Dirrell probably won the fight, but it's hard to argue that he deserved it. I mean, no one was expecting him to stand toe-to-toe with Froch, but he basically refused to engage for most of the fight. If a fighter is going to fight off the backfoot, he should be busy behind a jab, not running away and throwing the odd pot-shot. Add into the mix the continuous holding and *****ing, and you have a fighter who just didn't give the judges any incentive to score the fight his way. Dirrell allowed it to be a close fight by fighting this way and he was naive if he thought he could win a decision against a champion in his backyard using negative tactics.
The more I learn about Dirrell, the less respect I have for him. The apparent brain injury he suffered has no credibility at all. Forget the shaky testimony Dirrell and his camp gave and just consider how ridiculous it is for the Dirrell camp to expect us to believe that a professional doctor would give his approval for a brain-injury victim to continue fighting. I mean, who the **** did they hire? Dr Nick Riviera?
