It's pretty clear that only certain rules apply to certain fights here.

I gree Kev. Dirrell-Froch was nowhere near close.

Yeah, and people still ***** about Mayweather v Castillo. There is nothing wrong with bringing up past fights to show how ass backwards majority of these posters work. If Lucas won his fight on the road there isn't anything that person could say as to why Froch won his fight. What, because Dirrell moved backwards? Who cares when you land more punches and do more damage.

Are you kidding me? That fight is 10 years old and gets more threads than any recent controversial decisions.

No Floyd hater complains about dozens of Castillo-Mayweather threads going around, they happily say who they think won

Honestly, as an American I am more proud of the performance Alexander gave against Matthysse(even though I thought he lost) than I am in the performance Dirrell gave in the Froch fight.

Why, because Devon went toe to toe with him? Devon is an idiot and didn't fight his gameplan. He let his opponent dictate his fighting style and that is why he won't accomplish anything. Dirrell despite fighting a guy that is a bully in the ring, didn't let that happen. Andre fought a smart fight and that is why he should of been awarded the victory. Had Andre did was Devon did, he would of been kayoed.

Tha's the truth right there.


Froch-Dirrell: It was just a close, not a robbery.

Devon-Mataysay: Highway robbery.

The difference is, you'd have to give every close-ish round to Devon just to have him losing by a KD.

It's really hard to make a case for Matthyse not winning at least 5 rounds.


Froch, you could make a case for in a LOT of the rounds against Dirrell. For Alexander against Matthyse, only really half of them, and even if you gave him all 5 of the rounds you could seriously consider him in, he still loses by dint of the KD.


That's aside from the fact that Matthyse fought a very consistent fight and bossed rounds, whereas Dirrell didn't for the large part, he was spotty and lacked in generalship qualities even in rounds he edged with better shots.



Bad, bad comparison.

I love America, I love American fighters, I love some European fighters, I love some Asian fighters, I love white fighters, I love black fighters.

This forum cares too much about race, nationality and stuff like that, you guys have issues.

For the record, I had Dirrell winning the Froch-fight and I had Matthysse winning last night.

[PRINCE O' PROSE]

Mayweather beat or drew with Castillo, IMO.



Let's not change the subject. We're talking about actual stinky decisions, not ones that are disussed as arguable or whined over by a few hateful whinebags.

Really Matthysse didn't do that much outside of rounds 4,7,8, those were big moments the most telling of the fight but they only count for so much~

Fights scored round by round tough luck that closer less damaging rounds count the same as beat down rounds~

This thread contains an atg clegg post.

Check is clowning himself today.

I thought dirrel won 7-5 vs froch, but i had mathysse winning by 3 points. 6-4 in rds plus the kd. Mathysse indisputably won rds 4, 7, 8, 10. That makes it a draw. Thats why its a robbery.

Dirrel v froch was a joke of a fight and very hard to score because there was nothing landing. Froch was being aggressive but i dont recall him landing anything of note in the whole fight. The fights are mutually exclusive in every way.

That's okay, for whoever had Mataysay over Alexander, I have nothing against that. It's calling it a robbery or a "clear" victory. But then turning around and calling a much wider fight[in Dirrell's favor] a close fight.


Honestly, whoever won last night fight, it was only by 1 or 2 points=not a clear win in any way shape or form.

I had Dirrell winning 8 god damn rounds, and still don't call it a highway robbery.

The difference is, you'd have to give every close-ish round to Devon just to have him losing by a KD.

Although, I could stretch that to,

The difference is, you'd have to give every close or close-ish round to Devon just to have him winning by a solitary point.

But you wouldn't reasonably give him all those close or close-ish rounds, would you?


And if you give Matthyse only one of those, he wins the fight. Simple.
