USA Today - Froch vs. Dirrell: 117-110

[joartcc5]

Dirrell wont win a fight by running at the elite level.

These Americans need to realize running won't work against elites.

They need to have balls and start fighting.

Sorry. It was a close fight that could have gone either way, but 117-110 is fantasy scoring. Certainly Dirrell's corner disagreed, else why;

"Dirrell's trainer tells him he needs a KO to win since he's in Froch's hometown"

if clearly they didn't agree it was close? You can hardly claim Dirrell was never going to get a decision as his whole gameplan was based around getting one!!

He lost a close one. Get over it, and your own bias. Those who called it for Froch (I actually scored it a draw) are no less 'true boxing fans' than the whining YUU-ESS-AYYY contigent.

Now on to Kessler v. Ward.

117-110 is lunacy. I had Dirrell up by 1,but 117-110 is bollocks.

I am pretty sure his Grandfather told him he needed a KO because regardless of how it should have been scored he felt Dirrell would have a tough time winning a decision in Froch's backyard.

it was a bad decision i feel bad for dirrell,coming over too england and getting robbed like that.
poor reffing and shabby,biased commentary on primetime
i realized how bad froch actually is last night
half-decent power/chin but fights in slow motion and was hitting air for 12 rounds,looked terrible in there.

I thought he said the same.

117-110 is too wide.

[S.G.]

I gave Froch three rounds.
