Howcome When Hatton holds in England he's a *****. When Dirrel does it its smart???

[shadeyfizzle]

dumb analogy...hatton holds a hell of a lot more than dirrell does for one...two, hatton has never lost a decision...

nobody here is saying dirrell fought a great fight...it was boring as ****...most people just think froch doesnt deserve to win for hitting air for 12 rounds...

Comparing how Froch and Dirrell looked post-fight would suggest Dirrell hit air more often than Froch did.

[WhoreUs]

Americans were really quick to call out Hatton's style of fighting saying that the refs in england are more lenient to it than in other places in the world. But when Andre Dirrell does it against Froch and the ref gives him every opportunity to hold and turns the fight into a stinker it's smart strategy???

no one ever says hatton is a ***** for holding.

they say he's cheating.

hatton holds going forward. dirrell holds on the defense. big difference.

Joe Calzahghe's face was more bruised in the Bernard Hopkins fight...

Oh boy....now you're muddying up the topic. I've never been able to watch that fight past the 4th round with how ugly Hopkins was making it. But i saw the post fight pictures and based on those i would lean towards the hopkins contingent.

I didn't like dirrell holding so much, but it wasn't part of his offense like it was for hatton...

anyways... dirrell beat froch.

I was there in the arena, and anyone that thinks Dirrell won is on drugs!

If he lost a point for everytime he went down every round would have been 10-8 Froch!!

Dirrell tried fighting a Mayweather fight, by running and skipping away for 12 rounds, difference is Mayweather is an expert at that, Dirrell isn't.

Froch should have got a UD!!!

True fable.....

what kind of crack are you on? it does'nt turn into a 10-8 round if someone throws you to the floor or you slip...

Thats why i said IF, 'IF' mate. IF he lost points for being on the floor.... Anytime Froch got close to unloading the ***** went down to blow him.

And one clean blow from anyone and he'll go, Froch's jabs wobbled him.

so im guessing your boxing strategy would be to keep your face right where the punch is headed then?

its called ducking...your countryman hatton should have tried it against pacquiao...
