Im watching the froch v direll fight right now and my god is direll fast. He is so light on his feet and has fast hands and able to avoid punches at will. I thought Roy Jones and Mayweather were fast but this guy is quicker. And right now for me is winning the fight. Froch wants a war and isnt getting it so is resorting to throwing direll on the floor and using crude tactics. I dont mind froch usually but in this fight he is being exposed for his lack of speed. But I am so suprised at the speed of Direll if only he committed more in some rounds im sure he has the speed to beat froch and avoid being hit. He is one to watch this kid
Faster than Roy jones Jr? Refer to 7.47min of this video. :verysad [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URyaqxK-1fI[/ame] In fact, everybody in that video is significantly faster in terms of pure handspeed.
Yes Roy was fast and still maintains some spee even now, but lets just think about this kid direll he can get even better even faster. I think he has amazing speed Roy excited me when he let the hands go and so does mayweather who is fast and accurate Direll im looking forward to seeing his next fights, he is beating froch right now
Dirrell ****ed himself by not using much offense in the opening 7-8 rounds. If you want to look at the gameplan he should have used, watch Edison Miranda vs Andre Ward. Ward stayed out of range, but would come back with hard shots that were bounching off of Miranda's chin. He did this for 12 rounds. Beautiful performance, I think Dirrell vs Ward would be a spectacular match up. Two young skilled slicksters going at it.
I agree Direll could have done a little more, but im sorry how many punches did froch actually land?? He was missing direll with most he threw I thought Direll won with cleaner quality punches I do take some of what you said though Direll is going to be someone to watch though, I just think he fell into the kind of style Mayweather often uses by circling the ring and avoiding confrontation for parts and then suddenly showing the undoubted ability he has by stepping through the gears and connecting with buetiful punches just like direll did. I still think the fight should have been scored to direll though Kessler I think Froch will find easier to hit but Kessler can hit you with bombs and thats something against direll he doesnt hit that hard he is fast and slick but doesnt have the power of a kessler. Kepp your chin down Carl or your history against the dane
It looked like Froch`s missus was ready to get in the ring herself lol She was even bad mouthing Direll I cant wait to see kessler fight froch, will Froch be able to take Kesslers punches?
I agree, he shows no defence and he holds his hands low very similar to what jc did but without the head movement that Joe showed. Kessler will ko froch with one of those huge uppercuts he throws.
