he has his opinion, I have mine.
If you say "it was a close fight, I thought Dirrell nicked it by a point or two"
then fine, that's a valid opinion.
"everyone who saw the fight knows Dirrell outboxed the **** out of froch"
and simmilar lines are ridiculous and have no merit.
We had a massive poll on this a while back (which i can't find as the search feature is a ****ing absoloute joke) and more than 50% had Froch
And stop cheerleading.
This has nothing to do with "me and my boys"
this is me and you having a discussion.
at the end of the day I don't think we are ever going to agree on this.
but im meeting you half way, if you think Dirrell won a close one, then fine, valid opinion
calling it a robbery is bs, it was a debatable decision, debatable being the operative word.Last edited by Earl-Hickey; 08-26-2012, 08:24 AM.Comment

I thought his speed was terrific though, and scored it 7-5 to Andre both times. That said, I guess I can understand why the judges didn't take to it. He did seem to outland Froch, something Haye can't claim.
One thing that did surprise me is how easily Froch was able to inflict damage on him... Dirrell's nose and mouth were bleeding heavily after about 3-4 rounds and he'd hardly been hit. I often wonder what would have happened if Dirrell had chosen to open up, but I guess that'd make it a pick 'em, even with the handspeed advantage.Comment

i actually said that a majority had Andre winning. FYI. Myself included. So I am not sure who you are quoting.he has his opinion, I have mine.

Further, calling these men cowards....do you really feel that you should be correcting the language of posters when you're calling pro fighters "cowards" and "cowardly". You're better than that.Comment

To then duck, dodge, run, fall over, complain, hold, basically do ANYTHING to avoid fighting, then i think it's quite reasonable to question his courage, in the context of his Chosen profession.
Remember, nobody forced him to sign up for this.Comment

still. cowardly is not the right term. and the name of the game is still 'hit and not get hit'.When a man is being paid in the hundereds of thousands of dollars, to FIGHT. He puts himself on a pedastal.

I had Dirrell by 2 rounds, but honestly the fight was the biggest let-down of the super 6 precisely because Dirrell refused to engage for 8-9 rounds. The judges would have been watching one guy chase the other around the ring for most of the fight so it's hard to blame them.
yeah maybe Dirrell knows his own frailty better than us, he was doing the same flopping to the floor when he fought Abraham in the later rounds, I think Arthur scored a legit knockdown too.One thing that did surprise me is how easily Froch was able to inflict damage on him... Dirrell's nose and mouth were bleeding heavily after about 3-4 rounds and he'd hardly been hit.

Dirrell has talent but there is a lot which is questionable about him.Comment
