Comments Thread For: Froch's Promoter on Status of Andre Ward Rematch

[aboutfkntime]

I love watching defensive fighters give a master class in stick and move. That's not what I saw in Dirrell. Froch acted with greater intent & tenacity. Don't agree? That's ok, like I've already told you, it's open to interpretation. The majority agree with me though, inc. the judges.

So do I, I much prefer technicians, that was my style.

But it has to be effective.

Dirrells legs/stamina held up long enough to keep him away from Froch for the duration of the fight. He was effective at times, but so was Froch.

I agree. It was close and there's a slim points argument either way, but ultimately Dirrell let himself down too much in the middle rounds by not engaging. Maybe his stamina held up because he took so much time off from fighting? Too much move, not enough stick. I think one solid round with André pressing the action, or at least more effectively countering, would have won him the fight. It's funny to see some of the casual fans being so fanatical about a relatively poor performance by both of them.

Re watching that fight last night was comical . Dirrell would pummel Froch with laser like precision , hard shots too , all throughout the fight . As this was going on the crowd just watch in silence and the commentators would just marginalize Dirrells destruction of Froch (same thing ur doing now ) saying how close the fight was . Then as soon as Froch finally did some minuscule s..t , like connect with a soft jab, the crowd would then all rise to their feet and unleash thunderous roars . Now for a crowd to be that over compensatory , u know as well as they did that Froch was getting his a.. Handed to him . But it's ok , keep playing the cover up game to hedge your guy !

All the complaining by all the Dirrell fans in the world will not change a thing. Froch won the fight. Accept it. Get over it. Crying will not change the record books or the judges scores that night.

IT WAS FIVE AND A HALF YEARS AGO!!!

Time to move on.
