115-112 The Cobra.
I couldn't give some of the closer rounds to Dirrell, simply because of his constant backpedalling, little output, and the excessive holding. That isn't effective aggression at all, its running away trying to outjab the opponent thinking thats what wins fights. The fact he only got docked 1 point is shocking honestly.
What made the fight close was Froch getting outjabbed, then Froch unleashing quite considerable combos towards the end of the round.
But I agree with others, Dirrell lost because of his gameplan.
