LMFAO Americans. What a joke.

[shawnrf]

what was the compu box analasys?

Exactly, if they would have shown stats, they would have been "close" to Marquez/Mayweather. I counted the clean shots Froch landed on less than two hands.

I agree Dirrell acted like a baby, and there may be an argument that he should lose b/c of that. To me, Dirrell clearly won that fight. 15-12 is b.s.

Fair point mate, good post.

Co sign bro ****ing Americans, how do you get the win running dropping to the floor and pot shotting every now and then. I watched on Showtime they weren't suprised by the outcome, close fight period.

Dirrel should have been deducted for the holding and going to the floor multiple times, you could argue Froch should have got 1 too for the behind head shots. But like Froch said what can he do when Dirrel just stays down there

Shameful

Did the ref give a warning first?

[Dr. Holloway]

I came into this tournament without bias just looking to be entertained. I like the six fighters, and the different things each guy brings. Tonight I was dissapointed. I am a hardcore boxing fan who has boxed for many years. I watched the fight with my brother who is a casual fan that understands the technical aspects of the fight more than most.

Few complaints about the Taylor and Abraham fight, but nothing big seeing as how Arthur clearly won the fight in the end. Taylor warned too many times for fouls that were either unintentional or illegal..none really damaging. Arthur not warned for doing nearly as much fouling.

My big complaint is with the Dirrell and Froch matchup. Dirrell ran and held too much, that is certain. Froch also held and hit too much. Sure he had some reason to be frustrated. Dirrell's holding stems from the fact that his speed causes his to close distance rapidly and fall in as he punches. Froch just stood in front of Dirrell as this happened and Dirrell fell into him. That was the cause behind 90% of the holds. It made for an ugly fight, but what do Froch fans think he missed out on here? He could have hit Dirrell some, but in the later rounds, it was Dirrell who proved to be more effective inside. Froch wings his shots and isn't a natural inside fighter...it seems to me the British fans are acting as if he would have gotten his best work done inside??? It's funny though all the Froch fans I've seen have been able to use to defend Froch keeping his belt...well along with the you have to take the tile notion. Bottom line: Froch was ineffective. He couldn't land anything, got countered repeatedly with faster shots and to top it off, he was the guy who was hurt in the fight..when almost no one expected that to be the result.

Wait... so who was doing the holding....?

If Dirrell wants to come inside and hold. So be it.

But Froch is going to score points when he busts him up on the inside.

[Breakbeat]

I think Dirrell was hoping to spoil and hope the ref kept on breaking them up, it seemed a few times he would start holding on to Froch and complain to the ref that Froch was hitting him in the face before the ref had stepped in.

Clearly said Dirrell was holding too much. Froch also held behind the head (another form of holding) too much, Dirrell did turn his head, but Froch still isn't allowed to hit..fouls for both. Dirrell did go to the ground, believe everytime he did Forch was holding him illegally for whatever reason..didn't really see these kneel downs as a big deal. One was clearly a slip in a wet corner..in fact Dirrell slipped several times on the logos in the ring, which you can't balme on anyone but the prmoters and sponsers.

Regardless of how you feel about Dirrell's fouls, How did you score many rounds for Froch? What was effective about fouling on the inside and missing wildly with most of his shots? Which rounds did you have Froch winning?

[Shattered Jaw]

Bump.... for today's crowd.

If by "busts him up" you mean "hit him repeatedly in the back of the head, and a few times on the break" Then I agree.

[T.Horton]

All the **** that Dirrell said he was going to do, he said he was going to knock out Froch. I hate fighters who talk all that **** and then run all night and then claim they were robbed. Dirrell is the better runner but running in a match all night does not win a fight on my score cards. Dirrell knows that if he does not run all night he get's knocked out.

running? i think you mean hitting without getting hit...aka boxing. pathetic decision and i would love to see punch stats.

[T.Horton]

Points should have been deducted from Froch for the Body Slam and the excessive blows to the back of the head.

multiple. and he wasn't even warned until the 6th or 7th....
