Everyone see's a fight different and scores it different..You said you thought Dirrell won against Froch and most likely felt he was robbed,I did not see it that way I felt the right man won the fight..A lot of people felt Froch beat Kessler(I was one of umm)but I did not feel that fight was a robbery,it was close and could have gone either way imo..

Dirrell didn't deserve to win against Froch IMO.Everyone see's a fight different and scores it different..You said you thought Dirrell won against Froch and most likely felt he was robbed,I did not see it that way I felt the right man won the fight..A lot of people felt Froch beat Kessler(I was one of umm)but I did not feel that fight was a robbery,it was close and could have gone either way imo..Comment

Froch pushed the fight,while Dirrell held and hit and avoided for most of the fight..Everybody while watching a fight are looking for different things and that's why I was not giving Dirrell many rds early..Comment

I did not feel he did enough to take a belt off a champion in his backyard or anywhere else for that matter..If he would have fought like he fought vs AA different story,but we have to understand Froch is not AA..Froch would have been in position to counter,that's why Dirrell was holding and hitting and avoiding..Every fight(imo)must be scored a lil different based on what each fighter brings to the table..Comment

Yeah that's what I feel too. Dirrell has ducked Ward since 2006 or something. I recall his team said he wasn't ready, and then that brain ****... SMH. Respect to both though.
That's true it was a close fight. However when you break down a scorecard, it's a lot easier to justify your choice. Close rounds, but Kessler controlled him.Everyone see's a fight different and scores it different..You said you thought Dirrell won against Froch and most likely felt he was robbed,I did not see it that way I felt the right man won the fight..A lot of people felt Froch beat Kessler(I was one of umm)but I did not feel that fight was a robbery,it was close and could have gone either way imo..
* Kessler - Total Thrown: 765, Total Connects: 147 (19%)
* Froch - Total Thrown: 546, Total Connects: 98 (18%)
Ststs don't tell everthing indeed, but Kessler did more.
Maybe so, he ran and moaned, but IMO, he landed the cleaner and harder shots. Heck Dirrel got a point taken off while Froch got away with Rabbit punching.Comment

I think once Ward fights away from home he will be exposed by Froch,that long jab of Froch will give Ward hella problems..Comment

I can understand that, but from the fight I saw, and judging on the shots that landed, Dirrell stunned Froch once and made him go to the ropes, and hit Froch with some good counters.
I agree on your point about the champ as well, however I ahd Dirrel winning by 3 round or something. I forgot now though.Comment

Froch was rabbit punching because of the tactic's Dirrell was using,he was not fighting straight up he was using tricks in order not to be hit and they were just as dirty as what Froch was doing..Yeah that's what I feel too. Dirrell has ducked Ward since 2006 or something. I recall his team said he wasn't ready, and then that brain ****... SMH. Respect to both though.

In the Froch Kessler fight I saw one guy(Kessler)throwing alot of punches that was not hitting much,while the other guy(Froch)was landing the more effective damaging blows..That's just me I always compare that fight to Devon and Kottie(even tho not the robbery that fight was)Kottie imo landed the clean effective shots while Devon was busy..It's all about what ya like I guess..Comment
