Bunch of great points in this thread...but all we have to do is look it up on boxrec, that will tell you who won for all that really matters. For those thinking it was a rip, not to worry he got two points for the win and it's not like he'll be getting any if very many more. Remember froch did win but look at who it was againt, a fighter with a handfull of fights, and almost all of them against guys no one knows. Good to get a victory but i think it will be short lived. I doubt direll since the olympics has even been out of the country to visit somewhere else let alone fight there. He handled the pressure and fighting past i think like the 10th against a champ for the first time.
