I hadn't seen Dirrell fight before but wow this guy can box. That's right BOX, in the sport of BOXING. Not fucking standing infront of your opponent like a retard hoping to get a knockout which is what Froch has tried to do now in his last 3 fights. The only props I could give Froch in this fight were his incredible fitness - to stay in and force the fight for 12 rounds despite throwing punches and getting caught constantly with flashy counters and an effective jab he still looked dangerous until the final bell. He also showed good sportsmanship by showing Dirrell respect by waiting for the judges verdict post fight.

I accept that Dirrell held a little too much, but given the type of fighter he was facing who is dangerous on the inside who can blame him?. Anyway, from what I saw it resulted in Dirrell holding because Froch was throwing big swinging hooks which ended up missing and then getting too close for comfort. Dirrell should've had more confidence in his chin and his own power because he clearly hurt Froch in the 11th which was the only time either fighter was hurt.

Here's my take on the fight:
Round 1: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 2: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 3: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 4: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 5: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 6: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 7: 10 - 9 Froch
Round 8: 10 - 9 Froch
Round 9: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 10: 9 - 9 DRAW (for the crap point deduction and the fact Dirrell otherwise won this round)
Round 11: 9 - 10 Dirrell
Round 12: 9 - 10 Dirrell

Dirrel wins in my book 117 - 110

Had any other decent ref oversaw this fight Froch would've been deducted a point aswell - you could argue either for the throw to the floor in round 5, the constant punching after the break or the hitting around the back of the head. Dirty fucker. Almost as dirty as his slag of a girlfriend for the "he's fighting like a faget" comment. She clearly knows her boxing doesn't she.
I'd send this bollocks off to Don King and he'll make sure you're judging one of his fighters next bouts.
think he`s getting andre dirrell confused with arthur abraham

otherwise the guys a full fledged retard!
don't see how anyone could have had Dirrell that far ahead nor Abraham so if you had AA that far ahead, guess you and Darth have a bit in common, goin by your logic

Direll did hold an moved alot but when he moved he quickly re-positioned his self in a fighting stance so that does not constitute running. The moving and holding was a result of Froch being a damn good and strong fighter, But u must land punches to win fights and he did not. Direll 8-4 or at the most 7-5.
i agree with most of what you said, but Dirrell himself said he held on to Froch cause he was fighting dirty as fuck, and anyone who tries to deny it is crazy, but i agree Dirrell should have won 8 rnds to 4
