The point deduction was entirely deserved for the repeated spoiling tactics of constantly holding by Dirrell and also what irked was him slipping about 40 times every time Froch caught him. Yeah he landed more punches but boxing is an attacking sport and people pay good money to watch a fight not constant dancing. Hopefully the decision will be a positive one for Dirrell as when he was forced into a fight he boxed very well at the end. I had no idea what the score was, how on earth do you score the non-event of the first 6 rounds they were truly awful. Commanding centre of the ring and attacking are 2 values rated highly though and that's what won Froch the fight. Dirrell maybe thinks he's Roy Jones or Floyd Mayweather but they have the attack option in their repertoire and to win the title away from home you need to put more in more of an attacking effort.

 

I don't think it was a particularly good performance by Froch though and he will need to step up his game big time against Kessler. The tournament will be interesting and we may see Dirrell come through the initial defeat to make the semis. He needs to attack a hell of a lot more and show how he earned those 13 knock outs.
