To be honest I felt Dirrell should have won! He did hold too much and did run a fair bit but he was the better boxer last night. His defense was superb and he landed more and the better quiality punches were from him IMO! Froch was pushing the fight and showed more aggression but he missed a hell of a lot and didn't land as many clean punches as Dirrell did.
But after saying that it wasn't quite the robbery a lot of people are saying it was. If Dirrell had fought the first half of the fight the way he fought the second half of the fight, I'm sure Dirrell would have won. Dirrell held too much and complained too much and I think that ultimately worked against him. I felt Dirrell could have landed even more if he hadn't ran as much and had been a bit more aggressive.
I don't think we should be moaning as much, this tournament is awesome and has brought great match ups between some of the best fighters in the Super Middleweight division! I enjoyed both the Froch fight and the Abraham fight and I'm looking forward to the fights to come. I hope Taylor is ok aswell!
