A serious question for those who believe Dirrell won

[slicksouthpaw16]

How in any way, can you tell me that someone who fought extremely scared early in the fight, complaining to the referee every time Froch would get close, was barley throwing any punches, (and didn't start landing anything significant until after Froch was hurt) beat someone who was trying to press the fight and make it exciting? I give Direll credit for putting up a fight late and coming to Dirrell's home town, though IMO he lost.

This isn't a hate thread, and i think Andre will become a better fighter after this, but he was clearly out worked.

froch didn't land 10% of his punches, dirrell was hitting him at will... what ****ing fight did you watch?

You can't land nothing and win a round; be serious.

I don't know if you noticed but Froch did nothing in the early rounds.

[bojangles1987]

Because as little as Dirrell was doing early, he was easily doing more than Froch, who didn't land a legit punch until like the 4th or 5th round.

And late in the fight Dirrell started putting it on Froch, no question. Normally I can see both points of view, but there is no way Froch won.

Froch didn't land anything of consequence, with the exception of one left hook. Froch may have thrown more, but was largely outlanded by Dirrell, IMO.

froch didn't land ****... dirrell landed the cleanest more effective shots...

froch was doing mma **** in the ring.

Dirrell wasn't landing anything either. You cannot come to someone's home town and run, plain and simple. It just doesn't look good for you. My point is that Froch was coming forward and was winning most of the early rounds based on that alone. What i do agree with, is that Dirrell did come on strong late ( which suprised me).

I agree, he didn't really do anything early on. And apart from all the holding, he was also ducking or bobbing his head about Froch's groin area. No idea what he was doing there Froch seemed to want a fight and Dirrell wanted to dance about.
