Could Dirrell ever have beaten the Cobra?

If they fought best 2 out of 3.

 

Not in Nottingham evidently.

 

Froch is not hard to beat. If Dirrell could keep his head straight he can win. If they were to fight each other 4-5 times I would pick Dirrell getting better after every fight. By the 3rd fight he has Froch figured out. He can gauge distance better without acting all wild.

 

In many eyes he did

I scored for Froch but it was so close

I think Dirrel learned enough in the fight to where he probably wins a rematch

 

I thought he had Froch figured out in the first fight.

 

Andre beat him he was just robbed of a decison

 

He did already and got robbed,stop being so delusional jeez.Home fighter will always get the decision in such important and competitive fights.

 

He would've won the first fight if it wasn't for some of the worst environmental awareness I've ever seen. In Michigan, he'd have won. Why he fought that strategy on the road, I'll never understand. All he had to do was let his hands go more. :conf

 

I had Dirrell beating Froch in a close fight. I think he had the style to also trouble Froch with his speed, movement and refusal to engage.

He was very unfortunate to not get the decision and then to be fouled by AA which basically derailed his career. I had picked him to win the Super 6 and who knows he may have had he got that decision and not been fouled by AA. We will never know how good he could have been, he hasn't looked the same since his return.

 

Froch was a fighter who could be outboxed and often was, but I think Froch would win more than lose against Dirrell overall as I just think that Dirrell can be too negative against someone like Froch.
What I did find alarming when Froch and Dirrell did fight was how Froch wasnt cutting the ring off and just following Dirrell around but I also found Dirrells holding tough to watch.
Overall I would pick Froch to win more than lose

 

That's basically what I was saying. He could beat him with less running.

 

Wasn't Kessler the favorite? Old man Kessler with a jacked up wrist,neck and back. Kessler was a cripple when Ward beat him. Kessler being the favorite to win the tournament was mind boggling. If they had seen his medical records the doctors might not of even cleared him to fight. What a joke. The tournament where you can lose and still be in it. That's classic. Ward fought a two time loser in the semi final?? LOL

 

I think he did beat him to be honest
