Dirrell deserved to lose. Fact.

[skel1983]

Like I have said I scored the fight big for Dirrell, but what makes me laugh is some of are American friends, im not tarnishing you all with the same brush but lets be honest here Dirrell made Hatton look like a novice when it came to the hugging stakes!!

Now lets imagine it was a Brit who stunk the joint out like that last night we wouldnt have heard the fucking end of it!!

Pisses me off sumtimes it's one rule for fighter in from a part of the world and then it's a different one for another fighter from another part of the world.


On another note if Taylor sits out the rest of the tourny apparently Alan Green will be his replacement which I am not happy with hes fucking shit for starters, and he has done absolutly nothing in his career apart from get stopped by the limited Miranda.

Doesn't matter who refs the fight but it does seem to matter WHERE the fight takes place.

Who does Froch have next? I hope they knock him the fuck out

[Spicoli]

I thought Dirrell won it and Froch should be kicking himself in the backside for not going all out for it.Still trying to digest Showtimes comparisons to Jones jr....Waaay to early to be putting an "S" on his chest for me and at times looked flimsy.

[Youngblood]

I'm not saying Froch won. I think he lost. But you're not gonna win a boring, ugly, messy fight in the other guys backyard.

Dirrell only has himself to blame. You deserve to get punched in the back of the head if you keep turning/ducking.

Lyle, the ref wasn't from England just like he wasn't in that other fight you're reffering to - you muppet.

I do agree with this to a point. Direll was making it so Froch had almost no chance of it not happening. But damn, he coulda maybe thrown an uppercut or hook or something in...not haymakers coming from the roof atleast every single time lol They prob would have been more effective.

Froch is shit, slow, has overrated power and an overrated "grainite" chin. We all knew that beforehand.

But he "won"

Dirrell/Team Dirrell couldn't have expected to win being that negative though. If so they are a very naive outfit. And got what they deserved.

He won with a bad decision and lost a lot of respect, Froch has terrible skills and everyone knows it and he has no chance of winning the tourney. The family is not naive, if you watched the fight you would know his trainer told him he would not get a decision here and needed a KO. I love that first post from you quoted below.

"Dirrell won the fight but it would have been a travesty had Froch lost."

The travesty is the guy who actually landed some punches lost on the cards.

[OumaFan]

There were a lot of times where he was punching to the back of the head when Dirrell wasn't even ducking or anything. And even then you should not be allowed to cock your arm up in the air and punch down onto the back of a guy's head Something tells me that's illegal.

But Skel I have no issue with the ref taking a point from Dirrell for holding. Hell take one earlier and keep taking them if he keeps doing it consistently. But you could tell clear as day there was only one fighter the ref was paying attention too. That's pretty obvious when you warn a guy after he's punched in the back of the head four or five times. The ref doesn't have to be British to be incrompetent.

[Pugilistic]

Dirrell may of ran and clinched but he did land more punches and was busier in most of the rounds.

All Froch did was hit air and fight dirty plus practice his judo.

Froch can't win the fight based on clinching less.

Dirrell deserved a clear decision win imo.

[El Kabong]

....what a satisfying feeling it'll be watching Froch get dismantled by Kessler. That is who he's scheduled to fight next correct?

that's utter bullshit, and it's what's wrong with boxing today, just cause the fight was in Froch's hometown doesn't mean that the shitty dirty fucker should of got the win, the fight was utter crap, but that doesn't change the fact that Froch was outboxed by a guy who hasn't even had 20 pro fights yet, FACT

Probably because Dirrell was boring the ref to tears as well as everyone else.

Yep boxing is an ugly unjust business.

They would have been better off telling him beforehand he wont win a decision fighting so negative instead of telling him he needs a KO in the 12th.

See, proves my point, totally naive.

i honestly don't see Froch beating anyone else in the tourney except maybe Taylor in a rematch, other than that i see Ward, Kessler, and Abraham all beating him, hell i'd even pick Dirrell over him in a rematch

Dirrell would get hometown advantage in a rematch which would mean Froch NEEDS a KO. Froch does have a proven history of getting KO's when imperative - as proven against Taylor.

Yeah, Dirrell-Froch rematch you'd have to favour Froch, when you give it some serious thought

unless he picks up a Tyson/Seldon like KO, i don't see it happening all Froch hit all night like when he wasn't banging away at the back of Dirrell's head was air, and that's all he'd hit in a rematch, Froch has already been horribly outboxed two fights back to back, he's garbage
