Dirrell deserved to lose. Fact.

[amat]

LOL, ALL FROCH DOES IS GO FOR THE KO. And he does it with 1 shot. oh yeah, he has that "jab." They could fight 100 times and Froch would win maybe 2 times last fight included as a win. Dirrell is CLEARLY a better fighter, whenever you have rematches you have to go with the better fighter. Froch didn't even buzz him, he didn't come close. What a joke Fenster, at least I hope that's what it is. Even the most ardent Froch supporter knows that it's Dirrell, not Froch, who is likely to fight a better fight next time. He has more adjustments to make to work in his favor, no way.

haha that made me laugh. What has been missing from Froch's last three fights though has been the uppercut. Prior to the Pascal fight his trademark was to hang his hands low, invite his opponent to come in and then sucker them with a devastating uppercut, it was beautiful to see.

His last few fights he's not had the opportunity, partly I think because his opponents don't ever want to come to him, and partly because against fighters better than our domestic plodders he looks he's punching in water.

The on factor in Froch's favour is that the old sayings are speed kills and the better, faster boxer will beat the brawler type etc. Well Froch in last two fights has fought the two fastest, slickest fighters he may ever face and he's still unbeaten which means something.

Its a bit like Chavez really, he was completely outboxed by Meldrick Taylor in the first fight but caught up with him late, and battered him in the rematch.

Froch may be that kind of fighter (not saying he is as good, just the type of fighter he is).

I look forward immensely to his fight with Kessler. On paper Kessler does everything right whereas Froch does everything wrong so Kessler should win it easily.

But he won't be running like the others so maybe Froch can get into more....

I wouldn't write him off yet, although I have little doubt that Andre Ward will win the tournament.

Hunter gave you an answer, if Froch would have tried that uppercut against any of the guys in this tournament then that would spell very bad for him. I literally laughed when people raved about his uppercut in the past, by ditching it Froch showed he wasn't as stupid as perhaps I thought he was.

I am SHOCKED by the backlash. To think that Juan Diaz got all the shit he got for beating Malignaggi and for the judges getting the scores RIGHT, and the backlash has been all negative towards Dirrell not Froch. I guess Dirrell can take solace in the fact that he is the better fighter but he is a bit of a...character so maybe he won't. I didn't think my dislike for Froch could be escalated. He should move to MMA.

The majority still feel Dirrell won, myself included by a wide margin no less, but everything has been said already. The Froch fans are not going to budge as I am not willing to budge. At the end of the day Froch landed nothing and was exposed for what he is a man with minimal boxing skills and slow and maybe even has a punch that isn't as "massive" as we all thought, as the couple clean punches he did land didn't even phase Dirrell who has a "questionable" chin.

Can only beat a dead horse for so long, the Froch fans have more to prove as far as I am concerned

Froch did try the uppercut and Dirrell caught him cleanly, I wish Froch would have thrown it more
