Why does Andre Dirrell act like a wimp when he's in with hard hitters?

    The name of the game is to hit and not get hit. I don't know why some guys are so hard on Dirrell. As much as I like Froch, he clearly lost against Dirrell and can thank his hometown judges. As for Abraham...I'll admit that the Shaw Hi thing was fishy but in the end and I can't understand why he would have faked and injury when he was ahead on the scorecards.

    He knows deep down, that even with all the flash, he doesnt not have the mentality for boxing. I cant stand i fighter like khan, but that guy has balls, he wants it so bad, that isnt the impression dirrell gives.

    We will probably here from a lot of dirrell fans, that he beat frcoh and what not, but he didnt. He had his moments, but in general he did everything to avoid a fight. When one of frochs punches glanced his glass mind, he fell down to the floor. Apparently dirrell was fighting on an ice surface, while froch´s surface was a normal one for a boxing contest.

    he deliberately avoids punches by going into fetal position, as he feels safe there. He then stands up, throws a couple of punches, sees the counters and once again tries to mimic a baby.

    sometime in the future, when a sport for babies is invented, like the most pathetic fetal position competetion, be sure to watch out for anyone with the last name dirrell.

    He stood his ground vs Abraham and even knocked him down. Then he beat Froch 7-5 with a point deduction (you do the math, I'm on pain killers right now)

    You have Froch 5 rounds? You must have got some ass that night and felt generous. I gave him 4 lol.

    Against Abraham Dirrell boxed at range, stayed in the contact zone and put in a beautiful performance against the favorite, before going into victory formation over the last 2 rounds or wouldve been last 2 rounds before Abraham disgraced himself.

    Against Froch he was boxing beautifully and Froch got pissed and strted body slamming and throwing elbows and rabbit punches. Dirrell being a young fighter strted complaining to the ref instead of going a out his business and getting the W. in the 10th he woke up, stunned Froch, and won the last 3 rounds handily.


    There is only a certain contigent who thinks otherwise. The Europeans thought they had a special division all to themselves and they found out their fighter were average and some young prospects came in and made them look their talent level.


    I'd be pissed too if Khan came over to America and exposed Mayweather, Cotto and Pacquiao back to back lol. That's the equivalent of what Ward and Dirrell did.

    I gave Froch and Dirrell six, I thought each fighter definitively won 4 rounds each, leaving four rounds to swing, through in Dirrells point deduction he then had to be given three of the four close rounds which was never going to happen, just like Froch wouldn't have won them in the US.

    It was a close fight, I really don't understand why this fight is still spoken about.

    :lol: good point about Khan exposing America's finest

    and ya I gave Froch 5 rounds. I watched a few months ago, but it should have been wider because of the point deduction that went to the wrong fighter. Kinda like the Mares/Moreno fight

    Yeah you gave Froch just enough to get the W. :rofl let me guess you gave him the 12 or maybe the 11th like the Italian judge. :rofl

    There's a contingent of you know who's on here that are still pissed at Dirrell. They hate Ward to but Ward beat that ass so thoroughly you have to pick on the lil brother

    Froch looked **** in that fight, I'm not gonna deny that, but Dirrell did **** all but hold, 'slip' and fall to the floor. He was spineless, and that's what lost him the fight. He came alive late on, but it was too little, too late. Fact is; neiter guy looked good that night.

    Against Abraham he fought much more positively and it showed in the scorecards, but when Dirrell started to come apart at the seams as he tired, Abraham started to look dangerous, and Dirrell's glass brain shattered, causing him to fold like a paper napkin.

    If it makes you feel better when Dirrell schooled Carly that was his first 12 roud fight. Oh wait how could that make you feel better?

    So to you not getting hit the entire 11 th round before slipping and being kod from a cheap shot is Folding like a napkin?

    That's what you mean just to make it clear?
