    I've never claimed that Froch won, only that I understand why he did, or why Dirrell didnt. If it helps I'll tick the Dirrell option so you can feel better about all of this?

    Again, I think its naive, and also giving judges way too much credit to assume that they use the four criteria you mentioned to score rounds. Effective aggression means coming forward landing punches. Well I think its fair to say that Froch covered the coming forward part. How many punches does he have to land? Is it one per round that he's coming forward, does he have to land one every time he comes forward to make it count? By the way I dont buy all this Froch only landed one punch crap, and no Im not going to sit through a slow motion replay to prove it.

    Actually scratch that part about effective aggression, its getting boring now.

    The facts are that despite protesting this so strongly and asking what Froch did to win repeatedly, you yourself gave him 5 rounds. The people That counted (or two of them) saw him winning a couple more
    Ok so using the four point system we came up with the same score as a matter of fact it was the same score that the judge from Mexico had.
    Maybe it's not so ambiguous after all.

    I believe you think the effective aggression part is "boring now" because
    you understand it now and realize it's not what you thought it was earlier
    which was something that couldn't be judged until later in the fight (I
    assume you are referring to damage taken).

    I never claimed it was a robbery, but the reasons people were giving
    for Froch winning were what I was taking issue with. Yes I believe
    Froch won 5 rounds, yes it was a close fight, yes it was a dirty fight.
    I have been consistent throughout and your final judgement helped my
    point. My point is trying to make it a fight is not a basis for winning a
    fight, to make a more extreme example Mayweather was the challenger
    against Baldomir. Baldomir was trying to make it a fight and walking
    forward for 12 rounds did he deserve the nod?

    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
