dude gets hated on more than anything. he's underrated, very good counterpuncher with good footwork and D, whoever said he's a reflex fighter is a dumb ass, he's well rounded but lacks mental toughness.
I agree. I'm tired of people acting like Dirrell is the second best super middle next to Ward when he hasn't beaten anyone. I don't see him being champion and I don't see him beating Froch. His brother Anthony is more talented and has a better chin in my opinion. What Andre lacks in chin and power his brother has. It's almost like Wlad and Vitali.
And why would you think Andre Dirrell is a better boxer than Anthony Dirrell? Anthony Dirrell is undefeated and has a better KO percentage.
Not really. He has no power and his defense has enough holes in it that Froch could outbox him. He stands no chance in hell against Ward or Chad Dawson.
I would be confident picking Froch to win a rematch. You have to think, the first fight happened in 2009, back then Froch had two fights at world level. Pascal and Taylor. In the Taylor fight, Froch looked ****ing terrible for 8 or 9 rounds, i mean seriously Taylor was putting it on him, hurting him, dropping him, it was worse than anything Ward did, and Ward is a better fighter than Taylor. Ok Froch got the win but it was bad. I wasn't confident Froch would beat Dirrell, after looking so raw, I thought the kid had a great chance. Now I thought Froch deserved the win, but again he looked raw and caveman like. Since then, Dirrell fought nobody but Abraham, where god knows what happened, but look at the experience Froch has racked up. Kessler Abraham Johnson Ward Bute 53 rounds at world championship level. He's a better fighter now, hell the froch from back then probably WOULD have got ko'd by Abraham, and certainly he would have had all sorts of problems with Bute Froch is a better fighter now than he was then, and Dirrell is just the same guy, hell he's probably worse due to inactivity and i wouldnt be surprised if he lost some speed and stamina. Unless Dirrell got his ass into gear and had 3-4 tough fights over 18 months he'll never be back into position before Froch retires anyway, the man isn't going on forever, and Dirrell would probably find a way to lose one of those anyway and get back to square one. I don't know how anyone could have any faith in him after the **** he pulled in the last 3 years, any at all.
you're crazy, he had enough power to stun froch and drop abraham. he's got above average power, great speed, good footwork..... and no Froch didn't outbox him at any point, he won 5 rounds and bullied him around vs Dirrell but outbox him he did not.
Abraham wasn't hurt. Honestly Dirrell does not have much power. His brother has trainwrecking power and I think would give Froch or Ward problems but I don't think Andre Direll has one punch KO power. Look at his KO percentage and look at how he fights. If he had so much power why isn't he fighting more like his brother knocking guys out?
his brother isn't even comparable, YDSAB if you think he does, he's light years more advanced in the sweet science and punches as hard but doesn't fight as primitive or rely on the ko. you crazy son
