I still don't get the Dirrell decision. Dirrell out boxed him, out landed him, hurt Froch, and was never hurt yet somehow lost. Hopefully Dirrell learned he has some power and will start sitting down on his punches some more. He rocked Froch repeatedly late in the fight.

It will be interesting to see just how much this type of loss takes out of him going forward. Getting stopped is always tough to rebound from - especially mentally. Some fighters recover from it much better than others. This is the 2nd stoppage loss in a row for Taylor against two "Top-5" Supper Middles. Sad to say, historically, this is a road or path well documented... and for most, it doesn't get any better. It was a tough loss for Jermain Taylor.

You guys analyze the most intricate details and make great arguments! Froch fought well on the inside and landed good punches. But let's face it, Kessler's a cut above this whole bunch at Super Middleweight. And no one's as craft as Calzaghe was to outbox him either. Don't forget, Calzaghe's boxing skill gave Hopkins problems. Kessler will take Abraham to school and be too much for Ward. I love reading the picks on this boxing magazine.

Dirrell wins 8 rounds and loses the decision. I hope the American fighters get the same judging here in the US I will have to remember next time to pick the fighter from England unless I think the other fighter can KO.

Hell they took away 5 points from Miranda just to get AA the split decision win. While I like Taylor in the fight, winning a decision in Germany is nearly impossible.
