New home-cooking scandal in the super-six.

[Heeb]

When I saw home-cooking scandal, I was hoping there was a Super Six scandal that actually involved cooking...oh well.

Dirrell lost the fight himself. Running like you're in a marathon doesn't win you fights. Its the boxing purist that are the most butthurt about it.

Im a boxing purist too but running around, falling down and holding dont come under that umbrella.

[BattlingNelson]

So Froch won the fight because he pressed the action, even though he got hit more and missed more punches?

Squirrel lost because he was clinging at Carls **** and spending more time spread-eagled like a drunk ****** than he was showing aggression.

Froch did not win the fight. Dirrel lost it.

You guys can keep digging all you want to. The fact is that Dirrell landed at least triple the punches that Froch did.

[Shadows]

Yeah, and it's also called "boxing", not "punching and missing".

How about we count how many punches Froch landed. It shouldn't take long, you can count them on one hand.

Do hip tosses and rabbit punches count?

Sorry, but I'm only being fair here. Both guys employed "negative tactics".

[S.G.]

Im a boxing purist too but running around, falling down and holding dont come under that umbrella.

Nevertheless, Dirrell still beat Froch at the actual "fighting" part too.

Yeah, 'round here we determine a boxers abilities by how many times he can miss his opponent throughout the course of a fight.

Suirrel lost because he was clinging at Carls **** and spending more time spread-eagled like a drunk ****** than he was showing aggrision.

Froch did not win the fight. Dirrel lost it.

But landing more punches (and the more effective, might I add) and avoiding more punches doesn't win you fights? What exactly does win you fights, in a boxing match?

Following the extensive hometown advantages allowed for american André Ward, it was believed by most, that the practice of home-town referees and judges was to be a thing of the past given the tourneys international flavour.

Not so.

According to BILD Andre Direll's promotor Gary Shaw has, like his US compatriot Joe Goosen, made arrangements so that both the referee and one of the judges is from Direll's homestate of Michigan. One of the other judges is the mexican who had Direll as winner in his close encounter with Carl Froch in Nottingham.

The final judge is Gino Cavalleri. Both sides agree on him.


The rules in the super six are as follows:

not too sure about dirrell vs carlos frochos...

You're right counting all the punches in the fight would be easier a hell of a lot easier than just counting Dirrell hugs. If you don't understand why Dirrell then you are ******ed or a blind fan. I'm just glad the judges saw through Dirrell cowardly hustle and did not reward it with a championship belt which he clearly doesn't deserve.
