My belated Froch-Dirrell scorecard (second viewing)

[Easy-E]

I scored it 115-114 for Froch. It was a very close fight but I thought Froch edged it.

it really was not close though. Froch could not land anything.

I think that's a bit extreme but I did score it 116-112 for Dirrell.

me too same score card

Mostly everything Froch supposedly 'landed' was either a cuffing shot, blocked, ineffective, or outright missed. Dirrell, on the other hand, snapped the Crotch's head back all night with a confident smile. Anyone doubting that needs to watch the HD cap and slow down every punch frame by frame. It's that obvious.

T'was a good laff, anyway. Kezzers should murk him, if he has even a smidge of his old self left.

I had Dirrell by one point but he didnt box a beautiful fight, outta here with that nonsense. If he didnt hold and whine like a b!tch, he would've humiliated Froch.. cuz when he was landing he would get in his shots and evade Frochs slow ass punches so if he did that for 3 mins every round he would've won clearly.

[CrackYourJaw]

LOL.

That's a big change.

The whole fight was shambolic from start to finish.

I thought Dirrell beat him comfortably by 4 rounds.

Watch Carl Froch's face at the end, his reaction says it all. He looks as though he knew he lost the fight, his facial expression bore the resemblance of a nervous and anxious man. He looked quite scared and resigned to defeat. He even went down on his knees with Dirrell (quite readily too, he capitulated quite easily to that demand IMO) await the verdict.

Then when the card were read out he looked bemused and then it dawned on him that the fight was fixed in his favour (presumably so him and Kessler could meet in the final or have a big fight down the line sometime) and then in the post fight interviews Froch gave the typical He-man arrogant answers that are so typical of him.

The key to the entire scoring of the fight is to watch Froch's fight and reaction immediately after the fight all the way until the announcing of the scores.

He looked nervous, anxious and looked like a man who KNEW he didn't put in good work (I thought he looked like an amateur in there) and RESIGNED to defeat. Then when the scores came in his entire body language changed and he realised the fight was fixed in his favour.

I also thought the way he bad mouthed Dirrell was also very unsporting and lacked total class. He also shows contempt for other fellow Brits like Khan, Calzaghe and some of the Olympic boxers.
It's no wonder he has a small fanbase and none of the UK TV channels want to air his fights Live - the guy is a total pr*ck, totally classless and carries himself with no dignity whatsoever. The moment he loses, he'll be forgotten very quickly.


I hope Dirrell gets a rematch and schools him and puts a final end to Carl Froch and his career.

[βetamax]

yea yea..who cares about things like thoroughly outboxing your opponent. Dirrell "ran" and that should cancel out all his landed punches. What really matters is pressing your opponent whether it's effective or not and that's why Froch deserved the win.

[-EAGLE-]

yea dirrell won; i saw that the first night; btw pittypat what were you drinking the night of the fight? lol;
