If Dirrell loses to Froch, I will literally eat my hat. On Youtube. Dirrell is just way, WAY, too quick and a lot of people forget hown much precision counts for in the fight game. Just saying...
Dirrell better win for the simple fact that if he were to lose..... Froch's already out of control rabbid fans are going to multiply. Seriously, Froch nuthuggers are one inch away from taking the crown from the calzaghe nuthuggers in terms of the most annoying fan boys in boxing.
Is Dirrell ''just way, WAY, too quick'' against a guy who keeps coming and landing hard shots for 12 rounds...............Dirrell WILL slow down as the fight goes on. He's never been 12 rounds. He has only been 10 rounds ONCE. Dirrell is in deep water.
No doubt, and I have a lot of respect for Carl Froch, but I really don't think he's going to have an answer to Dirrell... Too fast.
What i would say unclepaulie, is that a lot of people underestimate Frochs precision punching. He wares people down with hard accurate punches throughout the fight, and he fights at a consistent relentless pace throughout the fight. This has made up so far for his lack of speed (although he is not exactly 'slow')
Odds are not really good. Currently it's close to an even money fight, which let's you know how much respect the oddsmakers have for Froch, the veteran champion.
Check bet365 it's 133% return for Dirrel right now. Put £500 on get £1,200 back inc stake. Those are fantastic odds but totally skewed because the Dirrell Hype Train is on runaway without a driver right now. It's gonna crash Froch'll win.
