Then he will lose some more decisions he should win because he has an unpleasing style, as well as getting his ass beat when he steps up against better fighters than Froch. If Froch wasn't slow as **** and could have cut off the ring Dirrell would have had a much longer night.
I wouldn't go that far. Dirrell showed that he could have beaten Froch if he had a better plan and some Abrahams. The skill was all there to do it. I had the fight 6-6 even though Dirrell fought all wrong and didn't try to TAKE the belt for the first 10 rounds. As I see it Dirrell can only do better if they meet again.
Yeah... If you're in America. :rofl Meanwhile the British Empire is obsessed. All it took was a few Calzaghe fantasy matchups. :rofl
Nah.. I spent the last couple of months in the UK and Dawson is completely unknown there. Out of a 100 sports interested guys, not one had any idea who Dawson is. Dirrell was also not so known, but because of the Super Six he is still far more known and I reckon that after the Froch fight he will have become even more well-known.
I'm English and i had Dirrel by 3 points. Dirrel wasn't amazing, he missed a lot in early rounds himself, maybe unnoticed by some because of the handspeed. It was a close fight, i didn't like the point deduction, and at the end i had it by 3. It was very close, some of the rounds that is, but 3 points is 3 points so i have to call it a hometown one, in my personal perception that is. I didn't like how Froch's bird called Dirrel a ***git when she was in the crowd, if she knew what every fighter who has been in a ring goes through eh? And Froch talking that **** about how he was making the fight, like there's only one certifiable style of fighting, ****ing cringing.
Dirrell was very lucky he was in with Froch and not Kessler or Abraham. Even Ward appears to be a lot better than Dirrell. Dirrell showed a real lack of toughness and technique (although obviously his technique was much better than Froch's, which is non-existent). I'm thinking he'd better be on his bicycle against King Arthur.
I think its Froch that needs to change ..He keeps escapin g by the skin of his teeth ..His day are numbered !Dirrell just needs to be a little more aggressive and get mentally tougher his boxing is just fine .
I don't think Froch can change. I think he fights about as well as he is capable of. He's very tough and hits hard, but lacks certain skills that I don't think he can obtain. It'll be enough to beat many fighters, but not Abraham and Kessler.
guys, this was dirrell's first title fight and he fought in froch's hometown. give me a ****in break. what does he really need to change? he fought HIS fight in a place most veterans would have a hard time doing so. he completely neutralized froch in every sense of the word. sure he held and was sloppy often. he's still green and i highly doubt that would have been the case if he wasn't fighting his very first televised title fight in england. the guy deserves all the credit in the world. he doesn't need to change a thing right now.
He has no confidence in his chin, thats why he's scared shitless to get touched. Fighting against a puncher atleast he'll always have that running,hugging,surviving boring style of boxing.
