The people who think Dirrell won...

[Sam D. Menace]

There will always be different opinions on an SD. I'd ask all those screaming 'robbery', though, to do one thing.. watch what happened after the fight when Dirrell and Froch were sitting together. They both knew it was close, and neither knew if they had won or lost.

End of.

the only reason dirrell did that was because him and his team knewit be hard to get a decision in a biased ass place like britain(if you'd watched the fight you would've known that when it was said in dirrells corner)

Damn you guys had to pay? That sucks, I thought UK guys get all PPVs free.

Yea thing is too, my channel showed a blue screen for the first 3 hours lol and as yet when I get through to the people who I was told to ring they just ramble on about how it's my fault because the signals weren't working or something, and one of the cvnts even tried to say I had cancelled the order a couple of hours before the German fights. Jeez.

Also, we paid £14.95, but it hasn't been made clear if that is a subscription fee or if this is just a one off deal and we have to pay again when the next round of the series arrives etc. British boxing coverage is not a pretty sight in the wake of Setanta collapsing, and it's only gonna get worse with ITV pulling the plug at the end of the year. Gutted.

I had Froch up a round but thought the judges would be split........

Which they were.....

Oh and I typed spilt not split if you REALLY want get **** mate.

Well I know you typed it. Writing "say" on the internet is pretty well accepted.


Did you think I thought you were saying it out loud as you typed it??

This thread failed.

Why? Because the thread starter is an uber fan.

Also might I add.. Direll, running or not.. Whatever you call it... He landed by far the cleaner effective blows.

I don't know what fight you were watching, but if anyone deserved the knod, it should've been Direll. Froch was missing and throwing wide shots all night.

Whuttt?!

Mate your pickling me head



It was of of the least aesthetically-pleasing fights I've seen in a while. On a par with Zaghe-Hopkins.

I need to see Kessler-Ward now!!

Anyone with half a brain cell can see that my Froch avatar and sig is very much tongue in cheek you ****ing invalid.

"If anyone deserved the nod it should have been Dirrell"? wtf sort of bull**** line is that?

I did watch it. That's BS.

It means that given the relatively close fight to score Dirrell should have gotten the round up on Froch for a slightly better performance. I don't think it was a blatant robbery, but I certainly had Dirrell winning.

[Philfy]

I was disappointed although not entirely suprised with the decision and I wasn't rooting for either fighter to win. Froch was very lucky to get away with the decision, make no mistake.

I had Dirrell up by 2 rounds at the end, that included scoring the first round 10-10.

Dirrell knew that 'technically' he had done enough for the win, but also knew that convincing the judges the same would be tough. Hence his concern prior to the announcement.

The words of Dirrell's corner at the start of the 12th were all too prophetic: "you gotta stop him, they ain't gonna give you the decision here".

That's just boxing I hear you say. Yeah, but it still sucks.

Direll should have go for a KO when Froch was hurt. But he blew it.
