A serious question for those who believe Dirrell won

[Hook]

Simple, Dirrell, won more rounds and landed more punches.

How on earth can you hand the fight to Froch who landed about two punches the whole fight and was made to luck like a chump.

The decision was an embarrassment and any right minded boxing fan should admit that and hope it doesn't happen again.

[Lead Cenobite]

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).

"coming forward" is not a scoring criteria.

Dirrell shoulda been disqd for his constant gay hugging..too bad for him he will face A.Abraham next

Is blindness in yours?

Yes, but landing punches is. And that is something Dirrell clearly did more of. Carl threw more, though.

[RodBarker]

That's exactly what i saw

So wanting to fight means you win ,,, the guy that hits the other guy the most wins 90% of the time , Froch didnt land anything and with the few he did land none put Dirrell in danger at all , what did Froch do to win by the rules of boxing , he did nothing except air boxing ,,,, a champion has to be able to beat fast slick fighters just the same as fighters that stand on your toes all night ,, Froch was out boxed and Dirrell was robbed of the win everybody seen it .

Dirrell's low work rate cost him

he really did better in the late rounds. I wouldn't call this fight an "embarassment" or "robbery"

because Andre coulda have landed more in the early rounds to win the round more decisively.

especially fighting away from home .. you need to win rounds decisively .. and I don't think Dirrell did enough of that to warent complaining about getting jobbed

"defense" is a scoring criteria. Sorry you lose.

Outworked with what? punches is how you outwork someone and as little as Dirrell was doing he was landing!!! more shots than Froch round by round so i dont know where on earth you are going with this.

Coming foward and making the fight is not!!! a scoring criteria, basically its irrelevant.

That's not always true. I normally hate when someone says that a slick boxer runs, but Dirrell truly ran. Just because you land 3 pity pats, doesn't mean you win the round against someone who is constantly throwing punches and trying to make the fight. He wasn't fighting a low level fighter like Curtis Stevens, he was fighting a world champion that way.

Rewatch the fight people. I think everyone is still excited, and not thinking about how to properly score a round ( no offense).
