A serious question for those who believe Dirrell won

[APryor]

I thought Dirrell had won the fight...but the way he fought(hugging, running, looking sloppy at times like falling) I had a feeling he wasn't gonna get the decision...

It wasn't drastically one sided so I had the feeling he wouldn't get the decision in Froch's town...as soon as I heard split decision, I knew it...

This is exactly how I feel.

Dirrell should have won a close fight, but I knew what the decision would be as soon as the final bell rang. You can't win in another country when you leave so many rounds up for grabs. The judges know who is paying them. You think those two European clowns are going to get hired to fly across the Atlantic and judge a fight in the USA?

I thought he won, 115-112.

But when I heard 'split decision', I knew what would happen....

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 anything on the front of dirrell's head. All behind the head, and no points were taken from him. Dirrell out boxed him early, then pounded him to death for the last 3 rounds. Froch got a home town decision bottom line. Froch proved he isn't ****, and Dirrell is the real deal.

Dirrell landed the cleaner, more effective punches in my eyes and made Froch miss often.
