Do Americans not like watching fights anymore?

[Weebler I]

Im still wondering why Froch wasn't docked a point for his own spoiling tactics-like throwing or hitting behind the head several times.Anyone who would justify Froch winning ask yourselves who looked in control of the fight-was Froch (the "champion") able to fight his fight or was Dirrell able to fight his....

only reason Froch hit him behind the head (and I think it was more on the side) was because the fker kept ducking down to avoid having to trade

[Ekscape]

he did actually, but he also threw some sneaky big shots in just after the ref would break them up. Without the ref's intervention he would never have got them off

wow just wow.... Floyd showed pure brilliance in that fight... He fought an inside fight... HE FOUGHT HATTONS FIGHT HE BEAT RICKY HATTON WITH HIS OWN STYLE... Lmao

How can anyone say this about Dirrell, but not Vitali K?

He didn't want to stand toe to toe and brawl,

what's wrong with that?

He felt he'd do better outpointing Froch, and I think he did personally.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! These people just loathe when Mayweather or Dirrell are evasive,but when Vitali Klitschko or his brother do it-these same people hail them as legends.To those people,it is about Europe against American nationalities-not sports.Most of these clowns don't appreciate BOXING,they just wanna see 2 unskilled pub brawlers maul each other like animals-not atheletes.

Maybe Andre have learned something and use this as an advantage in his next fight.

If Andre learned anything,it was probably not to fight on UK soil if you are American (hell even Australian),because the English don't give a fair shake in the first place.They wanna see rough and tumble fighting,not the sport called boxing.

Sounds like an excuse to act unprofessional.Do you think he should have been deducted a point?
I thought boxing was a form of controlled aggression,but Carl had no control and couldn't change the pace of the fight-sounds like a champion to me...lol

The only fight against an American was a fix with the ref's protection and clear bias to another boxer who didn't want to fight. And stop riding on the coat-tails of Filipino land for the other one. The classless yank wannabe thug Mayweather is yours, the classy gentleman Pacquiao is from thousands of miles away on another continent.

Your still bitter? Come on now mate, just accept that the better guy won.

lol, Floyd didnt fight an inside fight. He clinched up close and pot shotted at distance. He only opened up on the inside half way through the fight when Hatton was frustrated and lost focus.

Great performance by Floyd, but i disagree he fought Hattons fight.

Floyd is revered by boxing fans as being one of the greatest defensive boxers ever. Vitali has one of the biggest KO ratio's of any fighter ever. He also out works and out scores his opponents, whilst trying to land the big KO punch.

From what ive seen Dirrell fought a very ugly fight. He may have won, but his reluctance to fight at all with Froch, or even throw decent punches, means people are critical of that style.
His constant holding and running is ridiculous, and very different from Vitali and Floyd.

[jazluvr]

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

I agree with you Pull! In Dirrell's previous fight, he looked a hell of a lot better. I didn't like all the running he did with Foch either, but thought he edged it out. I think the ref favoured Froch. And the scorecards of 115-113 were a little off, imo.

look at their war history.viet nam.korea & now thw middle east.they have all the weapons & fire power but they cant seem to win.arrogance & no respect for their opponents.in boxing its the same.it leads to defeat!
