    It seems to be often ignored that Dirrell also BEAT Golovkin in the amateurs.

    It seems to get brushed under the carpet.

    But Dirrell beat Golovkin.

    Truthfully IMO GgG will appear mortal at SMW.

    Groves KOd him in the warm up to getting KO d by Froch.

    There's a reason there are weight divisions.

    I'm not flat out ruling out GGG winning on points, its very possible but it won't be the steamrolling many on here think it'll be, and it will most likely go to the cards, however GGG's chin will be tested big time by the Cobra. And if he takes too many Froch bombs Froch could very well crack his iron chin.

    And thanks for defending me against that ******* Two Shakes.

    Anyone who thinks Froch v GGG is one sided in either direction will be dead wrong in my opinion. It will live up to the hype.

    Why do you think I severely underrate every british fighter? I did pick Degale to beat Direll didn't I? Froch is a great fighter and he's a future hof.

    Will this fight even happen now that Degale beat Dirrell?

    Degale vs Froch is a bigger pay day in that two brits in a world title fight will sell a lot of tickets and likely do good numbers on sky box office.

    Dirrell won by a point in Tunica Ms. Total home cooking decision. While all that link said was that GGG may have been dropped but then Groves got his ribs injured as GGG worked him over.

    I think GGG will just outwork and outland Froch and rack up more rounds doing so.

    If Froch goes into swinging Hayemaker mode like he did vs Kessler missing a lot of his punches he's got no chance. GGG's combinations will be the difference in the rounds won.
    Froch will land some, but not enough to win the rounds.

    That's the way I see the fight going.

    But he will. Martinez was a great fighter and a future hof, and I'd pick GGG to steamroll a prime Martinez. GGG's punch placement, power, and technical skills are just on another level than Froch. He'd eat him alive and spit him back out. If Groves can give him that much trouble imagine what someone who's technically better, hits 100000x times harder, and places his shots 100000x better will do to him.

    Did you see the fight? :patsch


    Even there Olympic fight was competitive, it has many people on YouTube feeling Dirrell was robbed.

    45 year old B-Hop is so far above all of GGG's resume it's not even funny.
