Don't go there John...
As I first watched the fight I thought it was a close fight but Dirrell had won... after I re-watched it a few days ago I have clearly to say that Dirrell won this fight... I though I was even being generous towards Froch in giving him a round where he was clearly hurt at the end... and it was 8-4 for Dirrell...
You don't need to like his style or appreciate it but boxing has clear rules... and being a warrior or fighting negative ain't a part of a proper scoring system...
Dirrell outlanded him...
Dirrell landed the cleaner punches...
I don't have seen any numbers of the fight but I even believe that Dirrell throw more punches then Froch did... which the aggressor should usually do...
Yes, Dirrell hold a lot later in the fight but holding is not a scoreable criteria in boxing...
So you can def. ask how Dirrell fought and be offended with that if you more into the warrior kind of stuff... but there is no question in my mind that based on boxing rules criteria of how a fight gets scored Dirrell won this fight...
