My belated Froch-Dirrell scorecard (second viewing)

[z0jo]

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

if froch never landed anything how come dirrell was the one with bloody nose and lips?

[one-Punch]

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

I think you need to watch the fight again. I had to give Froch rounds, and still, Dirrell beat him in my books. Funny thing is, I thought Froch was going to dominate Dirrell. Dirrell was kind of a ***** tho.

He didn't mean literally nothing. Froch landed some of his jabs, which caused the blood, and Froch did get home a power shot or two, only one that was overly effective where he rocked Dirrell (Can't remember the round). Dirrell was using Carls head as a speed bag...

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.

[Earl-Hickey]

That scorecard is a disgrace, I had Direll by 2 rounds, which i knew meant Froch would get the decision.

There was a real case for disqualifying Direll during some of those middle rounds, for lack of combat.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

I like Froch and I didn't like some of Dirrell's behaviour during the fight. Even so, Dirrell was the clear winner.

[DiegoFuego]

I had 116-111 for Dirrell. Not even close.

[Gutz]

Dirrell won that fight..
