    "Styles make fights". Are you unfamiliar with this concept? You only have to watch fights for about one week before you hear this.

    Dirrel was just!!!!! AND ONLY JUST! fat enough to avoid the right from AA in 11 rounds. But it came closer and closer.. Dirrel was tired..

    Froch been down against taylot, and hurt against dirrel.

    Froch has ½ the speed direll has..

    Froch has ½ the boxing inteligens direll has..

    Froch will get caught and will be koed.

    Dirrell's style suits him much better against Abraham that it does against Froch. Froch also had the luxury of fighting at home against Dirrell. If their performances against Dirrell is what you are basing this on, don't lean too hard on your assumption.

    There goes again the Froch has an iron chin myth...

    Froch will lose against Abraham and if one day he face Pascal or Dirrell, he will lose severely. He was just lucky to face them when they were green. The Dirrell we saw yesterday would have smashed Froch.

    Didn't Froch already beat Dirrell? AA was too inactvie but once he started moving (round 8) he looked like he could catch Dirrell. I think he had a decent chance of catching Dirrell in rounds 11 or 12, but he ****ed it up and obviously did not have the self confidence we all thought he did.

    Froch never stop beliving in himself , and was active from round one onwards.

    Also it was a different Dirrell against AA - an excellent Dirrell, that is the difference between being slick and being a runner.

    No he wont. AA is a very precise power puncher. Expect Froch to suffer his first KO.

    Froch does have a great chin. But he cant take continous punishment espcially against a guy like AA. Stylewise Froch is VERY easy to hit and a perfect opponent for AA.

    Predictable ESB bull****. Abraham was ALWAYS over-rated, now people are going to start shitting on him. He's not great, but he's good enough to beat Froch. The guy blocks punches with his chin.

    I think Kessler will knock out Froch before AA gets to him.

    Plausible. But dont be surprised if Froch KO's Kessler. Kesslers a guy who likes to stay in the pocket. But he's weak mentally and may crumble against a guy like Froch who wont wilt easily.

    Watch his fight vs Calzaghe and Ward. Both times Kessler mentally crumbled with very little to offer and complained about the outcome of the fight. Thats not a guy with a "fighters" mentality. When things dont go Kesslers way he doesnt know how to adjust.
