    For some reasons, I haven't seen it and the more I read here, the more I want to see it as opinions (in general) seem to be quite polarized on both side, by now it must be on rapidshare somewhere, I find it and I try to add my 2 cents before the end of the week for sure.

    Ive seen the fight now SIX times and ive tried....ive tried so hard to see the fight in the eyes of a andre dirrell fan.

    I even resorted to giving him round 12 yet still scored the fight for froch (like i did on all previous 5 occasions)

    I cant watch the fight anymore because the more i watch it the more apparently clear it becomes that carl won the fight by 2-3 rounds, maybe even more!!

    You're right, it was a shutout. In fact, whilst we're at it, let's give Froch a TKO victory

    Let me guess....

    Hopkins beat Calzaghe
    Holyfield-Lewis I was a draw
    Taylor beat froch

    Hopkins did just edge Calzaghe imo, but it was a close fight that went the other way & I didn't care as I wanted Joe to win.

    Lewis easily beat Holyfield.

    Taylor was ahead of Froch, but it's academic as Froch KO'd him.

    Unlike you I watch fights without the Union Jack draped over me & to the tune of God Save the Queen.

    How did you have Hatton-Collazo btw?

    We all know that according to you, Hatton was in the fight with Mayweather up until Cortez robbed him of a glorious win

    So did I, had it 114-113 because of the KD, which did seem a slip. But seeing as Froch won by '2 or 3 rounds, maybe more!!!', I thought I'd find out his typically neutral & fair judgement on another close fight. One which ironically I'm sure he had no problems the close rounds going to the challenger

    And that is the key point here. I think I've seen one Non-Brit here have Froch winning. That is it!

    Just watched this and Direll won handily. The difference in quality was light years apart. Direll needs to be mentally tougher if he wants to be a world champ but really, he should be one as I type this.

    Direll's punches were cleaner, defence was better, work rate was about even. Froch didn't win in one scoring department for me.

    Horrible fight, made so because of Froch's lack of quality in stopping Direll doing what he wanted to do.

    Froch is on borrowed time - Kessler will destroy him

    Then you clearly havent looked.

    At a glance of the people voting Froch the winner I'd say its probably 40% of them are non Brits, could be wrong, could be more like 30-35, either way you slice it its more than one.

    Thats hardly the strongest of arguements is it. Anyone who thought Froch won could throw the same rant right back at you, all those that voted Dirrell the winner only did so becuase they are A) Non Brits, or B) just dont like froch.

    I like to give my Saddoboxing brothers and sisters a bit more credit than that, although I do accept a very small minority are like that.

    Anyone got the punch stats for the fight? All I remeber from both times of watching was Dirrell running and only landing a few times.

    I don't particularly like Froch either, but I had him infront by a long way, simply because he was the only one fighting.

    The forum seems split 50/50, interestingly though there aren't many people on the fence like you'd expect for a decision that divided opinions like this one. It's either full one way or the other clearly down to opinions on what scores points and wins rounds.

    Luckily the judges scored it correctly!
