    Being on the outside looking in, I can't say what anyone else would've done(neither can you). Me or anyone else saying it was acting is speculation. If u don't think much of it, would you offer yourself up for AA to give you a shot like that while on your kees? I don't think so. Ez to say, when its not you.

    I agree with a lot of what you said. They both deserve respect and I give them both their just due. But I will won't ever give froch props for a win against Dirrell, cuz in reality(not the record books), it just didn't happen.
    I wouldn't call it a gift. Did Dirrell deserve to win that fight? I don't think so..not the way he folded like a bad hand in the latter rounds. Maybe Froch didn't deserve it either but as far as Dirrell...well...you're never a winner when you spend that much time on your knees.

      What?!?!

      Froch deserved to win that fight 120-108, I don't know what the judges were wathcing. Froch said so himself, it was the 'easiest fight of his life'.

      If Froch says something it has to be true and he's undefeated so I'll agree with him.

        Froch will retire undefeated. No matter how many times he loses, none of those losses will count.

            Of course...

            That idiot Kirsty in the Sky Sports news centre actually tried to claim he lost a descion to Mikkel Kessler of all people last year! He soon shut that down.

            Right before he shared his insight that American's view Jermain Taylor as a living legend when he won the Undisputed Super Middleweight Title.

            Frightening wisdom, to say the least.

              Come on Dazed. Fights aren't supposed to be judged on how much time u spent on your knees, who ran, who was a scared or who folded. It supposed to be scored round by round and who won each round. By a huge majority, more people saw AD winning more rounds than Froch. PERIOD!

                Fair enough. I thought it was pretty close and I see why people feel Dirrell won. I just wouldn't have been comfortable with him having his hand raised following that performance. But that's just me.

                  Froch just threw more landed more.

                  Froch 153/475 32%; Dirrell 105/315 33%

                  Dirrel's numbers are poor, like Clottey vs Pacquiao.

                  Do you score extra points for running?

                    That part we can agree on. He was doing a lot of holding and complaining. It turned a lot of people off. Regardless, a lot of people CERTAINLY weren't comfortable with Froch getting his hand raised in the end(including me). Not to mention Froch now bragging and talking smack like it was an easy fight. In much of that fight, he was made to look like a club fighter.

                      Froch did not land 153 punches in that fight...NO WAY.
