Lets face it you lot score it to who you prefer.

Let me refer tot the best post this week.

Froch commanded the Dirrell fight, why does everyone think Dirrell won?, because Dirrell landed the better shots.

Froch lands more and makes Kessler miss but because Kessler was the one chasing it, it was a clear victory for Mikkel?

I don't get it, what scoring criteria is it.

Absolutely spot on. Froch landed more, cleaner punches against kessler, that is fact. Not opinion. The fact that he should have kncoked him out shows this. But the anti froch brigade(seesm like most of the world) scored it to kessler bacuse he pressed the fight??wtf

Yet the Moaners against froch are more than happy to flip there arguement against dirrell(even though froch landed far better punches in that fight and bust open his face), claimed that although froc pressed the fight and worked harder, dirrell landed the cleaner punches and had won.

So you cannot have it boh ways, either froch won kessler, or he schooled dirrell, but you cannot have it both ways.

Lets face it, most people hate froch(slating calzaghe/arrogance etc). So even if yu deep down had ot to froch you will do what you can to score it to his opponent.

His ****y arrogant ass got what he deserved. He lost to Dirrell to. Dirrell landed the cleaner more effective punches. Should have lost to past it Taylor to. Thats 3 straight loses. This guy is no ****in good dude.

Froch lost both fights, he's a good fighter though. He has NO claim to winning Saturday mind. Out worked, backed up and out pointed.

i score on basis on effective pressure, ring generalship, defence and offence. who i prefer doesnt effect the scoring ( for me ).

I had dirrel winning and kessler winning by the end of both fights. Froch has heart and a will to win but lacks the pure boxing skills that the elite fighters of the division have.

[Pugilistic™]

Kessler was pressing the action and was more consistant with his jab and bodywork throughout the fight.

Froch was effective early on with his jab and when he put punches together but he slowed down in the middle rounds, only fighting in spurts and allowing Kessler to control the pace with his jab and score more points. The early rounds were very close so he did not help himself in those middle rounds by taking his foot off the gas. He was able to finish quite strong and argueably evened it up by the end but it wasn't enough imo to win the fight.

Froch did argueably win though. He put up a good performance.

which is why you scored Froch/Dirrell a blow out for Froch. Froch lost. Get over it.

I'm the guy who that quote was aimed at, and I did answer it in the thread it's taken from. As for your points, no I'm not fond of Froch as a boxer (his style is horrible as far as I'm concerned, but I do find him entertaining and often hilarious as a personality even though he can be a bit of a twat at times), but I always score fights with the utmost objectivity I can muster and while I was actually impressed with Froch's performance against Kessler - who I'd predicted would knock Carl out prior to the fight - I felt he definitely didn't do enough for the decision.

As I stated in the thread you referenced though, Dirrell-Froch and Kessler-Froch were two very different fights. It's not the roles of aggressor or fighter on the back-foot that decide winners and losers but how those roles are utilised and from my point of view Froch came up short on both occasions. I did actually think the Kessler fight was closer and more competitive than the Dirrell fight incidentally, and I was impressed by some of the things Froch managed to do, like nullify Kessler's right up top and punch straight through his guard. I also feel that if Froch had offered a more unrelenting offensive he could have KO'd Mikkel who looked uncomfortable every time Froch unloaded.

yup all the people in this thread hate froch. I can find numerous posts from all the posters above that have said horrible things about froch. My point is well ansd truely proven....

Karma is a *****. How can you claim Froch won against Dirrell because he landed more cleaner and effective punches, yet dismiss this claim when it’s Direll-Froch. The funny thing is Froch said he would have won if it was at home. Acknowledging the disgrace officiating at the fight.

Karma is a *****

Froch V AA. A must win fight for both
