The difference between the Hopkins - Calzaghe fight and the Froch - Dirrell fight is Calzaghe's aggression was actually effective as he threw more than Hopkins and was able to land some shots especially as the fight went on.
Froch on the other hand came forward but threw less than Dirrell the whole fight and landed literally nothing.
Exactly, I thought Hopkins just edged Calzaghe, but supporting Joe, I had no real problem it going the other way. However, that was a fight with a lot of close rounds where it came down to activity or cleaner effective punching. The difference was both were landing.
I'm pretty sure Froch threw less & definitely landed less. This fight should be compared to fights like Berto-Urango & Khan-Kotelnik. It was in no way comparable to JMM-Pac II or B-Hop-Joe
The only people that are gonna pick Froch are only picking him because Dirrell doesn't have a style they like.
But whether you like Dirrells style or think it's boring or whatever you want to believe, it doesn't take away that he won the fight whether you like it or not.
And also after he got that point taken away HE was the one backing up Froch, he was the one making the fight, he was the one going all out while Froch looked confused especially after Dirrell hurt him, and continued to hurt him.
It's funny how no one mentions that. They mention Dirrells holding but don't mention Froch's holding, and rough housing and rabbit punches, and there were times it looked like he was winding up those rabbit punches and lets not forget the hitting on the break and the ref did nothing. He warned Froch a bunch of times but then took a point from Dirrell without any warning whatsoever.
You are only picking Froch because you don't like Dirrells style. But boxing ain't about what style you like when it comes to a decision. Dirrell won the fight and he won it pretty one sidedly. Whether you like the way he did it or not doesn't mean Froch won. Because if you are complaining on somethin Dirrell did then how can you give Froch credit for not being able to do shit about it?
Dirrell won. Simple as that. And I'll pick Dirrell in any of the other fights before I pick Froch.

Like that would of mattered. Soon as Fraud would of hit the canvas the bell would of rang early and Fraud's corner would of rushed in to help him. Some how it would of been ruled a slip. I seen this shiit happen in Europe before. Don't make a fool of yourself by denying it hasn't. It's the most corrupt continent in the whole fukkin world.
