How the **** did Direll not get the win?

[$partacus]

I had it 8-4 for Dirrell, but Dirrell was stopping Froch from boxing by holding. I Don't think the judges liked that.

No way he won you don't win fights by potshotting, holding and running. If he had thrown more punches and engaged instead of clinching he would have easily won the fight.

This is professional boxing you are paid to fight. If you want to hold, run and throw pitty pat punches stay an amateur. I'm glad that the judges saw it this way also.

Dirrell got robbed imo.

He landed the cleaner shots and was busier early in the fight and especially more busy late in the fight.

Froch landed two clean blows the whole night.

Ever heard of dominant culture? I had a feeling something like this would happen. Worst case scenario, a draw should have been more reasonable. If Dirrell was the defending champion, Froch would have looked silly not catching the champion.

What were the punch stats?

[Rosseboi]

Foch was **** tonight - complete turd.

That said Dirrell spent a large portion of the fight turning his back, grabbing and falling down everyone seems to forget that.

If Dirrell fought rounds 1-10 like he rounds 11/12 he'd be a champion right now.

IM furious right now

they could have easily deducted MORE points from croch for pushing his head down, rabbit punching, hitting during the break etc etc.


WTF is this crap

Dirrell did not run. Dirrell moved when ever Froch threw and reset to better position himself. Dirrell landed the cleaner, and better punches. Even Bernstein said that Froch looked poor technically, and he's not a good technical fighter to begin with.

It's funny, the poster Infern0 said he'd be on here after the fight to **** on the Dirrell supporters. Guess what, he's MIA.

It is really amazing that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never been in Dirrell's position right now. This is the second fight, along with the Malignaggi-Diaz fight, that a guy has outboxed and earned a decision and been screwed over. Disgraceful.

Floyd has never left it to the judges. You cannot compare Dirrell's track routine to a Mayweather schooling.

[CrackYourJaw]

Although he did hold an awful lot, he was landing too. Clean punches. Froch on the other hand, couldn't find him.

[Idgas]

dirrell schooled froch. dirrell displayed good defense and counterpunching in the first half and then showed that he had good offense too in the last few rounds. dirrell should have won.
