The 'Dirrell got robbed against Froch' myth

[Slick_Rick]

If remember correctly I had it 114-113 Froch

It would have been a draw, but had Froch winning due to the point deduction.

Dirrell fought like he was still in the amateurs, most of what he was throwing was barley making impact and then ran or held for the rest of the round.
He would have won though if he took more initiative, but unfortunately for him he didn't.

Claiming either won by a clear margin is extremely biased.

[QUOTE=Spray_resistant;8030318]PPL need to just except that even if you land more ineffective slaps than your opponent in a round, all of the running, holding, and intentional falling to the floor can influence scoring and lose you a round that you could have won should you have taken a step forward just once.

Dirrell lost himself the fight and in no way deserved to win a world title.[/QUOTE]

look at it the other way, did froch deserve to keep hold of his title for landing next to nothing the whole fight whilst rabbit punching and getting his neck snapped back quite frequently?

Im sorry guys but the way Dirrell fought is not the way you win a world title, it was a pathetic and whimpy performance and no one deserves to be a world champion that way.

bro give up, americans will always make excuses because they cant admit their man was beaten. dirrell deserved to be Knocked out for his coward of a performance. he 100 percent did not deserve to win. thank god justice was done

the fker now faked to get out of being knocked out by abraham. cant wait till he fights someone like abraham again, the ***** will get destroyed

That doesn't make any sense "can't wait till he fights someone like abraham again" when he just whipped Abraham's azz.

He showed the urgency and will to win in addition to landing more than ppl are trying to make it seem like he did.

Even if he wasn't landing at a very good rate it he was landing hard enough to actually do some damage because Dirrell did have his nose bloodied.

So yes out of the 2 men I would say Froch deserved to go home with his title, though it was a **** fight and I only had Froch up by 1 point.

People go on about how Froch hit air all night but im sorry Dirrel was not much better either.. he didn't land much, maybe a lil more but what with all the running/hugging and being in the mans backyard he was never winning like that. Americans are used to getting the home advantage but it's nice for a change when its the other way around.

Let's not try to make this a myth now we all know wtf happened that night and Dirrell got jacked of a win.

[Shattered Jaw]

Froch landed some decent shots himself. A lot of Andre's punches fell short as well. Both hurt each other in the fight (I believe Froch hurt Andre more). Connect percentages were probably around 25% for Froch and 30% for Dirrell.

Don't believe the 50%/6% stats - think for yourself for a change.

That's the attitude of a corrupted judge.
