Who is Carl Froch?

I scored the fight 115-112 for Dirrell RD1: 10-9 Dirrell RD2: 10-9 Dirrell RD3: 10-9 Dirrell RD4: 9-10 Froch RD5: 10-9 Dirrell RD6: 10-9 Dirrell RD7: 9-10 Froch RD8: 9-10 Dirrell RD9: 10-9 Dirrell RD10: 9-9 (Dirrell w/o point deduction) RD11: 10-9 Dirrell RD12: 9-10 Froch I thought Dirrell was putting on a clinic in the first 6 rounds landing counters effectively with both hands and landing multiple hard left hooks on Froch, who looked very meek and had trouble cutting off the ring. Towards the second half he began to tire and started holding more. From rounds 8-11 Dirrell landed some heavy hands on Froch, stunning him in rounds 10 and 11. Froch picked up the intensity a bit and won the last round. I thought there might have been a couple rounds that could have gone either way (RD4 and RD9), but it would be ludicrous for anyone to think Dirrell didn't at the very least win 7 rounds. Froch also committed every infraction in the book (hitting on the break, blatantly, hitting behind the head, tossing his opponent down, punches, etc.). It's shocking that he didn't get DQ'd let alone deducted at least point. As far as the judges, I'm shocked that two of them somehow saw Froch winning 7 rounds and even the 114-113 score for Dirrell seemed a little narrow. The fight took place in Nottingham so what else could be expect from the officials... I would say it was a pretty blatant robbery and had the fight taken place anywhere other than Froch's hometown, Dirrell would have walked out with a clear decision or a DQ win. This fight is the definition of a hometown decision. Dirrell outfoxed Froch, and hurt him.

Froch is one of my favorites. Ward will always be his Daddy, but Carl is pretty cool. He was the most entertaining guy on the Super Six FC360 series.

Froch ain't all that...Jermain was already done. You've got to be joking.

One of the funniest comments I've ever read on this site. Froch moved forward ineffectively while Dirrell ran around pulling faces. Dirrell did realise he could actually win around the 11th & started to get moving but too little too late. Neither fighter deserved to win. But if you watched the fight on Showtime & are of limited intelligence I can see why you thought he 'put on a clinic' :rofl: The commentary that night was Jim ?What? bad.

Dirrell put on a clinic and was robbed in Carl's hometown. One of the funniest comments I've ever read on this site. Froch moved forward ineffectively while Dirrell ran around pulling faces.

He would have to have fought a prime Froch. Froch was 32 in '09 coming off a war with Pascal. That Froch wasn't prime and neither was Pascal, who isn't very good anyway. The Froch who fought Pascal was still fighting at the domestic level. The Pascal fight was probably his first baptism of fire.

He was knocked down by a shot Jermain and was 10-20 seconds away from losing a clear decision. They were going to pretend it was a clear decision but look at the press row scores after 9 rounds: Niall Hickman (UK) - 86-85 Jack Obermayer (US) - 86-84 Chris Givens (Arkansas) - 87-83 Froch won the next 3 rounds with a knockdown. It was never going to be a clear decision win for Taylor anywhere but on two blind home judges scorecards, especially considering Froch was the champion. Imagine what a prime Taylor would have done to him... He would have to have fought a prime Froch. Froch was 32 in '09 coming off a war with Pascal.

Froch ain't all that...Jermain was already done. He was knocked down by a shot Jermain and was 10-20 seconds away from losing a clear decision. Imagine what a prime Taylor would have done to him... Dirrell put on a clinic and was robbed in Carl's hometown. Froch's greatest claim to fame is exposing a glass chinned hypejob in a Nottingham phone-booth. Also didn't this guy get KO'd by Manfredo in the amateurs...

Froch ain't all that...Jermain was already done.

Carl Froch has top ten ATG girlfriend/wife. seriously look her up. Not for me, I'm afraid. Looks and figures fade. She is all style and NO substance: inarticulate, incurious, uneducated, uncultured. She exposes her breasts for a living.

he should do that.... cos everyone said how great ward was when he beat dawson.... it's the biggest payday kovalev would ever see, if he wants it... he should consider dropping down.... kovalev has some steam behind him in the uk now he beat cleverly.... so building a big ppv would not be hard in the uk. I wonder if he would be willing because he said this in an interview: Since the age of seven, Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev has been involved in learning and attempting to perfect the sweet science. His edification has brought many accolades in the amateurs as Kovalev, through an interpreter, recently advised Boxing Insider, “I had 215 fights and I won 193 out of the 215. I won many tournaments and was always able to get to the country to country championships in Russia which is a big deal. I was at my best at 165 to 168 .” http://www.*************.com/headlines/boxing-insider-exclusive-interview-sergey-krusher-kovalev/

Has Chavez moved up? :wtf: Oh so it's weird for Chavez to move up to fight Froch, but it's perfectly acceptable for Froch to move up for Kovalev? I don't think you believe the utter drivel you post

Carl Froch has top ten ATG girlfriend/wife. seriously look her up.

What are Froch's options? George Groves Kessler III Ward II Bute II Kessler III is pointless, he is done. Bute rematch, no need. Froch ended his career. Groves is a mandatory and a fight which Froch may well lose. And Ward. A fight which will only happen in the US. Kovalev will come to Nottingam. YOU KNOW THAT! OK Dirk, who wins it? Froch v Kovalev @ 175! Froch is the bigger name. Make Kovalev come down to 168.

I don't see why he would, anyway. He's a natural 168er. It'd be pointless moving up; I think he's admitted that. Chavez Jr at 168 would be interesting... Has Chavez moved up? :wtf:

He's the man :boxing:

Froch is ultimately looking to fight Andre Ward again which is his most lucrative fight. Until that happens, he won't be going up in weight. I don't see why he would, anyway. He's a natural 168er. It'd be pointless moving up; I think he's admitted that. Chavez Jr at 168 would be interesting...

Froch is at super-middleweight, Kovalev is at light-heavyweight. Froch would fight him if it made sense, right now it doesn't. Froch has bigger and better fights on the horizon.
