Last night of course I saw the shitty UK "Primetime" PPV copy of this with unbiased, albeit poor British commentary and I scored it for Froch. Bear in mind that the British commentators scored it for Dirrell before you try that angle. Anyway, gonna watch this fight now then list my scoring. Should be interesting with the American commentary.
If you interested then cool let me know what you think, if you don't give a rats ass then that's cool too. Just try to keep it clean and on topic eh. I will not be arguing over my overall final score either, but if you see any round scored bad then let me know which one and we can compare lol.
Round 1 - 10-9 Froch. Nothing really happened, round goes to the champion by default due to Dirrell not doing nearly enough to take it. 10-9 to Froch.
Round 2 - 10-9 Froch. Landed about the same amount of punches, Dirrell started the running. Froch landed 7-8 glancing jabs, Dirrell landed a few to the body. 20-18 to Froch.
Round 3 - 10-9 Dirrell. Froch finally landed a right but it wasn't effective as he had to run after Dirrell to land it. Dirrell landed good to the body, but he was fighting scared. 29-28 to Froch.
Round 4 - 10-9 Froch. Froch landed alot more in this round than I remember, maybe 15+ punches with the majority of them glancing. Dirrell running away. 39-37 to Froch.
Round 5 - 10-9 Froch. Easily the clearest round so far. Dirrell landed one decent punch in the first 5 seconds then ran and began the holding. Froch outlanded him this round, no question. 49-46 to Froch.
Round 6 - 10-9 Dirrell. Crowd lively in this round, Dirrell landed the better of the exchanges and caused Froch to miss alot. Dirrell starting to hug, run and whine. 58-56 to Froch.
Round 7 - 10-9 Dirrel. Dirrell running out of danger and landing some decent punches, Froch left hitting thin air. Froch landed a nice combo to the back of the head. 67-66 to Froch.
Round 8 - 10-9 Froch. Froch landed his best punch of the fight. Dirrell really pushing the "hug a black man" campaign. Dirrell forced back alot. 77-75 to Froch.
Round 9 - 10-9 Dirrell. Rough round and Dirrell showing real signs of not liking it, Froch couldn't catch him and was forced to try to land in the clinch/hug. 86-85 to Froch.
Round 10 - 10-9 Dirrell. Froch hurt in an otherwise even round. Dirrell deducted a point makes it 9-9. Froch trying hard to force the fight, Dirrell smothering. 95-94 to Froch.
Round 11 - 10-9 Dirrell. Dirrell's best round of the fight. 104-104.
Round 12 - 10-9 Froch. Dirrell started the round well but just tried to con his way for the last 90 seconds. Froch trying to close the fight strong but not connecting well. 114-113 to Froch.
To be honest, there was alot of even rounds which I found hard to score. I think, depending on your interpretation you could score this either way, or maybe even a draw would have been fair. I don't see robbery though like some people claim, I think it was just a classic match up of chalk and cheese. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
the way i score a fight is at the end of each round i ask myself who is still champion? and this is the way my scorecard turned out.
round 1-who is champion? froch
round 2-who is champion? froch
round 3-who is champion? froch
round 4-who is champion? froch
round 5-who is champion? froch
round 6-who is champion? froch
round 7-who is champion? froch
round 8-who is champion? froch
round 9-who is champion? froch
round 10-who is champion? froch
round 11-who is champion? froch
round 12-who is champion? froch
LOL exactly!

Round 1 - 10-9 Froch. Nothing really happened, round goes to the champion by default due to Dirrell not doing nearly enough to take it. 10-9 to Froch.
WTF
yes to the casual fan round 1 looked like dirrell outboxing froch and keeping him at distance while landing the only few punches of the round but you forget froch is the champion and cashed in on his "win one free round" ticket he found in a cereal box.
Round 1: I scored it 10 10 first round. Pretty even.
Round 2 : 10 9 for Froch.
Round 3 : 10 9 for Dirrell.
Round 4 : 10 9 for Dirrell.
Round 5 : 10 9 for Dirrell.
Round 6 : 10 9 for Froch.
Round 7 : 10 9 for Froch.
Round 8 : 10 9 for Dirrell.
Round 9 : 10 9 for Dirrell.
Round 10 : 9 9 for both. Due to point deduction towards Dirrell.
Round 11 : 10 9 for Dirrell.
Round 12 : 10 9 for Froch.
I also had to watch this live streaming on the internet and the quality was awful. My Satillite company screwed up my channels so I couldn't watch both fights. So my scores could be completely wrong, but this is what I wrote down. My scorecard says Dirrell won the fight, but with the amount of holding and random bs, he defiantly doesn't deserve the W over the champ. I must say though, Dirrell is one quick puncher.
Whatever, fight wasn't even that good.
And please don't bitch about my judgement on the fight. Quality wasn't the greatest.
You gave 4 out of the first 5 rounds to Froch?
Your reasoning is that he's the champ so fairly even rounds automatically go to him? That's gotta be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Froch lost the majority of the early rounds.
You gave the 12th to Froch? That's gotta be a joke. A VERY clear round.
Froch lost that fight, and it wasn't really close at all.
And I was rooting for Froch.
They both looked shit, Froch looked slow and Dirrell was fighting like a girl.
The showtime commentators had Dirrell 2 points ahead after 6 rounds but even they said that the rounds were very close and hard to score.
I'll rewatch it tonight and give my scorecard.
thats because showtime doesnt want any controversy involved in there tournament so they have to say it was close.
I was rooting for him, and wanted to see Direll KOed, but in all honesty Froch is garbage, and is by far the least skilled in the tournament.
Going by his past two fights alone, I would agree with you. Hey, I'm not bashing Froch either, I've always been supportive when most others bashed him. He was just shit against Dirrell, really. That's the bottom line coming from a completely unbiased observer.

4 out of the first 5 to froch.......... no way froch won more than 2 of those at best and the 12th to froch why? cause he trapped dirrell on the ropes and landed nothing after dirrell dominated the first 2 minutes. if you fix that insanity you would have an accurate scorecard.
I've seen it twice now. At first I saw the live PrimeTime version and scored it for Froch by a single point, then after seeing the US broadcast I had Dirrell a couple of rounds ahead. I can't understand why people can't see this -- Froch looked like shit on Saturday night.

Post your own cards with a little analysis eh? I need some evidence if I'm gonna even consider seeing things from your points of view.
just rewatch it with with the volume off and see who lands more shots and more effective shots each round. thats how boxing is scored.:boxing:
