WBC Super Middleweight Championship


Undefeated super middleweights clash in Group Stage One of the Super Six World Boxing Classic when Andre Dirrell travels to Nottinghamshire to try to unseat WBC Champion Carl Froch. The crafty Dirrell puzzles and frustrated Froch over the first half of an insipid fight before the champion starts rough housing, hitting behind the head and throwing the challenger to the canvas. Shockingly, Dirrell is the only one to lose a point - deducted by Referee Hector Afu - for holding in the tenth round. The challenger responds by stunning Froch in the same round but loses a highly controversial split decision on the scorecards.
