ESPN's Dan Rafael: 114-113 for Froch

[flipbjefrox]

the early rounds are way too close 1-4 to be specifically. i wouldnt be surprised if they scored all of them tfor froch

Just reading his chats. He said Dirrell gave up too many rounds by running and holding.

That obese beast's leg fat is interfering with his central nervous system. That fight wasnt even close. 8-4 for dirrell.

Rafael's score is correct.

No one should take a world title from the champion by doing little except running, holding, falling and bitching. Froch at least controlled the pace of the fight.

Rafael does have a point though

Froch might not have been so effective as far as consistantly landing punches (didn't happen often)

but Dirrell didn't do himself any favors with all the holding and moving.

I have Froch winning in a closed decision. Dirrell was running and holding too much(just like Rafael said). Froch was overall the aggressor. And when the commentators said that Dirrell was fast and landing punches, in some of them it looks like it was hitting Froch's gloves.

Dirrell clearly won the last few round because he was attacking and landing effective punches.

Not being bias, not a hater, just saying what i saw.

I agree with Rafael!!!!

Our British announcers had it for dirrell.

I watched that UK telecast on a stream.

They scored it 114-113 for Dirrell, but also said it was very close and some rounds could go either way.

They were going out of their way to NOT be biased in favor of the English fighter.

Bunce had it wider than Rafael, 115-112 for Froch.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

I agree with Rafael!!!!

Who is that fighter in your sig?

[street bully]

Dan Rafiel is an idiot, I thought most people knew this by now. By the way did he shave his head and beard like he promised to, that fat **** makes me sick.

Remember Rafael is the same guy who did a post fight report on Juan Manuel Marquez vs Chris John, took a **** on Marquez over his performance and then later got exposed - and admitted - that he never watched the fight.
