A closer look at Andre Dirrell

Boro chris · Oct 8, 2009

Changed my mind on this again. Think Froch might try and jump him in the first, after which Dirrel will pick Froch off with his left (should stick to orthodox imo) and have variable success with those flashy combinations. However I see Carl being accurate enough to land with heavy right hands and force a late stoppage in a close fight. About the 10th.

This is the 1st time I've ever picked Froch to win a fight and he's done well despite that so Carl is probably ****ed now!

Perhaps.

I see Dirrell going into the fight with the following strategy: Go hard to Froch in the opening 1-2 rounds. Try to take advantage of his speed and be aggresive. Let Froch know that he is in for a long hard night. Then in round 2-3 start pot shooting. Pot shoot and pot shoot.. avoid getting tagged at all cost and try to make Carl look clumsy as he is chasing Andre around the ring. Be very elusive and pot shoot and away ... and so on.

After the 1-2 rounds, it will take some rounds for Froch to find out what Andre is now doing and Andre may be ahead on the cards after 6-7 rounds. From there on he will just keep pot shooting while trying to make Carl look flatfooted and slow.

He will act a lot at the same time trying to give the impression that he is toying with Carl and that Carl cannot hit anything but air.

After the fight he will either get the win. Or - if he does not - many American fans will claim that he should have gotten the win and that he toyed with Froch and Carl only got the win because it took place in Nottingham.

____________

I think the above strategy is Dirrell's best option. It is very unlikely he will benefit from dogging it out with Carl for 12 rounds. He will also not be able to be aggresive because that will allow Carl the time and space to get going. He basically cannot do much more than pot shoot for much of the fight and hope the judges buy into it.

Great Stuff. I agree that's what he should do also. This is a championship fight and the opening fight of the super six. I think Dirrell will be extremely focused and ready to implement his gameplan come the 17th. Either way, we're going to learn alot about both fighters after the fight.

I bookmarked this thread. We shall see who is right and who is wrong my friend. The question is will you have the minerals to come back here and admit it?

Lol how foolish would the thread starter look if Dirrel totally schools FrankinFroch. I'm not really sure who wins this I'm just hoping for an entertaining bout.

Yes great analysis, considering next he fights Kessler then Abraham. God people on here are stupid, do they never look at the full picture!

Most experts are saying Froch and Taylor have the hardest draws in the tournement!
