    Dont get caught up in records or previous performances dude, I've seen enough of this kidd to make such a prediction and I am going to stick to it too. Froch is too slow of hand and foot and Dirrell wont be standing there like Taylor and Pascal was to be hit. Those guys did not fight smart fights, Taylor fought a good fight but he lost concentration and got caught late. If it wasn't for that he would of won pretty easily.

    Froch got dropped in the 3rd and if Taylor was a good finisher Froch would of been sent back to nobody status.

    Froch wont even figure in this tournament and I cant even see him winning a fight and I am not being silly Im being serious.

    Froch will not scrape out another win like he did Taylor, Froch beat Taylor because of Taylor not because of Froch. He forced a stoppage but if that were any other fighter in there who knew how to tie up or to just box at range instead of getting into the jaws of Froch, Froch would of lost a decision so I am not converted to Froch yet and if he beats Dirrell convincingly then I will be forced to give Froch tons of respect because I believe that Dirrell will be much tougher a fight than Pascal and Froch put together. Dirrell fights much smarter than those 2 guys fight

    Dirrell's best win was Oganov. Zuniga beat Oganov before Dirrell did, and did a much more convincing job of it. I think that gives us some idea of where Dirrell should be rated right now: He's a good prospect, and that's about it at this point. He may shock the world, but personally I think he is in over his head.

    but no one has seen him up against world class opposition yet. froch is fairly green himself but has proved himself against taylor.

    Still, stylstically, Froch is always at risk of being outboxed by an athletic fighter. Dirrell may be inexperienced but he has the raw abilities: fast, accurate punching, a solid jab and a good defensive/counter-punching faculty.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if Dirrell takes this handsomely.

    I do not see Dirrell stopping Froch or even dropping him but I can't see the plodding Froch connecting. I think Dirrell is much quicker than Taylor and Froch could hardly cope with Taylor's speed until he gassed. If Dirrell gets stupid and tried to brawl with Froch he'll get KO'd but I think he knows what he has to do and is capable of sticking and moving for 12 rounds at a speed that Froch cannot adjust to or time.

    Dude you ride every british fighters dick until it breaks off in your wanker *******.

    He did get exposed by Pascal, if Froch was as good as people rate him he woulda destroyed Pascal rather scrape out a close points win. I've been saying Pascal is nothing special for years now (look at my past posts for proof) but I knew that because he was athletic he'd give Froch hell despite not being a great boxer. I've watched Pascal since the beginning, since his first telivised fights before most people here knew who he was as I'm a Canadian and had access to his early fights and he still makes the same mistakes that he's been making since his early days and will get beaten by a sharp counter puncher. One thing I'll give Pascal credit for is Heart though, he has a ton of guts as does Froch.

    The thing is that Dirrell is levels above Pascal when it comes to defense, sharpness, speed and counter punching. Pascal gave Froch hell on athleticism alone fighting Froch's fight. Froch is screwed if he fights someone with athleticism who's a skilled technical boxer which Dirrell certainly has both. Dirrell won't fight Froch's fight, he'll be tagging him and moving the whole fight he won't trade punches like Pascal did. I mean **** Pascal gave Froch his toughest fight to date and he even traded punches with the puncher.:deal:deal:deal

    I think Dirrell gets knocked out early, he seems to linger just a bit too long in the pocket admiring his work. I think Froch cracks him and doesn't let him recover.

    Wouldn't surpise me, but I don't think it'll be that wide. But it will be a clear UD for Dirrell.

    I feel that it will go the distance...and be very competitive ..I dont know....Froch is a very good fighter,he proved that by stopping JT....But then again something is tellin me dont be so sure Froch is going 2 win,i cant shake the feeling,I feel Dirrel is going to shock us all!!! he already stated that he feel Froch is going 2 be his easiest fight yet and is Highly confident of beating Froch...

    This is Dirrells moment. That "he hasnt proven himself against world class opposition" excuse was true about every boxer in exsistence until they fought a top tier fighter. What they did with the opportunity was up to them as this will be up to Dirrell. I think this is where he makes his name personally and puts that 1st loss on Frochs record. But i wouldnt be surprised i Froch pulled it out. He proved me wrong against JT

    I don't know ANYTHING about Dirrell but there seem to be a lot of people who think he is good. Add Jack Loew to the list. His only problem is he thinks the two Andres haven't done enough that they should be in the tourney. But, he was high on Dirrell, I don't remember him picking him to do anything though. Jack is favoring Kessler. Nice safe choice I guess.
