Slightly off topic, but I still can't believe that Massimo Barrovecchio scored both 11 and 12 for Froch...
BOXINGTALK
I think its easy to sit here and say what these guys could have done better, but Dirrel fought a really awkward guy and did pretty well, I think he could have thrown more punches, but once again, we aren't in there, and there is a reason Froch has been so effective up to this point in his career. I think Dirrell fought a guy who is super hard to box because Froch is an ok counter puncher, he comes in wildly, and he's extremely effective on the inside while Dirrell is anyhting but an inside fighter.
To me rounds 11 and 12 were clear Dirrel rounds. Early rounds maybe not as clear but 11 and 12 especially 11 were clearly dirrels
....i think back to his last couple of fights and say that's what he could have done. Look for direll never fighting anyone, going to that crazy ass arena, getting used to the time change enviroment etc.....he did pretty good. Seems like he was really concerned with getting tired towards the end and was real real conservative with his punches and risk taking. He's never fought no where near 12 rounds before and seeing what happened to taylor again i think that might have even worried him more. Most think he did do enough to win. He hit, didn't really get hit, hurt froch, withstood bullshit ref'ing and was taken an unjust point. Dude did fine. Froch won that fight before either of them even got to the ring. Judges proved that. That's why you leave it out of thier hands in that situation at all costs.

Froch is a lucky man. He could have EASILY have lost his last three fights. I thought Dirrell won and the ironic thing is, if Dirrell would have stood and traded with Froch I thought he could have knocked him out. Froch is no big-hitter.
