If Dirrell had fought the first 9 rounds like he fought the last he would've won, and I think he knows deep down he simply didn't do enough to TAKE the title. He didn't land anywhere near the amount of punches some people are suggesting either, most of the punches hit Froch's shoulder and were glancing blows at best. Neither fighter really landed anything big apart from the odd punch. It was a close/poor fight, and a case can be made for either fighter winning but the champion got the benefit of the doubt with the decsion.
Just a quick note on the dirty tactics, it is actually ilegal to deliberatly duck your head below your opponents waiste. Now I don't condone rabbit punching, but Dirrells antics were hardly that of a choirboy either.
