the "learn about froch" thread

[Flawless*]

Dirrell schooled Froch. Froch is not even on Dirrells level. Froch is skilled as Gatti but he always get the decision

[D-MiZe]

Lets face it, if Froch was a complete bum with no skills he wouldn't have won a bronze at the amateur championships.

froch lmao boxrec had froch landing more punches...

Also why ddi emmuel steward, graham houston, steven bunce, the ringside press, boxing scnene, Ea5tside boxing, allan green, jimmy iowa, dan rafael all score it to froch??

Even dirrells promotor gary shaw said and i quote "dirrell didnt do enough to win"

lol very convincing. im sure i can find just as many people that say the opposite. the fact is he landed nothing all night like the video i showed you already proves. show me more than 50 punches land on dirrell from froch. i didnt think you could.

Also, I have to comment on this Sky Sport section on Froch. It's interesting to hear him speak but it's DISGUSTING the way they downplay his achievements.

Quotes like:

'Jermain Taylor was the former undisputed supermiddleweight (sic) champion of the world but many believe he was past his best when Froch fought him'.

While I'm not saying that Taylor was absolutely prime let's get the facts straight. He was coming off a very close decision loss in a fight with Pavlik and a dominating performance over Lacy at 168. He also certainty didn't look shot in the Froch fight.. he took some big shots, showed speed, defense and the outstanding skills and punch variety you would expect from a World Champion. Froch just ground him down and knocked him out in a great win.

Sky would never downplay a Hatton or Khan win like that... no matter how ****ting ridiculous the win is. Example: a completely shot Castillo and blown up 36 year old Barrera that wasn't even beaten by Khan.

They also hype Haye's garbage WBA circus tour as a legitimate Heavyweight Championship. Get real - Ruiz and Valuev are OK boxers but everyone knows the K-bros RULE that division. Not that I don't enjoy watching Haye fight - I've been following him for a while now and am always excited when he is on.

Anyway... hope Froch gets the Sky PPV treatment he deserves after the Kessler fight. No idea why Sky aren't over him like a rash. He comes to fight the best and is just a good regular guy from central England, good stuff.

I see you are one of those people that actually believe the '6% statistics'.

The real percentages were nearer 25%-30% in favour of Dirrell.

no. i said that froch didnt even land 50 punches. i didnt get into percentages.

[Holtol]

Lets face it, if Froch was a complete bum with no skills he wouldn't have won a bronze at the amateur championships.

But he comes forward to take your head off. He does not run away and fight in spots, and hold when someone is on the inside with him.Plus he does not do the bolo circles when he is winning. So he must be a bum.

He's ****e yet 26-0 and world champion?

oh and slim, you wanna talk boxrec! they have wlad as the 3rd best fighter in the world. lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and look at that, dirrell is ranked higher than froch!

[Shattered Jaw]

no. i said that froch didnt even land 50 punches. i didnt get into percentages.

Well it's a good assumption that in a 12 round world title fight at least 400 punches were thrown and by each boxer so you were implicitly constraining Froch's connect percentage at less than ~12%. Which is nonsense.
