I just rewatched Froch vs Dirrell.

[djtmal]

Dirrell was green and rose to the occasion reminscent of some of the old school legends when they faced their first stern test. The referee should have been pistol whipped for not taking any points from Froch with all of the rabbit punching, holding and hitting, etc. Reminded me of when G-man fought Benn. Dirrell doesn't have to hold his head down with this loss though. I expect him to be ready for anything these non skilled, bush league clubfighters have to offer.

I will never rewatch this fight.

116-112 without the bogus deduction.

Dirrell is the truth


First fight past 10 rounds, and versus world class oppositiion on a large state.


He rose to the occasion....Won....Got robbed.....and was still classy about it.

I genuinely would have scored the fight rather even, less the point deduction for Dirrell (which i didnt agree with) just edging it to Froch. The thing is which i would consider very important when judging, is that the close nothing rounds where nothing really happened (mainly 1&2) you would have to back the aggressor Froch. Reminiscent of Dela Hoya v Mayweather, People were sayin Hoya should have took the rounds even when not landing, how is this any different? Its double standards.
I was at the fight and have re-watched it. Dirrell did impress me but he jus didnt go that extra mile for the strap, he frustrated the hell out of Froch and myself so props to him for that, but if he was awarded the decision then i think there would be the same sort of response/case from Froch fans, it was a very over cautious performance, worthy of takin the most prestigious title in boxing? i really dont think so.
I must say he has definitely got my attention and i take my hat off to his sportsmanship at the end he was graceful in the way he took the decision.
He can take a punch for sure aswell, when Froch lands its a real thud so whether or not there clean shots, they still do damage!
Froch is going to have to up his game in Denmark lets hope ward can soften this Viking up a bit! I do honestly think he will have more success in landing against Kessler it will be a real brawl so looking forward to it.

Im new to the forum so be gentle!
