to all the people that think froch wasnt hurt (video)

weebler trying hard to protect this guy lol.. "froch wasnt rabbit punching he was just being a gentlemen and scratching the bak of dirrells head for him"

[Benny Leonard]

what did the ref do? if anything the ref did Dirrell a favour by taking a point off him because it forced him to engage, you know, like actually fight

Agree with that. He still should have had a warning but it did light a fire under his ass. I kind of thought he might fold after the point deduction because of the way he was fighting prior, but he proved me wrong.

I would like to see a rematch to clear things up.


Froch was hurt but Dirrell didn't try to go for the finish. You could see it in Froch's legs as well when he punched back...he was hurt.

lol. i respect all fighters but i just think there should be equality in boxing no matter where ur fighting.

Froch was hurt but he fought back and didn't go down. Good for him.

agreed .....................

i agree froch was engaging the fight but he wasnt landing any punches, dirrell was running and catching him with shots.

which weren't hurting him. It was pat and run nonsense and I'm not surprised the judges weren't impressed. The last two rounds is the way the fight should've been from the start, a proper fight.

So, Dirrell should have put himself at a tactical disadvantage the entire fight?

It's the same thing over and over for defensive fighters.

If you use too much defense, you're a ****ty fighter. If you fight too aggressively to please people, you're dumb and fought the wrong fight.

its better than not landing shots which froch was doing very well!

as much as I'm not a fan of Mayweather's backfoot style, at least it can be said he's constantly throwing punches even if they aren't big shots

Dirrell did not throw with any frequency at all, he was flat out running for a lot of the time

maybe this matador style is your idea of boxing, but he took it way beyond the boundaries of defensive fighting, it was defensive running for a large proportion of the fight and it ruined the spectacle and clearly pissed off a couple of the judges

neither were landing very many shots to the point where it almost became farcical. One round like that is acceptable in a fight, 5 or 6 is just miserable and it was Dirrell's fault, he made it that way with his approach.
