    if Dirrell landed punches and it probably would have effected the scoring more in his favor.

    as sure he was making Froch miss plenty at times

    but in the same token one could say Dirrell was borderline running.

    and when it comes down to the above

    in the guys hometown the judges will be more likely to give the man who's making the fight

    rather then the one playing keep away.
    Crotch can't win if he can't land punches!

    Dirrell got robbed.

      I know what Dirrell did to make the fight closer then it should have been but what did Froch do to make it a close fight?

            But you have to LAND punches, which Froch didnt do. If you dont land punches you dont win, doesnt matter about pressure which he wasnt doing either. So many times Dirrell stood in Froch's face and Froch just stood there afraid to throw for fear of being countered. People say Floyd ran from Oscar, but so many times Floyd stood right in front of Oscar and Oscar didnt throw, for fear of being countered. Thats what counter punchers do, they counter to get you think about not throwing, that along with Froch missing and not landing, Id say mission accomplished.

              I had Collazo winning by a point in the fight with Berto but that definitely could have gone either way.
              Froch-Dirrell was definitely a Dirrell victory.

                you act like Froch landed zero punches the entire fight

                get real.

                    If Dirrell was effectively counter punching the whole night he would have won the fight easily

                    he did a very good job of slipping and ducking from the punches .. but not enough counter punching.

                      Berto - Collazo was not a robbery, very close fight that i had Berto edging.

                      Froch - Dirrell was a robbery, Froch won no more than 3-4 rounds.
