Carl Froch Edges Andre Dirrell With Split Call Verdict

[Odawg]

I've already referred to round 8 where he hugged him for 3 separate clinches I think, before the bell rang. If that's incorrect then apologies, it's late. Speaking of which I'm off to bed so feel free to PM if you would like to continue discussing it. Cheers.

Oh and Odawg? You need to take a pill. I never even said which way I scored it so I really have no clue why you have such an issue. I wasn't even talking to you at any point. Grow up.

i just call it how i see it, its like you making a case for froch, anyone who is reading what this guy says, am i right? does it not sound like he making a case for froch? and as for you wasnt even talkin to me, i think its you who needs to take a pill, this is a boxing forum, so we all talking to each other, no? at the end of the day true boxing fans such as myself dont like to see this **** happen, as i said im from the uk nottingham is down the road from me, im from the midlands, but the truth is dirrell won the fight by a wide margin , and its a shame he now has a loss on his record that shouldnt really be there. well all i can say its not the records that make the boxers, we the fans are the real judges, i just hope dirrell bounces back from this and beats AA, hate to see it knock his confidence as i see him as a future star in boxing. so yeh you get you rest and replay that sh it when you wake up bro. if you gona post a comment dont chat **** cuz we all gona lay into you

I think Dirrell won the fight clearly.

As for Dirrell fight downside of the night he outclassed, outboxed, landed more clean, flush, harder, effective shots then froch. I mean dirrell I think held alot of throwing 2 punch combos but Froch pulled alot of dirty **** hit him in back of head over 35 times, hit after ref said stop early on andu ntil the end I was disgusted the ref didn't take a point after all the warnings. What balls he had to take a point from dirrell for like he said leaning in on froch just was bad to stomach. Dirrell won this fight hands down judge how you want but he took it with 2 points or more even with the point taken from him. Froch isn't a champion got kd by JT, and outboxed by dirrell, showed terrible accuracy, balance, and speed. Even the round andre got the point taken he pulled out so strong it was a 9-9 round.

what a robbed Froch did nothin to win
dirrell did great

[The_Visitation]

Close fight, very hard to score... I actually had it a draw. The SD might well have gone the other way had Dirrell been at 'home'. But those talking of "robbery" are, frankly, totally biased, blind or ******ed.

Dirrell just didn't do quite enough; you don't win fights by running, holding and landing a few clean blows. Aggression is a factor in scoring, too.

Dirrell with Split Call Verdict

Look like 2 street fighting bums

Dirrell clearly won this fight with good movement and combination punching. Froch was not even in this fight at all, and this is a striaght robbery.

It is just fair to give froch the victory because he make the fight. Dirrell just go running and holding. How can you hit a guy who is running and holding. It must be a warning to boxing that too much running and holding of a fighter is not good in the boxing world. Boxing fans should be entertained, they must not get bored. Dirrell's style make the sport boring. Too much running and holding like that, must not be tolerated. That's the only way to make a fighter fight. If not, then they will be there just for money, no longer for the benefit of the sport. Too much running and holding is the main reason why the sport of boxing is losing its appeal to the public. The sport authority must consider it seriuosly to save the sport of boxing.

Froch was publically exposed in this fight. When I say "exposed", I mean in the sense that he was shown up as a somewhat one dimensional fighter. Dirrell had the style and versatility to beat Froch and he made it look relatively easy (and he did beat him BTW).

Dirrell was quicker, showed some great footwork and evasive skills and had Froch swinging at air most of the night.

There's more to the sport than standing and trading shots with somebody. Froch was horribly frustrated by Dirrell's style - his ability to switch stance and reluctance to stand toe to toe gave Froch fits. Froch had to resort to dirty tactics to try and upset Dirrell who was by far the superior boxer.

It wasn't a particularly pleasant fight to watch. There was too much clinching. I think the fight got away from the referee a little bit too which resulted oddly, in Dirrell being deducted a point.

Dirrell was the more effective fighter on the night. Any sane, knowledgable boxing enthusiast would agree. I believe Froch himself knows this too - that he was made to look bad in front of everybody. I can officially now label Froch as "OVERATED"

In short, a horrible decision that has cast doubt on the integrity of the tournament.
