.
