Froch-Dirrell Judge Scores Last 2 Rounds For Froch

[Matt Marvelous]

Dirrell KILLED Froch in rounds 11 and 12. You can't even argue otherwise. He finally started to let his hands go and look what happened. He hurt Froch with everything he threw. If he would've done that earlier he'd be the world champ right now.

You can certainly argue that Dirrell didn't kill Froch in round 12. Apart from that one flurry where he backed Froch up and a decent counter near the start, most of the round was uneventful, with the last minute being all Froch where he pinned Dirrell against the ropes and hit him repeatedly to the body. Might not have looked amazingly impressive, but was enough to win him the round in my eyes.

I don’t mind Carl Froch getting the decision over Andre Dirrell two Saturdays ago; I had it 114-113 for Dirrell and certainly a close decision either way shouldn’t have upset anybody. But I was flabbergasted to see the official scorecards a few days ago and learn that judge Massimo Barrovecchio of Italy gave rounds 11 and 12 to Froch, which is about as justifiable as having Larry David ahead of Rosie O’Donnell at the time of the stoppage. Because his final score was reasonable, Barrovecchio might escape scrutiny, and that would be a shame. Dubiously scored rounds should be reviewed by commissioners just as carefully as dubiously scored fights.- Eric Raskin

Froch clearly lost round 10-he was hurt in there and saved by the bell
Dirrell even came back stronger in round 11 and 12.
What surprises me is these things always happen and nothing ever gets done.Shouldnt judges be accountable for the decisions they make?

[bojangles1987]

Dirrell was robbed. If those judges gave any of the last three rounds to Froch, they robbed Dirrell.

[BattlingNelson]

I had round 11 for Direll as he finally opened up. Round 12 was Froch.

you mean those flurries that did'nt land?

[daggum]

froch's super inaccurate calzaghe flurry at the end of round 12 must have won him that round cause i have no idea what else he did. then again he is british so that might have won him the round eh british posters?

I had the 12th round for Froch, I had both 10&11 for Dirrell if i remember correct but i definitely scored the last round to Froch.

No but Dirrell's impression of Calzaghe impresses me better...
