but froch was fighting pretty dirty. I mean anywhere else other than the UK and he might've gotten disqualified.
Exactly. Dirrell was controlling the fight very easily before Froch started using those dirty tactics. It completely threw him off.
If dirrell didn't run like a coward and stopped his diving on the floor act he might have won.

green is not beating ward so things arent going to go how you think
You'll never know. He is perfectly capable of knocking him out. I'd like to see a Ward decision though.
If things go how I think they will, Green will KO Ward at the end of the fight after being down miserably on the score cards, but Ward will beat Dirrell.
So I think he'll still be eliminated, unless Green Kessler loses to Green...But then Kessler and Dirrell would be tied with 2pts. So who would get eliminated? Both?

yeah i had my reservations about dirrell's chin, but if you're thinking about the same punch and KD that im thinking of, that was a hellacious shot. dirrell got KD and recovered well.
he also ate some good shots by abraham late in the fight that didnt even buckle his knees.
its just that froch is so uncoordinated and slow that dirrell couldve easily punched and turned. he also couldve won handily if he stuck to orthodox and jabbing the sht out of froch which is what he did in the earlier part of the fight. andre just didnt do anything to gain froch's respect which he couldve done early. froch aint indestructible but dirrell fought him like he was.
Good point, I agree. I also think he lost focus in the mid rounds when Froch started pushing him around and fighting dirty. That completely ruined his game plan.
I don't know...I don't think he has the chin to keep coming forward against someone like Froch. He got dropped by some pretty unknown, light punching dude before the Super Six started. Abraham doesn't throw very many punches and spends most of the rounds behind his guard so it was easy for him to be active in that fight, but Froch doesn't. He does give the first 2min of the round to you, but after that he comes back and attacks. Sometimes he'll even attack for the full 3min.

yeah, partying and kicking himself at the same time.
he couldve made that fight so much easier for himself and for the judges to score.

Andre Dirrell must be partying after Kessler's victory
Because of Kessler's victory, it is now possible for Andre Dirrell to stay in the tournament. I know he's partying somewhere right now.
