He beat Taylor on his own patch. he'll beat direll as well. No-ones ever heard of this guy over in england. The only doubt is wether he'll beat mikkel kessler.
Have seen very little of Dirrell fighting as he has not had much exposure in the UK. Seen a few bouts on youtube and whilst I was impressed with handspeed and movement they have NOT been tested against a quality opponent. I am thinking Froch with either a UD or a late stoppage. I love the Chocolate coin quote. That will probably get Andre Ward's back up too Remember that whilst an olympic medal is a sign of someones stature in the amateur ranks it does not necesarily carry over to pro level e.g. Audley.
LOL. Froch cracks me up and delivers in the ring. He is going to absolutely punish Dirrell, who by the way isn't the next sugar Ray Leonard. He has fast hands but a leaky defence, doesn't move especially well and doesn't seem too keen on getting hit. Froch will cut off the ring, soften Dirrell up with that long jab and then close the curtains on the Andre Dirrell hype express. KO < 10
I actually really like Froch now...he is unwittingly funny in his quotes and his attitude has to be admired. To bad he is heading for a spanking sooner or later.
Froch is a funny guy and he has balls. He came to America and KOed Taylor. However, his boxing skills are very limited. If Dirrel can outbox him (this is easy) and stay clear of the power shots, he should be able to pot-shot to a UD. If Froch overwhelms him, expect a mid to late stoppage.
Hehehe.. I'm really starting to like Carl. He is someone we have been waiting for. A clever mouth. There hasn't been any since Ali. Toney has an iq the size of a bee's dick, and Mayweather is useless at it too. Carl is not really known for bad-mouthing, but he sure can deliver. :rofl
