    But, every single fight now that is close that goes the other way is a robbery.
    It was a definite gift in my eyes. No matter how pathetic he was, Dirrell was landing all the best punches. I had it 8-4 for Dirrell.

      I had it a clear victory for Dirrell aswell.

      But I knew if Dirrell didn't knock him out he would have to do something special to get the win in Nottingham.

        As many others i felt quite strongly about Dirrell winning over Froch back when it happened. Robbery? No probably not, but it also felt like a clear victory.

        Now I'm just happy about it. If anyone deserves to be "robbed" it's that lame ****.

          I thought Ward would make it to the final. Slightly surprised and impressed with Froch who seems to have become a better fighter as the tournament progressed. I thought Dirrell showed the most skills but perhaps his head and heart aren't up to championship boxing. Abraham failed miserably and Kessler never really got to showcase his best.

            Got'em all right except the Ward/Kess and Dirrell/Froch fights (Froch really won though so really I got 1 wrong )

              I guess everyone sees it different. I thought Dirrell looked great but only in short bursts when he came in to engage. He should of taken a few more risks, you can't come to the champs backyard and expect a decision when you hit and run.

                I picked Ward to win the whole thing before it started.

                I picked Dirrell to beat Abraham and Froch (was wrong about the latter although I still feel he could have got the nod) and I picked froch to beat kessler. Other than that no surprises.

                  I'm not certain about that. I think if he fought in a fair way he may have got the decision. Diving to the ground, refusing to engage, holding on and going down at every opportunity generally isn't going to win you a belt in a champion's back yard, no matter where it is. I think one of the commentators said Dirrell didn't come to win the belt, he came to steal it. Pretty farcical 'fight' overall, although I do accept Dirrell probably won more rounds of what it was.

                    My Pre Tourney Picks

                    Round 1:

                    Taylor over Abraham (actually thought JT had something left and would be able to outbox abraham, something that froch and ward proved that you CAN do. mentally, he wasn't in it)

                    Dirrell over Froch (sloppy ass fight from Dirrell, I admit, i thought he was a lot better than what he showed during this one, i liked him a little less after this showing)

                    Ward over Kesslar


                    Round 2:
                    Abraham over Dirrell (i thought his first outing in the tourney showed he wouldn't be able to handle abraham getting at him, but he boxed nicely!)

                    Kesslar over Froch

                    Ward over Green

                    Round 3:
                    Froch over Abraham

                    Ward over Bika

                    Johnson over Green (green shouldn't have been in tourney!)


                    Semis:
                    Froch over Johnson

                    Ward over Abraham

                    Finals
                    Ward over Froch

                    I must admit, i didn't think too highly of Abraham and Froch in the beginning of the tourney. Abraham shouldn't have left middleweight but Froch showed me that he's definitely one of the tops in the division. Finals won't be an easy fight at all! Can't wait for it!

                    The most anticipated match for me was Ward - Dirrell! sucks that this one didn't happen.
