        You're counting clinches as Dirrell holding, it's not the same thing. Yes Dirrell held a lot I already said that, but Froch was by far the dirtier fighter.

I scored round nine 10-10, even, and I scored round 10 9-9 because Dirrell won the round easily but was deducted a point. Round 12 was close but I gave it to Direll for landing the cleaner shots.

          Other stats I counted mostly fouls:
          Dirrell:
          Holding - 16 times (didn't hold really until the 6th round)
          Punching on the break - 1 time
          Slipped on the ads - 3 times

          Froch:
          Holding - 6 times
          Holding and hitting - 4 times
          Rabbit Punches - 8 times
          Throwdowns - 1 time
          Punches on the break - 4 times

          Overall I'd say it way a close fight, but Dirrell won. I also believe Froch fought dirtier than Dirrell, which has been an item of debate. Although Dirrell held a good amount, as Lennox Lewis says "holding is a part of the sport", whereas rabbit punching and hitting on the breaks is more of a foul. Froch even held Dirrell by the back of the head and puched him on a few occassions.

          In a fight with some swing rounds, I'm fine with Froch getting the decision. I didn't give it to him, but scoring always has opinion mixed in. What I do confirm is that it was Froch who was fighting dirty and not Dirrell.
          it wasnt close... dirrell 8-4. froch lost to a green prospect.
