I thought Dirrell won and what's interesting is that I listened to the fight on UK Radio and even they thought Dirrell won and they are generally very biased towards UK fighters. I mean, they had Hatton ahead against Mayweather at the time of stoppage (I ain't making this up lol) and another thing normally the crowd is a good guide to how the hometown fighter is doing and the crowds silence was DEAFENING. I think all Froch has going for him is a good chin and durability. He could EASILY have lost his last three fights (Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell) god knows how he is still unbeaten. I think Froch is an accident waiting to happen.
He tries to do that *Hands held low* thing, but he doesn't have quick enough reactions to evade punches nor he is quick enough with his own punches to be a counter puncher. He didn't know how to cut down a ring when faced with quick opponent because his foot work is to slow. He keeps on with that *One punch at a time* thing, but he doesn't hit hard enough nor is accurate enough to get away with it.
People will be fooled by the '0' he still has but to me. I think technically, he is the worst boxer in the tournament.
