Come back to Inside Fights for a complete review of both fights.
Froch may have taken a very generous hometown decision, but Andre Dirrell arrived as a real live main event fighter who is going to be hell for most guys to handle. I really believe Dirrell won that fight, all other things considered. But that don’t matter. I look forward to an eventual rematch.
