    Andre and his team knew, KNEW! they were coming to Nottingham, his trainer said in the last round he would have to KO Carl to win.

    When you got all these factors and all Andre done was backtrack and jab you can't blame the outcome.

    Froch is still a overhyped bum and Mikkell would beat him but to take the belt you have to beat the champion convincingly because he has all of advantage as seen last night, backtracking and jabbing isn't the same as someone coming forward and landing the shots.

    By beating the champion convincingly it means beating them so badly each round it would be blue murder if he didn't get it and suspect fixing, but it wasn't it was close.
    Yea.. I agree

      Dirrell did run and clinch but he also landed more punches and was busier in most of the rounds.

      All Froch did was hit air and fight dirty.

      Froch doesn't win the fight based on clinching less.

        Froch just pressed well.

        But the one who got hurt in the fight was Froch.

        But i agree, it was not a robbery. Just a close fight that could go either way.

        I saw Dirrel doing enough to take the title.

            You can criticize Dirrel style all you want(running,bitching,etc.) Dirrel frusterated Froch, out jabbed him, out punched him, landed more effective punches and staggered Froch in the late roundes, You don't give a fighter points because you rather see a slugfest than a fighter using his boxing skills.


            Fact is Dirrel lost.

            You are acting like Dirrel, did some sort of Mayweather style boxing clinic on Froch that aint the case bud.

            I just re-watched the fight on showtime and it was clear Dirrel did not do enough to win.

            After watching the fight again.Dirrel couldn't handle Froch's power he wilted that's why he need to hug and run.

            Anyways I'm gone untill next fight.Peace.
