Dirrell deserved to lose. Fact.

[ElTerribleMorales]

they both deserved the loss IMO...

its not really that important as both have no chance of winning this thing.

For me Abraham has the easiest fight draw missing Ward and Kessler that can't be right.

True.

They should have both been chucked out for boring everyone to death at 3am in the morning.

I cant belive what you say.Froch was right on his game,he fought a guy that came over here NOT to fight!He ran his ass off for the full twelve,he was elusive,quick and a potential banana skin.
He was unbeaten and very well respected in the States but he never came to fight.
I was at the fight and to me it was an accomplished tactical performance with the correct result.(no way a split decision)
Froch can take a punch,he can end a fight in a split second and against Jean Pascal produced one of the fights of the year.
It's plain to see that your not a fan which maybe clouds your true view.
Froch does 12 rounds with ease and will still drop an opponent in the twelth.
Wakey wakey it's 2.40am!Obviously a little too late for you or your depth of boxing knowledge does not deserve the mantle that you attempt to portray

it was only 10 over here and i don't know what fight you were watching, Froch is a dirty bastard and his name should never be paired with the word tactical, cause all he did was fight dirty and swing and miss, and eat up any leather that Dirrell was willing to throw, he swept the first 4, gave away the next 2 and pretty much won every single round afterwards, rocking the hell out of Froch for the last 2 rounds, the fight was crap and it was the perfect example of a hometown decision, it was just as bad or worse than the Houston scorecards for Diaz/Malignaggi, at least you could make a case that Diaz won, although not by those scores, but no way in hell did Froch win that fight, he's utter garbage and an embarrassment

I agree with Saddo on this, neither guy should be considered champ after that. Dirrell showed that when he chose to open up with combinations Froch had no chance skill wise, unfortunately most of the fight he spent running in to hug and run away, which is frustrating, because with his hand speed it looked to me like he could have had an easy night of it.

Froch was delusional thinking that he did enough to win as well though, just because you are coming forward doesn't mean you win especially when you aren't landing anything. He can get frustrated all he wants about Dirrell not standing to trade, fact is the few times that did happen Froch was on the short end of the stick in the exchange. I saw Froch land one meaningful punch that entire fight, to which Dirrell punched him back at the end and Froch withdrew.

Bottom line is Fenster is right that Dirrell deserved to lose, maybe in hind sight he will realize "maybe I should have punched him in the mouth more"

I'm not outraged by the decision, but I am extremely frustrated with Dirrell's performance, no less so than Froch's a suplex should at least merit a warning.
