Froch vs Dirrell: Did Froch get a hometown decision????

[BattlingNelson]

I scored for Froch back then. Close fight, but Dirrell was generally being far to negative and scared.

no one is giving resons why dirrell won considering all the evidence to the contary, punch stats press row, American pundits, boxrec punch stats etc....

The best shots were landed by froch, round 3 and 8, froch nailed him twice and dirrell held bigggggggggggg time.

This forum also had groves absolutely schooling froch on points beofre the ko, where most of the experts had it to froch. Even the press row against had it to froch..

People are mainly yanks on here or got caught with the forum hype. But noones yet to talk me through how dirrell actually got close to winning. Ive had one guy try, and he completely ignore frochs most sucessful rounds that he blatantly got.

Dirrell after round 4 was bloodied in the mouth and nose froch was unmakred after 12...

You do realise the fights on youtube...someone scientifically talk me through, including point deductions how on earth dirrell won that fight??

He lost by 4 rounds on my card, and i could happily talk you through that...

As i say the best shot, or one of the few shots dirrell landed was round 10 where he was deducted a point for holding and illegally ducking...

I would honestly have been happy if Dirrell was DQ'd in that fight. The only other performance as gay as that one I have seen in a boxing ring was Akinwande v Lewis, followed by Dirrell's play acting against Abraham.

Dirrell was an absolute disgrace. You can't run around like that in the champions backyard and expect to walk away with the strap.

dirrell landed the cleaner punches. he teed off on froch for a few rounds.


that said, he behaved like a girl, and i can see judges giving froch the close rounds based on that. they were also in froch's backyard.


it's definitely a forgotten fight. people are seriously overrating froch's resume and career.

if you land the cleaner and more effective punches, you are supposed to win the round.


fighting at home really shouldn't matter.

brits should start wearing a scarlett "B" on their chests / sigs.


the bias is getting f#Cking absurd.

Froch won the fight.

I thought froch looked frustrated throughout Dirrell beat him in imo

[F!x]

I only saw that fight live and at the time I actually thought Dirrell won it, I can remember being slightly shocked by the decision. Haven't seen it since then though so I don't know if my view would be different on the second viewing.
