2.5Mil people watched the Klitschko-Arreola fight, Marquez-Diaz drew 1.6 mil, Campbell-Funeka drew 1.2 mil, and Kirkland-Julio drew 1.4 mil. This is just a little example of how many viewers just in America saw. If this is a decline, then I'm loving the state Boxing is in right now.
I think Dirrel might want to take a look at his compatriot Andre Ward to see how he should be conducting himself
I must admit that from watching the clip that Dirrell I feel is inbetween at the moment, he feels confident but he also does not really know how he will take Froch's best punches until that bell sounds so for his sake I hope he has chosen the right sparring partners and brought some very big punchers in to spar with him. And Im pretty sure that Froch is going to be looking at this fight as a 12 round affair to wear Dirrell down but something tells me that Dirrell has spotted a flaw that we may see him exploit on Saturday night which may dent Froch's confidence slightly during the fight. What concerns me is if Dirrell or Froch for that matter gets cut early because that normally swings the momentum of the fight towards the other guy and as Dirrell said in a previous interview, his worst knightmare would be to get cut in a fight or in the tournament for that matter so there are so many different intagibles to this fight which makes it such a great match up and Froch's supreme confidence does make you think that he is going to do it but as we have seen through so many years in boxing, the man who is confident is not as confident as soon as he gets stunned and is in dire straights trying to survive. Im not even fighting and I feel like Im the one going to fight on saturday, thats how much of an effect this fight has had on me up to this point. Froch is looking for the knockout as we know but I think that is going a wrong move for Froch, he cant afford to load up against Dirrell. Dirrell to win in an epic battle.
or kessler, who went over to ward and shook his hand a couple of weeks agoand wished him good luck in his training camp.
Dirrell looks nervous. Wouldn't be surprised if he gassed early on Saturday after blowing his wad in the first few rounds.
How exactly is he a punk? Froch has been a ****-talker for most of his career, even before he won anything. Still, people didn't call him a punk. He was called confident and sure of himself. I don't see the difference here. Dirrell is a talented young fighter who has the chance of a lifetime. The reason he doesn't respect Froch is simple: he doesn't think he's a very good fighter. On the other hand, Dirrell has already expressed his admiration of other fighters in the tournament like Kessler and Taylor. But for Froch fans this is still a tough nut to swallow...that someone doesn't respect their man.
Dirrell didn't look too comfortable, I don't blame him, Froch is way too calm and confident. Go froch!
Dirrell looked hyped up like a 5 year old on E numbers. The last fighter i saw look like that before a fight who came to England from America was Jeff Lacy. Froch is going to banjo this clown
