sorry but no your blind or biased. even your british commentators for that fight and former british champs all had dirrell winning that fight. yes he ran and i dont like his fighting style either but i respect the clean blows he was landing. ward has shown he is clearly the man had no close fights so far all one sided. we will see how froch does against glen first do not look past him. thing you have to consider is this, froch is not nearly the best fighter glen has fought or beat. froch has not fought the same competitiong as glen.
I have to sa the standard of posting on this forum is terrible, usually by americans it has to be said. Some obese yank earlier claimed Froch was, and i quote "embarrassingly behind Jermaine taylor on the score cards". I along withsomeone else rebuttled that quite easily. But ill do that more extensively in my "carl froch urban myths volume 2".
Any the quote avove is probably an obese AA hating on froch for no reason. So lets me debunk his blatant lie.
Full video of why dirrell blew it, and pretty much all of the comments agree dirrell lost the fight.

But that aside lets see what the other evidence says.
1)PUNCH STATS.
They was no punch sats from showtime, but the unbiased boxrec were live and kindly did it for us. Heres wha they found.
Dirrell was deducted one point in the tenth round for excessive holding.
Blows: Froch 153/475 32%; Dirrell 105/315 33%.

So in conclusion froch landed more punches, by quite some margin, add the fact dirrell illegally held, and ducked all night, shows boxrec were correct.
2) PRESS ROW.
Aside from froch rightfully winning, often the press row are good back ups to whether a fight wasa robbery or not. Guess what, they scored it to froch. 2 had froch winning and one had it a draw.
3) The pundits. The UK Showtime pundits of darren barker scored it to froch, add to that buncey and graham houston scored it to froch. But they are UK and you Obese Americans would cry about that.
Tankfully jimmy iowa and dan rafael both scored it to froch, with allan green and manny stewart, also both giving froch the nod. HArdly a Robbery hey.
And with all that being said, the most prominant US YOUTUBE Boxing pundit even scored it to froch, again with most people agreeing with him...

good night.
When I see people saying Froch vs Dirrell was a robbery i have to seriously question who much they actually know about boxing and how many fights they have actually seen.
It was a close fight Froch came to fight Dirrell ran b!tched hugged (did everything but fight) you don’t win world titles with that kind of performance.
As TS says press row gave the fight to Froch so did the overwhelming majority of other top pundits.
Dirrell doesn’t even want a rematch with Froch, in fact he has gone on record stating he wants to stay away from Froch and wouldn’t want to fight him again (something along those lines) anyway he dosnt sound to confident for a guy that supposedly won the fight.

Dirrell robbed himself of the victory,and the fans of a great fight..DIrrell did not fight like a Champion thus did not win a Championship..Its easy to understand honestly..
Dirrell got robbed.
Froch was ineffective.
At the end of the day they gave it to the hometown guy.
As a Froch fan you should stay quiet about this decision instead of trying to defend it LOL.
Dirrell got robbed. No question.
You only have to listen to the home crowd after the final bell. Silence. No cheering. They saw it live and thought Froch lost.
Dirrell won the last 2 rounds quite clearly but other then that i might have given him a round or 2. He spent the whole fight refusing to engage, running, holding and throwing himself to the floor. It was a terrible fight but remember thinking at the end that Froch just about did enough.
I even remember a couple of the other guys in the tournament (think it was Kessler and Abraham) saying that they thought Froch just about did enough. It seems only the Americans think Dirrell won.
just done a poll and its 64 percent to froch winning, which proves my point even more..

So i win yet again, NEXTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
This is the backlash against Dirrell because he left the tournament of an injury that people think is fake. Why did most people think Dirrell won right after the fight? :lol1:

Shame on TS posting this again as I have several times put up the Poll showing most people here know Dirrell won. I like Froch now. But those stats came from boxrec, not Compubox, and boxrec has lost all crdibility because of that.

Above is the poll from NSB here on Froch-Dirrell. Started the next day or so, when the facts were fresh.
It has 220 to 73 or 69% to 23% in favor of Dirrell over Froch. Your colleagues here at NSB have spoken clearly.
Stop being a Frochtard.
lmaoooooo.
SO ive showns actual punch stats, videos, and anlysis backing what i say up from actual experts, and your evidence is based on a poll from an american boxing forum??? Are you kidding me????
Also at the time froch was hated by most brits and europeans, infact if i did a poll now i guarentee it will dramatically improve on the 23 percent, lets see shall we....

Well -Panda- has like 50 accounts, so thats not really a fair guide. Alot of the trolls here have a million accounts.
Direll is another "slick" coward who should be banned from Boxing. He is an emberassment to the sport and I hope nobody sanctions any of his future fights.
In two years I have not heard a single argument about Froch winning because of anything he actually did that was anywhere in the realm of legitimate, it is always about what Dirrell did. That there says it all.
The game is about being punched effective more so than the other guy, a style merely plays into that and is no way a determining factor for who should win. OK a guy might fight in a way you dislike but who landed the better blows~
