Carl Froch in Showtimes SuperMiddleweight Tournament, a shot in the arm for boxing !!

try and check out the hanshaw fight.

excellent performance.

he's a tall southpaw.

really good skills. :bbb

decent hitter.

switch hitter.

good on his feet.

class act tbh. :rasta

 

**** bute, the fool demands to much and now wants in, who cares if bute or other SMWs are not there, its like shagging jessica alba and scarrlet johansson and then complaining jennifer aniston wasn't there

i agree ward is gonna surprise a lot of people, i know miranda is crude, but ward was very impressive, looked like miranda saw an alien when ward turned southpaw

 

Speak a bit of english here?

 

Ward could well win this. A helluva lot of talent, might just lack that bit of pop at this level. Dirrell looks good, but I think Froch is too much for him right now.

 

I'm still bitter about thatatsch. Comment of the day, slip! I agree though- this tourny is good enough as it is at the moment. We'll just have to sit tight and see if Showtime (et al) can pull this thing off. I think it's too ambitious a project, to be honest. I'd be pleasantly suprised if it is delivered with no hitches.

 

quite a few dirrell fights on youtube.

he's worth checking out. :hey

He's not going to be to everybodies tastes but he's talented. Kinda like Guzman.

"Mr Heavy bag"

 

Dirrell's not bad i seen a bit of him last night but he's takes so many unessary risks and that's why him vs Froch will be a epic battle. Against Hanshaw he saw out a early onslaught(knocked down but ref ruled he was pushed) to stop him but really the level of opposition is patchy.

He's boxes nicely and picks shots well...likes to switch hit and has hard power but does he at world class level we have to see i'm not so sure. Froch can get to him i'm sure of that because Dirrell traps himself and gets caught he's no Mayweather but a good fighter.

I'd go for Froch to win a power punching battle.

 

In terms of speed he's faster than both probably.

 

It's not really about having speed is it? Anybody can hit Froch. It's backing it up for 12 rounds. If Dirrell can put it together for 12 rounds he has the beating of Froch because he's a much more gifted and a better boxer. If he doesn't, he won't. That is the way Froch fights, his heart and will wears you down unless you have the answers to that.

Time will tell whether Dirrell can take it to the next level.

 

Nor did Pascal with Froch.

 

Diaconu is mundane. He's never done anything and nearly got knocked out by Chris Henry. Damn he won that fight 7-5 at very best. Pascal still has a lot to prove in my eyes. A "great losing effort" against Froch and one win over Diaconu does not make you outstanding.

Dirrell still has a lot to do. His opponents have been very weak, its kinda weird to go from this level straight into the deep end if this tournament came off. He'll either sink or swim. He's certainly got a great chance of beating Froch, it really depends on his stamina and intangibles.
