    Dirrell did not have the right game plan, deal with it.


    You can't fight in such a negative way and expect to win in someones backyard.

          People call Mayweather's style running when most of the time he uses his defensive shoulder roll in a static posture.

              Dirrell was looking for a robbery by spoiling tactics and running.

              There were times when Dirrell held on to Froch and was getting punched in the face and Dirrell was complaining to the ref that he was getting punched in the face.

              No wonder the ref took the point.

                Or have you all turned into tinkerbelles?

                If everyone fought like Dirrell and Mayweather, no one would watch boxing. Judges can't keep rewarding people who don't want to fight, that's just killing the money and the sport.
                The thing that is killing boxing is when hometown arena's and the judges rule in favor of the hometown guy, in spite of what is actually happening in the ring. Another thing that is killing boxing is when refferee's are short-sighted and can only see the infractions committed by the visiting fighter - while the hometown fighter is allowed to foul at will without any recourse.

                Hatton is famous for getting the nod from ref's to foul at will and now after witnessing the Dirrell vs Frouch fight .... Frouch has and is getting the nod as well.

                This is what is killing boxing on an international scale - not the boxing styles of certain fighters, but the ref's and the judges that insist on not doing their job impartially and without prejudice.

                  Direll would have won if it wasnt for too much cliching.

                    For once I agree with you. I'm glad the judges took a stand against this kind of fighting. For the record watching Hatton fight was almost as bad as watching Dirrell.

                      no, we don't like all the running, but dirrell landed more punches, thereby winning the fight and getting robbed.
