Froch vs Dirrell - and the idea that Dirrell didn't do enough to take the belt..

[S.G.]

What the **** are you talking about ;cos its in Froch's hometown'???

Drivell didn't do eonough cos as a challenger he shoulda pressed the fight more, Froch was ther to defend, which he did, Dirrell was there to fight and take, which he didn't. Simple.

Err what? It's a boxing match; they were both there to win. The belt and who holds it at the time is inconsequential to the actual fight and how it should be scored.

You're saying Dirrell needed to do more than win the boxing match to deserve the belt?

I know how you feel dude.... This guy doesn't get it, and it's irritating. Forget the fact Froch landed 2-3 effective punches all night, and Dirrell landed 2-3 effective punches each rd...

Carl did **** all. Stop lying to yourself.

I love the logic that Froch gets rounds by default because Dirrell didn't fight on the front foot. Forget the fact that he had the better jab, cleaner punches, better ring generalship and rocked him in the last few rounds. What Dirrell should have done was lurch around hitting thin air.

When a fight is scored there is a belief that contender needs to do more than the champ to take the belt, however it goes for a round by round basis rather than the whole fight, because thats how judges score it. Judges cant score first 9 rounds to the contender then last three to the champion and give it to the champion because they felt like he did more in a fight.

Seriously, that argument is ridiculous. It's funny how people throw the whole "outboxing your opponent" thing out the window and only focus on that fact that he ran in some parts of the fight. Never mind that Froch didn't land **** the whole fight but apparently some are more impressed with ineffective agressiveness then clean, effective punching.

Exactly!

I like Froch, not his fightingstyle cause it looks like crap but his warrior mentality and ambition to fight everyone. I scored the fight 114-113 for Dirrel; he might have run like a chicken but he hit more and cleaner throughout the fight. Im not upset that Froch won because i still saw it as a close fight but it was ****ed up that some judge scored it 115-112 for Froch.

Compared to Valuev-Holyfield and some other Sauerland crap it was a fair decision.

I'm English, I scored it 116-112 Dirrell.

Dirrell stank the place out.

Froch stunk it out worse.

Like it or not atmosphere and crowd reaction effect judges, and the live audience did not like the way Dirrell "Ran" (is use inverted commars because i thought it was good defencive work myself) and especially his pathetic antics in the middle rounds, practically diving on the floor every time Froch cornered him.

Heres a few points:

1. If ANYONE and i do mean ANYONE scored the first round anything other than a draw, they no **** about boxing, neither landed a fcuking punch worth the name, it was the worse round of boxing i've seen in my life, **** even the ******** that was Calzaghe Vs Hopkins was better viewing.

2. If Dirrell had fought rounds 1-9 like he fought round 10-12 he wouldn't be sat without a belt. That was boxing, fcuk this hit and not be hit BS, it's for the Amatuers, if all you're landing is flicks with no power behind them don't fcuking complain if the Judges don't score the fights for you. It's boxing not Come Dancing, Malinaggi show more mean intentions than Dirrell did for the first 9 round and he's powderpuff with fcuked hands.

3. Tight fights are not robbery's, this was a tights fight for one reason and one reason only, Dirrell let it be a tight fight. He should have won, but he left it to chance because he would not engage, would not "fight" in his opponents back yard and you score nothing for making your opponent miss alot.
