What rounds did you score for Froch??

[Sin City]

It was not a close fight what did Froch do to win the fight, what Dirrell did does not change that he was the only one landing clean effective blows.

the first few rounds were close ones that could have gone either way.. and when Dirrel was busy holding, Froch was busy working him to the body and head.
again, I had Dirrel winning but you can't say Froch wasn't landing either. Anyway, usually a close round expecially in the champions home town will go to the champion.
did Direll really expect to win by clinching, running, and tossing himself on the floor then throwing a flurry here and there? He made the fight a lot harder for himself then it should've been.

Yesterday was my first time watching him fight. He did not gain a fan or impress me.. that was my second time watching Froch fight and I couldn't care less for the guy.
One is a coward and a whyny little *****, the other is a dirty fighter.

I dont think anyone here is saying that Dirrell put on a masterful performance or that it was at times embarassing to see him fight the way he did.

however what I think they are saying is that in the actual scoring, not what you felt or didn't feel, how does anyone give Froch at the very least 6 rounds (which is what it would take for him to win)

I personally have a hard time finding 6 rounds to give to him due to his inactivity and trouble doing anything against Dirrell when he did decide to let his hands go

dont get me wrong Dirrell fought a ****ty fight and should have put an !!!! on it because Froch didn't come to fight but in actual scoring the rounds and seeing who won its very hard for me to think Froch actually won this

I didn't have Froch winning.. I had Dirrel but I could see why the decision would go to him is what I am saying.

I did too and yes I can understand you view about it.

to me I think personal disdain or bias for what Dre was doing in there probably influenced the scoring moreso than anything Froch did or Dirrell didn't do

judges are human and if Dre is doing something they don't like then yeah chances are harder for him to gain the edge in a somewhat close round

Froch did zero and the champion thing is a cop out arguement. Froch won no more then 4 rounds.

I watched the fight four times and even being generous to Froch he won no more then four rounds.

It is Dirrell's fault because he did not step on the gas and prove his control of the fight he left to much up to the judges. That really does not change that Froch did nothign to win the fight while Dirrell did something, something is much better then nothing.

The man that landed the cleaner effective blows was Dirrell, Froch landed maybe 5 good punches in the whole fight, Dirrell landed 4 or 5 good counters a round, if you want to defend the worst decision of the year go ahead

[Eaner0919]

yeah I think thats the point I was driving at

while the overall view about this fight was that it was bad enough to be close most cannot see how it could be scored with 6 rounds going Froch's way when you actually put down the 10s and the 9s

Dirrell should have done more he had the oppurtuinity to leave no queation about the fight. In the other guys hometown leaving it up the the judge to score 100% right is playing a very dangerous game. So the loss really is Dirrell's own falut.

That said Dirrell was the only one doing anything in the fight so to me there is no way to give Froch the nod, even saying it was a close fight to me is giving Froch way to much credit because he did nothing to make it a close fight. Did Dirrell fight ugly yes, but I would say that is his style (a spoiler) and Forch had no answers for what Dirrell was doing. If someone did not like what Dirrell was doing fine, but he was landing clean effective blows which is a lot more then I can say for Froch.
