Till this day, Forch's hometown gift over Dirrell dosen't sit right with me

[Rick Grimes]

Sorry but fighting every round just trying to survive doesn't win you a fight.

[mariobrotherpr]

Dirrell is a coward, who tries NOT to engage and fight inside the ring, hoping the judges validate his coward ways.


He's De la Hoya vs Tito personified.

I mean I've re-watched the fight 3 times, most recently 30 minutes ago and Dirrell even dominated the championship rounds 11 and 12. How could they give the fight to Froch and specially how in the world did two judges score that fight 115-112 ?

Hometown, defending champion, Dirrels style of fighting.

theres alot of horrible posts going around from the likes of seaney and freedom fighter and this is no acception...

1)DIRRELL EVEN ADMITTED FROCH WON THE 12TH IN AN INTERVIEW after, so already you are wrong on your opening sentences.

2) even you got rid of the judges, froch won on the international press row judges

3) dan rafael, manny stewart, kevin iowa etc all said froch won, even gary shaw admitted it wasnt a robbery and dirrell didnt do enough

4) the punch stats show froch outlanbded dirrell, which he did hence why dirrell face was a car wreck after just 3 rounds...



Goodnight and **** off...

I respect everyone's opinion, but I never saw it as being close at all. Here is USA Today's scorecard:

all of the british news papers scored it to froch, as did the international press row,, as did top jounalists, dan rafael and graham houston..whats your point ****???

[Bad Boy Dazza]

And the judges saw this. And I saw it. And a few (very few) posters here saw it. And it panned out as a fact in his later career.

He fought like a coward.

I scored it 114-113 for Dirrel but i had not problem with Froch getting the decision, Froch was the agressor all night Dirrel just run and did a weak effort. You got to take the title from the Champion, you don't go to the champions hometown and take his title by fighting the way Dirrel did on that night, he and his corner should have known that and tried harder.

[Joe2608]

I think i had Dirrell winning at the end but he ran like a ***** and hugged Froch all night it was one of the worst displays of boxing i've ever seen so i really don't care that Froch got the decision against Dirrell.

Exactly, he didn't derserve to become champion fighting that way.

How do you win a fight running and flopping around the ring like a fish?
