    Keep in mind this is a 24 year old whos never been 12 rounds before. And whos best win up to that time was Anthony Hanshaw.

    Fighting in Nottingham where Bute froze

    Oh and notice Froch's tactics after being stunned lol. Classy

    Dirrel is a wasted talent, he's the definiton of a wasterman. I do believe he's one of the most talented fighter today. :good

    Froch came to fight. Dirrell didn't. Simple as that.

    Froch came to fight. Than when he was out of his depth decided to hack and foul and body slam to a shitty decision. Thank you jesus for Andre Ward.

    Goal of boxing = hit and don't get hit. Wonder who did all the (legal) hitting and who got hit in this one? :think

    I do. I hated him after the Dirrell fight. Picked against him the entire tournament and he kept surprising me. Im one of the few who thought he beat Kessler.

    But Froch when things arent goin his way gets dirty. Sucker punched Ward after the bell. Ward however is far more mature than Dirrell and didnt let it get to him.

    The record books say he lost to Froch,and he didn't beat Abraham,Abraham was DQ'd.
    He spent the majority of the Froch fight holding and falling to the floor.
    He had Abrahams number,and was winning the fight easily,but he started to tire,Abraham started to find the target,and Dirrell looked for a way out.
    Dirrell has a wealth of talent and skill ,but he has no heart.

    I think the guy has a lot of talent. I was hoping he would do well in the Super Six and loved the way he fought the first 6 rounds against Abraham. He moved without running, sat on combinations, and dominated. It was textbook.

    However, after taking the cheap shot from AA, he hasn't been active enough to consider. I don't hate on the guy, but it is impossible to give somebody who is that inactive any love either.

    He blew it against Froch. I read he wouldnt fight Bute unless he as challenger got to have the fight in America.
    He hasnt beaten one top SMW. Did alot of talking though.

    I wouldnt be shocked if Dirrell was suddenly given a fantastic opportunity for doing nothing while other lesser known fighters who have done more get ignored
