Man this is the worst possible matchup for Froch. Dirrell is a much more talented fighter then Taylor and Taylor really had a pretty easy time with Froch until he gassed and fall apart. I see Dirrell winning 118-110 or via a late stoppage...HOWEVER I think that the second most likely outcome would be one very similar to that of Froch vs Taylor.
I don't know how anyone can say with any certainty how this fight will play out. Dirrell has looked extremely good against the talentless meat-sacks they've paired him with thus far, but no one knows how he'll handle relentless pressure from a big, powerful SMW like Froch. He may rise to the occasion and outclass Froch all night. Or not. I'm looking forward to finding out though.
Like we did know very few of Froch before he faced Pascal and Taylor. You're right. How good is Dirrell? We just don't know.
I personnaly think it's gonna be Froch by KO or Dirrell by UD. The only intangible here is how is Dirrell gonna do with the pressure Froch might put on him ?
Greens calling everyone out, but he doesn't deserve the fights yet. He needs more wins against top guys before getting to the elite IMO.
I see something like that, Froch weakness has been already spotted, but we don't know about Dirrell, maybe he's too green for this fight, Froch is a young champ but he got valuable ring experience in his two last fights. If Dirrell can handle the pressure, maybe he can win, if he can't, Froch will find a way to check his chin and heart.
Its one thing beating bums and quite another beating BHop twice,and being undisputed MW champ.People only seem to remember Taylor for the KO losse's to Pavlik and Froch.Lets not forget,he had Pavlik doing the silly dance,and is the only man to have made Froch touch canvas.Dirrell will look good and grow in confidence untill Froch tags him,then his world will fall apart.
Pascal = Poor man's Dirrell Dirrell UD I guess we'll see about Dirrell's chin though. Ever since the Stevens fight, I've suspected that he's a little shaky under there, but he's taken plenty of flush shots without getting buzzed, so who knows. Maybe he was just being extra careful against a limited fighter.
