I don’t know what possessed me to rewatch this mess. I remember thinking Dirrell was jobbed at the time but didn’t care because of how horrible his style was.
What actually surprised me though is that Dirrell arguably finished stronger, he actually hurt Froch in round 10 and landed some solid shots in both 11 and 12.
This fight was terrible though- Froch was constantly rabbit punching and at one point body slammed Dirrell. Dirrell was excessively running and constantly looking to hold.
Dirrell definitely outboxed Froch though, I think this was a borderline robbery.
Two quotes some this fight up for me:
“He keeps running away the f**got”. Froch’s girlfriend.
“Froch’s technique is worse than normal”. Al Bernstein.
