In alphabetical order by last name Adamek Berto Froch Khan Leimeux Rigondeux Ward I picked Leimeux Thoughts ?
What is that before everyone slagged him off or he has become a hype job in the last year, through hard work.
The accolades he receives on ESB far outweigh his career. He lost 2 out of his last 3. The decision vs Dirrell was a hometown gift. He is a good fighter but not as good as made out to be on ESB
He is pretty gritty fighter and i think thats why alot of people like him.... The Dirrell fight was real tight, i watched it quite a few times. How many rounds ahead did you have Dirrel?
I wanted to kick a hole in the T.V Dirrel looked like he didnt want any part in fighting Froch at all, he was so negative and he will look back at that fight and regret it. Dirrell is a really skilled boxer, great with sharp counter shots but should of mixed more aggresion and power shots in, i dont think he needed to trade with Froch but could of got more involved he is certainly good enough. Instead we got a **** fight that was hard to score and at the end of the day i was happy with the decision when the man who pressed the action got the result.
During the Froch/Dirrell fight I told my brother inlaw; "If they could teach this kid to stay in the pocket and bob, weave, slip, and counter, he would be damn near unbeatable." That's just not how Dirrell fights. A good share of the time he looks like he is fighting scared.
