This is the fight Dirrell needs to get him also back in front row for a title shot. Unfortunately I believe Sauerlan and kessler will duck him in order to wait for the winner of Bute/Froch, actually there are some guys waiting for the outcome of this one.
Abraham was schooled by Froch who Kessler beat - the same Froch who Dirrell lost to - in a close fight agreed, but I don't see it as a robbery. Kessler has consistently boxed at the highest level for 10 years - so yes he is more proven - Dirrell might still win thou
The problem for Dirrell is that he isn't a very attractive opponent atm ... He holds no belt - he brings little TV-money and few spectators - He has proven nothing in the ring so far - if Kessler was to fight him and win people would just claim him to be overrated/hyped. He is a risk/reward nightmare - A lot of risk - no real reward. As far as I can tell he'll have to earn a shot at one of the top guys the old fashioned way.
Dirrell was hitting Froch 10-1. 10 rounds to 2 Dirrell easy 9-3 is being generous to Froch. One of the biggest homecooking i have ever seen. Froch's only success was fouls, holding and rabbit punching, hitting on breaks. And then the ref docks a point from Dirrell for leaning on Froch while they allow hatton to hold and hit, rabbit punch and clinch all night without a single warning. Same scenerio.
Well I disagree on that - I had Froch as the winner. Dirrell simply got outworked - he didn't do enough to win - especially when fighting abroad.
Kessler by UD with an early knockdown against Dirrell making him unsure for most of the bout but maybe a late flourish to win some of the last few rounds
I'm lost when you said Froch outworked dirrell, i keep thinking you had a backwards.... Froch was outworking the air is what i assume.
Dirrell UD Could end in a KO for Dirrell as Kessler can at times be too active and predictable. Dirrell's future is abit uncertain at the moment as he has no promoter. At least to my knowledge. Anyone know any different? And really, how can any honest human being give Froch more than 2 rounds in his fight against Dirrell?
Never since my join here had I disagree more with a poll like I do with this one. The difference in Dirrell's favor shocks me.
It is actually pretty obvious.... I think Dirrell can KO Kessler even though i know Kessler is a better fighter than Froch. Kessler doesn't have Froch's chin. Dirrell is much more talented, faster, possibly harder hitting, much faster, better movement. He got Kessler out gunned. Nice avatar though!
