If Dirrell does what he did vs Froch he should win every time, no matter where he fights, whether you like it or not! He outlands you, what rule exactly... Never mind. You are defending cheating in boxing, should be ashamed. Dirrell won the Froch fight and it wasn't even close, he was robbed. I like Abraham too but if Dirrell wins, he wins.
    YOU are defending cheating, not me.

      Reiss just smirked when Ward landed his best headbutt of the fight, and Kessler winced in pain.

      One California judge remained as well.
      kessler was already a beaten fighter by the time the headbutts busted him up

        No. I just don't want to see another good fighter cheated.

        They whine and cry about Germany, but the worst home cooking has always been in the USA.

          Hopefully it does not really effect the fight, I think Dirrell will win but I do hope he deserves it if he wins.
          HE deserved to win vs Froch as was robbed. I'm not defending Abraham should be robbed, nothing like that. But for some reason I'm pretty sure Carnivore didn't see nothing wrong with those scorecards...
          Things like "pressing the fight" translate into rubbing my hairy chest on to your face while coming forward being jabbed and countered to death shouldn't be a scoring criteria, that's all i'm saying.

            No, his first cut in the 2nd or 3rd round was from a deliberate headbutt.

                I don't think Froch 4 rounds in that fight I thought Dirrell killed him, if Dirrell gets the nod in a close fight whatver that is karma and to Dirrell credit he did not cry about it.

                I want the guy that deserves to win to win though.

                  That means Dirrell can run all night and still win a decision on the cards.

                  The home ref will protect Dirrell from Arthur, and perhaps deduct points from Abraham without a good reason. Dirrell will be permitted to headbutt, hold, rabbit punch and low blow as much as he wants.

                  The rules of the Super Six state that ALL four officials including the referee are to be from neutral countries. Not only are all four officials from the USA, they're all from Michigan.

                  If Abraham's promoter Sauerland has any good sense at all, he will pull Arthur out immediately.

                  Isnt that a Knee-jerk reaction Lunney? All they need to do is change one judge to a german one and the ref to a neutral ref. No need for an over-reaction here.

                      you may be right, i havent seen the fight in a while i only remember the billy goat-headbutt that came much later in the fight, kessler was done by then

                      although, i still wouldnt call the butts "deliberate"
