It was a bit Clottey-esque.
This. I thought Dirrell won comfortably, but if he'd just put the effort he put into the last 2 1/2 rounds into the rest of the fight, no one would be able to dispute it & he might well have KO'd Froch (although I'm convinced the European judges would have still found a way to give it to Froch).
