    That gave me some hope he could come back stronger until the last round or two. Andre boxed beautifully for 90% of that fight, but as the championship rounds hit, I wasn't sold he would survive even before the late shot. Abraham was finally catching him, and he wasn't responding well.

    If Dirrell-Froch was a crossroads fight, Abraham-Dirrell was a fight where both fighters were destined to fade into Bolivian. Both of those guys' careers at the world level were done after that fiasco.

    Andre Dirrell is the one guy in the Super 6 that had the ability to defeat Andre Ward. Arthur Abraham's cheapshot might have altered the course of history.

    Dirrell did beat him, but the fact Dirrell is mental midget is exactly the opposite of Froch who knows what he wants and accomplishes it!

    you said it perfectly, Pity. i don't like it when bias gets in the way of people's view. nobody wins that war... we all lose. because it has no meaning and is clearly a waste of time. :good

    Dirrell hit Froch with a decent shot and stunned him for a moment, but Froch came back immediately with his own shots. Froch won. Dirrell was a disgrace.

    :lol: is that meant to be an insult? :patsch they're good to watch in the ring and have a big crowd to watch them. which can't be said for the American fighters and their boring, negative **** that they continuously put on show.

    Agreed. Tis a shame too. Dirrell really did have excellent skills. AA was just too limited, too small to win with that style at the very top level at 168.

    And IIRC Dirrell was having a good round when the whole slip/ko happened with AA. Had shown me a little something in terms of his being able to weather the storm .
