    They scored it 114-113 for Dirrell, but also said it was very close and some rounds could go either way.
    Showtime commentators were similar they had it 1point either way pretty much, then factor in point reduction

      it wasn't a robbery but I thought Dirrell deserved to win. But these 2 guys probably won't be in the finals. Abraham and Kessler seem like the best 2

        Is anyone really surprised that Rafael would be biased against Dirrell?

        I'm sure he'll be biased against Ward in the November fight too.

          Rafael is right, Dirrel held, cried and whinn too much. And he was too cautious.

            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.
            I don't get why the world title should come into the decision. Both fighters should enter the ring equal. You shouldn't have to do more than usual just to beat the guy who has the title.

            To me its one of those old-age things of the sport that just doesnt make much sense.

              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.

              Interestingly, after the fight Froch didn't have a mark on his face, while Dirrell was cut.

                He moved a lot, but who landed punches? Froch didn't Froch was also hurt many times and got lit up.

                  Froch never gets arked up, his face looked the same after the pascal and Taylor fights when he was getting hit with bombs.

                    Ask him this as well:

                    How can you see what happened when you can't even see your **** to pee?

                    But I can see quite fine. I can see diabetes and a heart-attack coming his way if he doesn't get his act together

                      Dirrell fought scare at hell, and too cautious. He lost too many of the first rounds
