Dirrell deserved to lose. Fact.

[Fenster]

You have to be pretty naive if you think Dirrell was going to get the decision, fighting like that, in the other guys backyard.

Come on now.

The fight was a boring, ugly, messy letdown.

Hold, foul, hold, duck/spin round, hold, pose, hold, run, hold.. boring, boring, boring.

Dirrell won the fight but it would have been a travesty had Froch lost.

oxymoron.

Froch is shit.

[Hunter]

Dirrell didnt start holding and grabbing until Froch started all of his dirty tactics and Dirrell saw that the ref was just letting Froch do whatever he wanted.

I think Dirrell even in loss proved three things:

- Froch has a suspect chin
- Froch's power is overrated
- Froch doesnt have good fundementals and is slow as molasis

I wish Dirrell would have just standed and traded with Froch, he would have gotten froch out of there.

Froch has a suspect chin

Say what?! Firstly how did he prove this, by tapping him on the chin as he was jumping away? And secondly, wouldn't the evidence of the Pascal fight suggest overwise?

[Fenster]

Froch is shit, slow, has overrated power and an overrated "grainite" chin. We all knew that beforehand.

But he "won"

Dirrell/Team Dirrell couldn't have expected to win being that negative though. If so they are a very naive outfit. And got what they deserved.

The trading part I somewhat agree. I actually think there were times that Direll was actually outslugging and hurting Froch.

[ono]

I wouldn't say Froch has a suspect chin. He has a solid chin at worse.

[Hunter]

Taylor and Direll are both not HUGE punchers and Taylor dropped Froch hard and Dirrell seriously wobbled him a fewtimes.....This equals suspect chin....

[OumaFan]

Froch apparently won on clean punching to the back of the head.

If Dirrell had just settled down and fought more like he did in the 11th it probably wouldn't have gone to the judges. Too skittish, too hyper, nervous, whatever. He pretty easily won the fight though. Abraham will probably decapitate him unfortunately, Direll I mean, if Abraham and Froch fought I would skip it and pray for a double knockout. Of course that's not likely as Froch is just going to get obliterated.

Amazing he was allowed to get away with that in England. I don't think I've ever seen a British fighter allowed to foul the hell out of an American fighter when they have fought in England.

It appeared Dirrell was extremely nervous for the fight....He even admitted before the fight....He showed alot of class by not becoming unraveled from Froch's dirty tactics.....especially with the crowd and ref against him......I am a new fan of Dirrell.

[Youngblood]

I honestly don't get the arguement for those in favor of Froch winning. For the most part it boils down to Dirrell..."Sure he won, but he lost." lol

And it is just bizarre. If I was in any way a fan of Direll I'd prob. still be upset with it today, but seeing as I 'm not, I just find it funny now.

And yes, I think Direll fought, well, scared and weird. And Froch like an angry 2nd cousin of a no talent retard. But the numbers of rounds won, and punches throw are what they are.

Oh well, they can both die a slow boxing death imo. I don't even care any more today, other then it pissed me off last night as I was getting psyched about and into this tour, and this shit set that back a bit.

[Master]

Dirrell is like the new Herol Graham, highly reliant on reflexes, spoiler, frustrating but brilliant. Gets points deducted and loses world title fights he should have won.

[El Kabong]

I hate Carl Froch....FACT

[Fenster]

I'm not saying Froch won. I think he lost. But you're not gonna win a boring, ugly, messy fight in the other guys backyard.

Dirrell only has himself to blame. You deserve to get punched in the back of the head if you keep turning/ducking.

Lyle, the ref wasn't from England just like he wasn't in that other fight you're reffering to - you muppet.
