    Froch didn't hold anyone down.

    Why would Froch hold Dirrell down if he's trying to win?

    That's just a ******ed theory.

      Dirrell was ducking down on purpose, like Cory Spinks did against Mayo.

      Who also fought extremely scared btw.

        Froch controlled the entire fight and made Dirrell look foolish and amateurish.

        Why was he always on the ground and looking at the ref?? Thats some Kermit Cintron **** right there.
        How can you look amateurish while looking like Neo from The Matrix for every single punch your opponent throws at you?

        4 clean shots is what i counted that landed on Froch.

        Too bad that Showtime has no Compubox so everyone can see the disparity in punches thrown and punches landed.

          Dirrell=Punk *****.

          Just a question, do any of them watch boxing regularly, not just wars but boxing as in friday night fights and obscure BOD cards?

            was there no close rounds in the fight. Especially early on. Was there no rounds early on that was very hard to score?

              I remember back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's you can watch championship fights for free. What happened?

                  Btw, I don't care who you are in Boxingscene, if you gave more than 3 rounds, 4 rounds tops to Froch..You don't know **** about boxing. Period.

                  Hang up your account and go watch "Cops", maybe you will watch these paid up judges being run down for robbing. You'll probably see Gale Van Hoye in that show as well as those two that gave it 115-112 to Froch.

                  More and more casual fans tell me that they don't want to watch boxing because it's all set up like Pro Wrestling. Can we blame them?

                  So where is Boxing heading? Will the corruption end one day? What happened to that John McCain movement to stop corruption in boxing?
                  Froch/Dirrell fight wasnt a robbery, it was a hard fight to score though. Diaz Malinaggi was a robbery the Van Hoy scorecard was outrageous. Not as many people made this much of a stink about it though I remember less tan 100 threads then again that was before the forum server was upgraded

                      Nope. All boxing first timers. That to me is the best indicator.
