Round 12

10-9 Dirrell

On this viewing, I have Dirrell ahead by one point, on previous viewings I have had Froch ahead by a point. It just proves to me how very, very close this fight was. At least 4-5 rounds were extremely tight and close. If anybody scores the fight wider than that then they are wrong. I reckon if I watched the fight tommorow, I would score it to Froch because I spotted something I missed, and then the day after I would score it to Dirrell because I was impressed with his counters. At the end of the day, this fight is a one pointer to either fighter or a draw. It's genuinely too close to call. However I am glad Froch won because Dirrell ran, complained and spoiled for a lot of the fight. Good luck to him though. If he started the fight how he fought after the 9th, then he would have probably won.

[Silencers]

Round 9 was Froch's best round of the fight IMO, he actually outjabbed Dirrell and landed the better shots in the round. Signs of fatigue from Dirrell. At last a stern warning for hitting behind the head for Froch. 87-84 Dirrell.

[DC Fight Fan]

Right as some of you know I had a large wager on AA to beat Taylor by KO and Froch to do the same to Andre, so I saw a little profit on my bets.
I couldnt believe the result from the Froch fight and was there live and as I have already posted not many Froch fans thought he had won, so Im gonna do a round by round replay right now, so here goes.

Round 1 Dirrell lands the most scoring punches, all 6 of them lol.

Round 2 I got this even cant make a case for either side to win the round.

10-10

Round 3 Easy round for Dirrell, Froch picks up his first warning.

Round 4 Another round to close to call both had limited success.

10-9 Dirrell



Im from UK and had a massive wager on this fight as I said and didnt think Froch was gonna schooled by Dirrell but thats what happened.

I pretty much agree with your scoring and think about this. You had it 118-112 but even if you give Froch ALL of the 10-10 rounds you scored it would still be 115-112 for Dirrell. Then, give Froch the 10-8 in round 10 it would still be 114-113 for Dirrell. I actually had it 116-111 for Dirrell but can see 115-112. No way I can ever see Froch winning the fight. Dirrell landed more punches, persevered through Froch's dirty tactics and was the only one of the two to actually hurt his opponent. I think it was a fairly easy fight to score for Dirrell.

[xAUGUSTUSx]

His job is to enforce the rules, not question Dirrell's credentials.

If he was'nt holding he would'nt get hit in the back of the head. Holding is also against the rules.

[Silencers]

Round 10 clearly to Dirrell but with the point deduction it becomes a 9-9 round. The point deduction was unwarranted IMO considering the nature of the fight, Froch's fouls have been way more fragrant. Dirrell hurt Froch with a left hand late in the round. Crowd went totally quiet. 96-93 Dirrell.

Sidenote, the crowd at ringside haven't exactly been nice to Dirrell, screaming obscenities at him and stuff. Expected better from them honestly. Froch's girl is hot and all, she's gotten annoying though.

[The_Demon]

He lost the boxing match but won the fight. Plain and simple! this is'nt ametuer boxing. We pay to watch fighters fight not score points. I'm a stocky 5'6 guy and when I'm sparring I can get cute like that whenever I feel like it. So Dirrell doing it does'nt impress me at all. I want to see them fight to see who's the better fighter. I did'nt even need to watch this fight to know that dirrell is the better boxer. Who does'nt know that? I don't think dirrell is ready for a tournament like this. This takes real men to this kind of thing. too bad they won't let dirrell go back to the ametuers.

you nailed it right there
how can you give it too froch when you just said he lost the boxing match?
you ****in ******

[Silencers]

If he was'nt holding he would'nt get hit in the back of the head. Holding is also against the rules.

I'm not saying holding isn't against the rules but when there's rabbit punching going on, warn that guy too, if there's punching on the break, warn him, if he's butting him, warn him. The ref has let Froch get away with a lot of stuff in this fight.

[Sam D. Menace]

If he was'nt holding he would'nt get hit in the back of the head. Holding is also against the rules.

you need to **** up, there have been many occasions where people hold, and you dont see the other guy wailing away with rabbit punches, it's called inside fighter, if your **** enough(like froch) to let the other guy in and grab your arms to the point you cant smash him on his face(not the back of the head) then it's your own fault

[Sam D. Menace]

he must have not realise it was a boxing match, thought he was watching mma or some****
