"I believe Carl Froch is tailor made for me. I'll hit him with every single thing I've got. I hope he can withstand it - I wouldn't seeing what he could take - but I know it won't be 12 rounds worth. I'm really focused on that WBC world title right now. I'll take that title, and each fight after that I'll think about - right now I'm focused on getting Froch out of there." Andre Dirrell, July 2009
He'll find out soon what the Cobra is all about. Dirrell won't be able to stand up to Froch's attack Froch by late round TKO.
LOL What makes this kid think he can stop Froch? Theres nothing in his fledgling record that suggests he could. Also this dude has never even been 12 rounds (10 i think once with a nobody) with anyone let a lone a hard mother fooker like frochy. As far as im concernd this youths in deep deep water here.
He's right! But imo he should just box circles around him and win a UD, don't know about trading with him. Also Froch has become very overrated around here after his win over Taylor.
Dirrell has the tools but I dont think he has the stamina or the experience. If he gets in great shape he could make beat Froch.
I like Dirrell's attitude. I expect it to be a very interesting and close fight, Dirrell has skill and pop in his punches and I don't think Froch is a clear favourite or anything like that. Froch needed a last round-last minute KO to beat Taylor and his performance on that night didn't really impress me. But we'll see what happens.
every fighter in the supermiddle division states froch is tailor made for there style.... looking forward to this fight..:good
I wouldnt say hes overated everyone knows his shortcomings (crap defence, easy to hit and relatively slow hand speed and very average technical skills). But he is a warrior with great stamina decent power and a solid chin, which makes for entertaining fights, how can you not like that?
Exactly. The only way Froch can win is if he trades with him (which honestly I don't think Dirrell will do, did you see him fight Curtis Stevens who he knew he shouldn't trade with). I think Froch is the most overrated fighter in boxing, and I don't see how people can act like he's so great.
Froch is far from great. But he's exciting, he has power and will fight till the last minute. Honestly though I will be surprised if he does very well in the tournament, many good fighters involved.
