Froch won by split decision. It was a close fight. If they gave it to Dirrell it would have been fair too.Edited by: whiteathlete33
whiteathlete33 said:I was worried about this fight from the beginning. Froch put up a very poor performance. He could have lost this fight easily on the cards and barely escaped beating Jermain Taylor. If I were to rank the fighters in this fight I would have Kessler first, Abraham, Dirrell, Ward, Taylor and finally Froch. He is the weakest link.

whiteathlete33 said:Probably the only good thing Froch did all night is that he was the aggressor. That is most likely why the judges gave him the fight. Dirrell was mocking Froch the whole fight and sticking out his tongue. These affletes act worse than 5 year olds.

I agree. There is a huge difference between the talent of Calzaghe and Froch, and Kessler is MUCH better than Froch too.
I don't know why Froch held back from throwing his right hand several times when he had Dirrell cornered tonight, he seemed rather awkward and uncoordinated.
I scored it 114-114, 6 rounds to Dirrell, 5 to Froch, plus the point deduction and an even round. But the rounds were difficult to score and several could have gone to either boxer. In the early rounds, Froch punched a lot of air, and Dirrell just ran.
Dirrell has good reflexes and skills, but he just ran about 90% of the fight and held for much of the other 10%.
Overall, Froch deserved to win more than Dirrell, because as he said after the fight, you don't deserve to take a world title by just running and holding.
