    Dirrell ran and dived for 2/3 of the bout, that's no way to win a title. Froch should give him a rematch and beat him down just so we don't have to hear it any more. Sad thing is Dirrell probably wouldn't even take the rematch, he doesn't want to fight.

      There is no 'close to losing' in boxing. You either win or you lose. People **** on about Froch getting outboxed by Jermaine Taylor, but at the end of the day, Taylor got KTFO. Boxing lasts 12 rounds.
      He definitely has more than one loss on his record lmao!!

      He clearly lost to Kessler, Dirrell, Ward and he was on his way to losing to George Groves before the referee and Eddie Hearn gave Carl Froch a cheeky little helping hand on ending the fight.

      So I guess Carl Froch has had some things his own ways, when things looked like it was going balls up against Dirrell the referee decided to help him and judges played their blind eye routine and GG got the same treatment but only this time for the referee to completely halt the fight when he had no reason to do so lol.

      Its a pity that Carl Froch never faced Jermain Taylor before the two Bhop and Kelly Pavlik fights because I think those fights just completely took it out of him but yes Taylor was fantastic in his prime days and he did fantastic against Froch its a pity the referee never gave Taylor the benefit of the doubt to carry on to the last bell as he would of won that fight regardless of him being knocked down.

        Dirrel was a close decision, could have gone either way but it wasn't a robbery.

            It's mostly casual boxing fans who dislike Froch from what I can see. To be fair, I don't think he came across very well in the build-up to the Groves fight so they judge on what they see.

            Only guy he clearly lost to was Ward. The Kessler and Dirrell fights were close.

            Taylor's lost to a 12 round fighter, just like Groves.

              Froch beat Dirrell, it was super close though. Dirrell spoiled the action so much that he should have been considering DQ.

                    What a load of tripe.

                    Have you taken a knock to the head, or are you just trolling?

                      dirrell outlanded froch
                      dirrell threw more punches

                      just because the guy is a n0b does not mean he did not win the fight

                      it was a CLEAR win for dirrell IMO
