Fair enough mate. I'll happily wear your avi and start a humble pie eating thread if I'm wrong. Good luck and enjoy the fight.
Likewise mate, may the best man win, I have put my neck right out so I am ready to eat humble pie if I have to, but I am confident in my boy to pull off the KO, not even the decision but the KO. So he takes it out the hand of the judges. I spent alot of time watching Froch last night and I feel confident in the KO, Froch gets stunned and loses concentration for a few seconds and that is when he looks at the most vulnerable and you dont want to lose concentration with someone as fast and accurate as Dirrell. He is a natural 168lbs so he can wallop but he chooses not to sit down on every shot, only when needs be. Good Luck.
so to sum: froch is a triple jumper and direll is a sprinter! pascal was an up and comer and froch wasnt?? :nut and the always entertaining and somewhat tiresome cliche:taylor gassed because he lost,it was not the near decapitation of a froch hook it was simply thus:the poor boy simply had an asthma attack!! funny, people never say that when he wins!! anyway brilliant, thanks for that. oh this place somtimes
If you look through Carl Froch's career on boxrec, you'll find he's ended the career of 5 fighters. Thats 20% of the people he's fought! but what makes me laugh is when people say froch is just a brawler and that a boxer will dominate him well if he cant box how did he become a 2-time national amateur champion and a world amateur championships bronze medallist aswell as winning 9 or so gold medals as an england international as an amateur?! now since people use the taylor 'gassed' excuse yet again,lets flip that coin!! froch had no time prior to the fight to warm up he was wrapped and out due to the green fight ending early and arriving late...not my words his and his team! but im not making excuses just like you would'nt for jermaine right? p.s people need to watch that fight again taylor was up by 2 rounds at the most going into the 12th,idiots.
Well said. I had this same discussion with Solid Chin in another thread, he clearly has an issue with Froch, and an issue giving props where there due. Noone is saying Froch is a masterful boxer, but he is great at the tools he has been given. Fantastic will, Great chin, good power and an ability to close the show when the opportunity is there. Dirrell has not faught anyone with these skills and a heart like Froch!
Just watch this fight (Andre Dirrell vs Anthony Hanshaw) and not a fuc*ing chance is Dirrell knocking him out. You're all on crack!
whered u get the dvd set from ive wanted to rewatch that mark woolnough fight for ages that was good the canadian champ he still is actually froch finished him round 11. but anyways did u c dirrell get near ko'd by that bum rocha had him in lala land but was saved by the bell il post vid if need be an handshaw dropped him aswel now there nowhere near froch level. that running round like matthew barney tactic shows that wnt work 4 dirrell either dirrel is wild in a way and very open his defence is leaky wen do u c him ever slip or parry or block shots???? he jus leans back or runs away from shots he dosent use skill moves an yeh froch aint no rjj but he does block slip an slide an ride shots using boxiing skilled moves. dirrell punches then trys pushing u over hel never manhandle froch like that. dirrell looks nervous already his face distorts wen tryna b confident u look in frochs druid cold snake eyes he is like naz in his prime he really has swagger an confidence from within an does not believe he'l lose. naz was like that until the barrera fight he started showing fear signs like sayin hel win god willing wen as b4 hed say no 1 can beat me allah will never let me lose il never lose i refuse to lose etc so his mental game went due to poor training an letting things distract him. but to the point dirrel gets dun between rounds 4-6 by tko trust me he aint that hard to hit the bums he fights av no idea how to close off a ring and there like heights 5'7 and 5'10. an dirrell being 6'2 the reach an easy range finding is easy to look gud wen the guys av uphill struggles. froch is 6'1 an 79ins reach hel find dirrel easy an his frame is bigger than dirrell. dirrell cant crack an egg he has pitta patter spitfire speed yes but wen u got a big strong athletic s.middle man imposing himself on u ul get tired alot quicker than dancing round sum short blown up l.middles an middleweights. trust dirrel would not beat neather pascal nor taylor nor tatesovyn nor robin reid and barney would of gave dirrell hell and woolnough. and froch loves the right cross an right uppercut an tantalising jab with authority dirrells jab cammands no respect. froch had an 88 - 6 amatuer record 2time national aba champ won the 4 nations gold' commonwelth games gold' won multi national rep golds and was the 1st brit to win a medal in the world amatuer championships which in the trade is known is harder to win a medal in the worlds than the olympics as all nations are involved inc the ones who boycott olympics 4 certain reasons. so dnt dare say he has no skill lets remember ppl like audley' degale and khan all did better than dirrell at olympics. he got bronze and did not get robbed either. unlike rjj an pbf did. ward is better than dirrel so dnt get ahead of urselves with this pretender who is beating tomato cans.:bbb
I've got to give it to you, confidence in ourselves, at that level, is as important as skills, stamina or power.
is this the dirrell that was scared to fight curtis stevens even though curtis moved up in weight to fight...**** outta here..froch by brutal ko....froch has spider arms with a good jab and a right hand that can be sneaky at times...its gonna be good fight until about the 5th or 6th round then you will see froch take dirrells heart who has not experienced a fighter of frochs style and caliber....dirrell was in my mind a good 1-2 fights away with legit comp before steppin this far up......
Magee, Tatevosyan and woolnough had never been halted until they faced froch,woolnough fight was top!didnt know you could get it on dvd.
