A serious question for those who believe Dirrell won

[slicksouthpaw16]

its funny how you talk **** about dirrells boxing when your avatar is sweet pea. you are ignorant and have no knowledge of the sweet science.

Actually you just made yourself look like an ass, because that shows that i love pure boxing brilliance. Whitaker boxed effectively and had the ability to control distance with an educated, consistent southpaw jab and excellent footspeed. He never ran.

None of it matters now because Tarver slipped and called him Crotch.

lmao...


Yeah Froch lost... But I see the point of him not doing enough to upseat a champion..paper and protected as that champion might be... Same **** has gone down in America, just on a different day.



Btw--- Refereeing was HORRIBLE in that fight. Just absolutely wretched.

Whitaker did what dirrell did HIS WHOLE CAREER.

I take it you haven't seen sweet pea at lightweight. He was always effective, and instead of tying up on the inside, he would mainly work ( as he was a great inside fighter).

I am pretty bummed about it now though, I was ok with it as it happeaned (but reading some dumbass **** on here make me angry about the situation) because I saw it comming but I lost money on the fight Dirrell/over. I did not bet a lot though just incase this kind of thing occured. I am fairly happy the fight went pretty much how I thought it would go.

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.

Because, pressing the fight and connecting with something is a lot different than pressing and getting nill for results. Froch landed basically nothing but one looping and rolled right hand in the first half of the fight aside from some clinching shots.

I counter your thread with my own question.

Based on what makes you think Froch won? All he did was plod forward and miss wide shots.

Workrate doesn't always mean you were better. Hell, Jermain Taylor outhussled Abraham if that counted for something before the KO.

Clean, effective punching is what boxing is based on. NOT JUST WORKRATE.

Froch got a gift decision and you know that's the truth when the brits come on here and say it.

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.

both of you need to watch the fight again...

You have to read my respones in the previous page( all of your questions will be answered), because now I'm just repeating myself.

I thought that referee did very good, he got on the boxers faces and called them out to listen to him.. The horrible ref was the guy in the taylor/abrahams fight he suck the big one.

[Pullcounter]

By the same token you can expect to win a fight doing nothing but holding and running.

This is not amateur boxing and Froch landed plenty. Everytime Dirrell got hit or was about to be hit he held, it's as simple as that. If Dirrell had engaged and thrown more than two punches without holding he might have won.

c'mon! dirrell landed more punches than froch did. it wasn't a pretty fight, but dirrell got robbed. what were you watching?
