The 'Dirrell got robbed against Froch' myth

[MOTHER DUCKER]

That's the attitude of a corrupted judge.

Oh please are you gonna tell me Dirrel landed loads of punches and way more then Froch then? cause if you do you clearly did not watch the fight. He may have landed more (slightly) but that's not all judges judge a fight by.. aggression/who is pressing the fight and other stuff is taken into account. If Froch had stayed in his corner 0 punches would have been thrown or landed all night that's how gay Dirrel fought.

it's a fact

[Hitman932]

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.

Froch never hurt Dirrell even once. WTF are you talking about?

[Spit Dialect]

"Robbery" is a word used way too much in boxing. Do I feel Dirrell won the fight? Yes but I wouldn't go as far as saying he was robbed. I thought he landed more punches and the better shots but it's tough to beat a dude in his own back yard.

Even Dirrells corner was telling him he needed to win more convincingly because it was in Froch's hometown.

I did have Dirrell winning the fight though.

He was robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm neither american or british and think froch won

he clearly wasnt robbed, u have to beat the champion clearly to take his title and dirrell didnt do that. if he had 8-9 rounds in the bag u could say he was robbed, but he didnt. the fight was very close and couldve gon eighter way as is proved by all the diffrent opinions on who won, in a situation like that its never wrong to go with the champion.

dirrell robbed himself, he was clearly the better fighter but wasnt mentally prepared for the big stage. but he redeemed himself in his very next fight, a much harder fight. hes back in the tourney and if his punch resistance wasnt damaged by the KO he will be a great fighter one day.

if he fights froch again dirrell will knock him out, first time around he threw away the fight though.

Froch did nothing, at all. I have yet to see any one that agrees that Froch won, say anything else other than Dirrell's performance. You guys have no argument at all, all you have is "Look what Dirrell did" wtf did Froch do? get his face tagged up that's what. Dirrell went matrix on Froch every time he was caught in the corner. His counter punching was killing Froch as well.

Just look at Froch's face when he was announced the winner. The face of a guilty man, who knows he is guilty.

Damn now Froch hurt Dirrell too?

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?

no, if dirrell didnt deserve to win the world title then surely froch must keep it. thats what happened
