Dirrell looks jumpy. He is either raring to go or nervous. He might fight scared and Froch will hunt him down.
I love the way Froch said 'The language has been bad, the banter has been terrible.' Cant wait for this!
1 - people who picked Hatton over Mayweather were ignoring Mayweather's obvious advantages in the fight. Also, we were talking about the no1 fighter in the world at that point, and the lineal WW champion fighting a LWW who'd looked ropey at the weight already. With Dirrell, he's not even a top ten SMW, never mind in the P4P. Froch is a top 5 SMW with a proven record against world-class opposition in Taylor and Pascal. Dirrell has Hanshaw and Oganov - neither of whom will be troubling the top ten at SMW anytime soon. It took a fighter of Taylor's class to knock Carl down for the first time - who's knocked Dirrell down again? Certainly wasn't a top ten SMW, was it? It seems that you have taken the role of the moronic, beer laden Hatton fan by picking Dirrell for no reason other than "he's fast and I think he'll do it cause I like him." 2 - that "God-given" talent has only been in evidence against second and third tier fighters. And the guy has next to no boxing IQ, as is clear when he backs up in straight lines and drops his lead hand after admiring his work. It's one thing to like Roy Jones and quite another to fight like him. All that bluster covers up the fact that Dirrell knows he's about to face the ****ing Terminator at SMW - it's going to be a long, painful night for Dirrell. He'll take the first three rounds with flashy but generally weak punching. He'll try and switch up, getting cocky about how slow he thinks Carl is, then he'll try and trade, ala Jones Jr - suddenly he'll realise he's out of position and that Carl, unexpectedly has been waiting for that moment - he gets clipped with a right hand he never sees coming. From that point on, for all his "beautiful boxing", he'll be getting beaten up. I see a stoppage for Froch around round 8. He's got better skills than you think and has a nasty way of drawing you in to his fight.
bang on, my friend! Dirrell may think he's coming to box, but Froch is coming to bash him up. That's the difference between them - Dirrell has a plan, but Froch isn't the sort of guy to let you have anything your way.
Froch didn`t look away in the face off with Dirrel like he did with Pascal but he beat Pascal anyway so if Dirrel was somehow trying to make Froch nervous he`s failed.If anything shouting off as he was he`s hiding his nerves.
dirrell is showing his nerves there,u can tell with the look on his face FEAR. he better get confident by saturday or he will have his ass knocked out before he knows what has happened.
I never said he was, i said his father says "SKILLS PAY THE BILLS" :deal , it truly astounds me how people wanna keep putting Taylor and Pascal's names in bright lights like they're top ten pound for pound fighters or something , anyone with boxing knowledge knows they tried to fight Carl's game and that's why they lost, Andre embraces a totally different style though which Carl hasn't faced before, i fail to see why his fans are refusing to acknowledge those facts.
