Bollocks decision, and dissapointing in John Rawling saying well I have it Dirrell, but if Froch wins well thats boxing....

:o :o :o One of the worst robberies I have seen for a while.

Froch won only three rounds.

UK is just as bad as Italy. Disgraceful.

Embarrassing.

Sorry, but to give him the fight by 3 fvcking points is a total joke.

That old adage about 'you have to beat a champion properly to get the belt' is a load of old bollocks. It's a fight, if you win it by the smallest margin you become the new champ. Simple.

dirrell looked class when he actually went on the attack so as the saying goes youve got to really beat someone to take their title youre not going to nick it i had dirrell by 3!

Dirrell did not deserve the fight or did Froch, I have no arguments with the decision. He needs to cut the ring off better, simple as. Dirrell came accross excellent tonight, sound guy.

I would agree with the criticisms of Dirrell but I thought the last 3 rounds he did enough. He was not negative in the championship rounds.

Mid rounds it was Ottke like, but for me he pulled away in the end.

Not cause your a new poster, didn't look at post count, just comment... That sort of decision is really not uncommon in boxing.

i predict now that if they fight again dirrell will spank carl and knock him out. when dirrell opened up he had carl in trouble.

Hate to agree as I scored it to Dirrell, but he's just too negative to watch. Still think he was ripped off. Still think he'll stink the house out in his next two as well. If he showed the offence that he delivered in the 11th he could have made sure of it- but he didn't and I wont shed a tear for him...

He ran, hugged and refused to engage in the boxing contest. I'm sorry, but boxers like him are very bad for boxing. They're boring and put people off.
