    Haye should have won and I said at the time that Dirrell should have as well. So we're not all inconsistent. But yeah there's people out there who can't be objective and appreciate that sometimes fighters have to "run" in order to have a chance.

      The double standard has been exposed!

      I thought Dirrell and Haye both won their fights. Froch and Valuev are poor excuses for boxers, but I must admit, they have some devoted fans. (at least Froch, lol)

      This isn't a hate post against UK fans, but you gotta admit there is a serious double standard here. I also don't understand it how Haye called the Klitchko brothers boring when he used the same style...

      GREAT win for Haye! I'll be cashing my wager now. Thanks Hayemaker!
      Dirrel wasnt moving up in weight fighting someone half his size.

        Dirrell and Froch are within 10lbs of each other, the size difference in this fight was like Pac facing one of the Klitschko's.

            I thought that both Haye and Dirrell won their fights. Haye won his clearer than Dirrell won his though. Plus as Arcyani said, Carl Froch isn't a 7ft2, imposing man mounting so it's hard to give Dirrell an excuse to back away and spoil (something Haye didn't do) so much.

              Haye had plenty of brits coming over to cheer him on

              Dirrell did'nt have many americans over apart from his wife, kids(maybe?), mother? and about 3 more people

              dirrell would've had more cheers but he's not as accomplished as haye so haye is known by the majority, no suprise he has fans flying over there

              no doubt Dirrells time will come, he's a good fighter with great potential

                Fail!

                Haye was the betting favorite.

                Dirrell was the underdog.
