Andre Dirrell does not belong in the tournament

Why do you keep spamming this useless video.. it means nothing..

someone could easily make a count video of Froch air punching, rabbit punching and doing judo moves..

they were as bad as eachother.. you can scream as much as you want about Dirrell running and clinching.. at the end of the day he landed more punches and made Froch look clumsy and inaccurate while doing so..:deal

 

Any comparison to Ruiz fails. Ruiz cheats (by holding) and gets gift decisons and has no skills. Dirrell ain't cheating, just using his legs to avoid punches. The ring is big for a reason (as opposed to a phonebooth) and that's because avoiding punches through running or whatever uou call it is part of the game so longs as you are using your offense too (which he was). Yes, he should have ran less but he arguably did enough to win that fight so.....

 

Dirrell doesnt belong because he doesnt have the experience yet. He has no business in that tournament until he gets some more experience. Abraham could potentially end his career. Dirrell was starting to fold under Froch's pressure, times that by ten with Abraham. Could be ugly.

 

dirrell is an excellent young fighter who brings attributes none of the other fighters have in the super 6, he deserves his place, boxing is an art and not just about slugging it out in the centre of the ring

 

Yea boxing is art, too bad Direll would only use it in few rounds and for short periods of time.

 

I presume your referring to Carl Froch?

 

wait until you see Ward Clinching the hell out of Kessler, Dirrell will look like gatti after that performance.

 

I don't have a problem with a guy holding if he comes to win and fight. But this guy (Dirrell) did NOT come to win. He came to not get knocked out. That's just BS. This clown thinks he can win a belt like that?

He should have been disqualified.

 

not ready for the tournament? all of you who think that are fools and do not know boxing. it was a hometown decision, thats it. it happens in boxing all the time. froch was outclassed but was at home. it even happened to whitaker against ramierez. direll is highly skilled, cant fight on the inside, but is a derserving fighter of the opprotunity.

 

You're just a flat out idiot.

 

Yet you don't bring up the fact that dirrell was the only one landing clean punches. Regardless of what you say, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT FROCH LANDED 5 CLEAN PUNCHES ON DIRRELL'S FACE THE WHOLE NIGHT. It was obvious that dirrell landed way more than 5 and had rounds where he landed more than 5 in them. Anyone who can tell the difference landed and missed punches could tell that dirrell landed more than froch atleast 10 to 1. Add up every clean punch from each round and then come back here and say froch won. He was getting his head snapped back on a regular basis.

 

thats been the case with pretty much every argument.. its always ignored..

 

I think we can all agree that dirrell held on too much...and much more than he needed to as it turns out. but not belonging in the tournament??? since i don't have a dog in this race since jt obviously isnt gonna win...i watched this fight objectively and noticed several glaring things that make me think your a blind hater/hugger if you didnt see them,

1. dirrell slipped...get over it. it happens. if the ref was calling a knockdown a slip then fine, get mad. but that didnt happen.

2. dirrell didnt deserve to get a point deducted. and if dirrell deserved to a get a point deducted then so did froch, period

3. froch got beat to the punch all night, badly at some points.

4. froch looked terrible when he had dirrell on the ropes and dirrell was making him miss and look ogrish w/ those chopping punches. even the commentators were awed at one point when dirrell made froch miss about four straight punches.

5. froch was buzzed by someone i thought didnt have the power to do it to him

6. froch was literally walking at dirrell w/ his hands almost straight down by his side at one point, and would rock his left twice below his waist before flicking his jab out there, almost telegraphing it. this will cause him to be hurt badly if he does it against a guy like aa or kess who will come right down the pipe on him.

7. dirrell was running...ok, fine..this is a 20 x 20 ring carl, if all you can do is stalk around like a caveman all night at least learn how to cut the ring off effectively...if this kid is too green has no business in the tourny, froch being the champ should be able to cut the ring off, right?? i mean someone as bad as dirrell can't hide forever agains the champ, right??

8. what makes it so grating on me is the way he conducted his post fight interview. i expect the champ to conduct himself with class...enough on that point.

9. i didnt see froch do one thing in the ring that he can come away w/ as saying, "damn, that's what i wanted to do and i did it to perfection." he pressed the action. he has a big heart and a come forward style so that is to be expected, but to what end? pressing the action is a means to an end. so i ask again, to what end??

all this means is that if dirrell doesnt belong, then he can go meet froch where ever froch is gonna watch the rest of the tournament b/c froch doesnt deserve to be there either if that's the case. sorry for the rant, fellas :hi:
