    I agree man, this has totally turned me off a bit from the tourney.

      It was a close fight i had it 5-5 and 1 even up until the 12th......without the point deduction Dirrell should have won, but all in all a close competitive fight. If any thing it proves Dirrell is not a hype job and can perform on a world level. He should be proud of his performance.

        Dirrell looks good but his tactics are wrong need to engage and mix up his style not run and hug tactics, you think that **** can work against abrahams, i predict he will lose again, Abrahams is well awkward, only Kessler I think is capable of beating Abrahams, because of his counter punching ability.

            That should have been obvious to you from the beginning. Why else would some of these bums even be in the tournament if they weren't planning on using some shenanigans to make them look competitive?

              Someone should tell him the name of the game is to hit the other guy, and not get hit.
              By grabbing hold as soon as he gets in range? Or by dropping on one knee every time he fires back?

              Froch was utterly dismal but Dirrell made it a completely tedious fight.

                I am going to say it was close and could have gone either way, Dirrell allowed himself to really be roughed up at some points in the fight. I am going to have to watch it a few times and re-score before I come to an ultimate opinion.....I suggest everyone do the same.

                  So these "bums" like Froch, who have world titles, shouldn't be in the tournament, but untested prospects like Dirrell and Ward should?:thinking1:

                    Showtime guys said virtually nothing. Seemed like they were loathe to saying anything at all negative about this tourney. I was pretty shocked and pissed to hear zero outrage on the part of the Showtime guys. Love him or hate him, Larry Merchant would have called serious bull**** on the scoring.

                      yeah, dirrell stunk out the joint, but he still won.

                      showtime guys know that if they say dirrell got robbed that it ruins the tourney and it did... the super 6 is a super farce.
