Why did hbo not say it was dodgy decision???
I think you mean Showtime, and I assume they don't want to take the shine off the tournament - although the interviewer (I forget his name) clearly thought it was a dodgy result. They did all have Dirrell winning I believe.

The British punditry team, apart from Buncey, all looked very sheepish and alluded to it being a robbery too. Although even Buncey was reduced to effectively justifying the robbery ("Froch is the champion in his hometown you have to do extra to take the belt yadda yadda).

Why did the non english referees all score it to froch...
I have no idea.

whyt did the press have froch winning apart from one who had it a draw..
They were all British and our boxing media is notoriously home-centric in their views.

Why did dirrells corner say "you got kncok him out to win this" in thje final round...
They rightly assumed they wouldn't get a fair shake. "They won't give you a decision here".

Why did allan green have froch winning by 3 rounds...
I have no idea. Why did Berto, Dawson, Cunningham and Ward have Dirrell winning comfortably?

Why did *ea5t5ide boxing have froch winning..

Dirrell landed more than Froch in every single round. Froch only landed about 4 non-jabs throughout the twelve rounds. Dirrell may not have done a lot but he did way more than Froch.

Why did Froch not seem marked up? Maybe Dirrell lacks power or Froch just doesn't mark up easily - who knows, it's irrelevent anyway.

Why was dirrells face bloody and swollen with bleding nose and lips...??
As above; everyone physically reacts to being hit differently. Oh, and boxing is scored on rounds won, not how bloodied up your face is for the record.

Well put.

The scores were off. 115-112 Froch makes literally no sense. It would mean that every round that was close was given to Froch, which is absurd because in some of those rounds he didn't land a single punch.

Froch can have this one. He fought like a professional and applied enough pressure to win enough rounds to get a split decision in his home town.

That being said, Andre Dirrell looked a bit inexperienced. I'd bet anything that in a rematch, Dirrell would dominate Froch. Too quick, too precise, and too smart. You can say Froch won, okay maybe he did. But don't act like Froch put on a clinic or anything. For the majority of the fight, he looked flustered and frustrated. As was clearly seen when he threw Dirrell to the ground, Froch was baffled by Dirrell's speed, and couldn't connect like he wanted. Credit to Froch for his determination, but to reference another post in this thread, "Sorry Carl, he's just the better fighter".

And for those that say Dirrell just ran the whole night, how does that explain the fact that not only did Dirrell land the more powerful, meaningful shots, but he landed more and at a much higher percentage. I remember exchanges where Froch would whiff or graze Dirrell 5-6 times, and the crowd would go nuts. Dirrell would usually counter and land a solid hook or two and win the exchange.

So again, do I think Dirrell won? Maybe, but he didn't win convincingly, and to beat a defending champ in his backyard, you need to. But there's one thing that I don't have doubts about. Dirrell is the better athlete and the better fighter. With more seasoning he would've beaten Froch easily, and if they fight again I expect an easy night for Dirrell.

The answer to those questions was Tarver's comments at the end of the fight. I think that basically told the story.

Froch won with the smallest margin possible.
some statements are legit.

Answer my questions though:
Why does Froch look like an amateur?
Why did he struggle so much against a inexperienced Fighter like Dirrell?
What was that funny walk he made at the end of round 10?
Why the low connect ratio for Froch?
Etc..

good post and i was wondering why the referee wasn't pistol whipped for all the non calls on froch...last thing we need is another gman/benn situation...
