    A case can definitely be made for Dirrell winning that fight but dominated? He ran and held for about 85% of it. Running away and holding are not traits of a dominant male.
    A case can be made that he highlighted & exploited Froch's shortcomings, but he failed to win because he utterly failed to assert authority. He could have won with a very different strategy, but with a different strategy comes greater risk and he may well have got KO'd against a less gifted but ultimately stronger athlete.

      I could see it. DeGale's been looking good in recent fights and Andre hasn't had a real fight since Abraham. He threw everything at Derek Edwards and still couldn't stop him, and then got rocked bad in the final round. I'll be surprised though if any Dirrell agrees to go back to England though.
      Don't think I've seen anything as crazy as that round 12 in a long time.
