    Talk about that fight being a crossroads match.

    Froch's reputation and career has skyrocketed and Dirrell's is at an all-time low.

    Regardless of what one believes about the result, it's disappointing that Andre wasn't able to come back stronger from the setback. I thought he had a bit of special boxing ability, but without the will, the skill's useless. I was wrong to buy the flash and upside of Dirrell over the blue collar, old school ability of Ward going into it.

    probably what each deserved. floyd talks about hard work and dedication, nobody at the top right now has worked harder and shown more dedication than froch.

    Dirrell did come back stronger Abraham. Looked far more aggressive and far less negative than he did against Froch.

    I thought Dirrel wasnt ready after Froch, he couldnt fight a focused 12 rounds, he showed the ability in short moments and ultimately fulfilled the expectations vs Abraham and if that punch didnt hit him while he was down he would probably be a top fighter today

    Froch for me at first appeared to be a stiff uncoordinated kind of fighter who would be exposed. What I didnt realize is there is more than what meets the eye. He may appear stiff and slow but he can jab and box well, he isnt that easy to hit despite the low hands and though his handspeed isnt good his timing is. He makes up for the slow hands by throwing at just the right time

    I guess Froch willed himself to stay with the best and Dirrel suffered catastrophe vs Abraham

    C'mon mate.You and I both know you're a bit pissed because Joe and Carl have had a bit of a fallout.

    You would never come on and slate a British fighter in favour of an American who fought horribly unless it was an enemy of Joe's.

    You're better than this.Get it together mate.

    I thought Dirrell won by 1 point but when you fight so negatively in a champions backyard you aren't getting the decision.

    As for 'put Froch on ***** street', he momentarily buzzed him, your making out as if he was stumbling around the ring for half a minute.

    As for their careers' Froch has made the most of his talent & Dirrell hasn't. That's more or less all there is to it

    Jada jada jada... I remember watching that fight and my immediate thought after it was being embarrassed for boxing.. Cant say a fight has made me cringe as much since.. unless you count Tyson Furys singing.
