i know the english are. but my point is that the adrenaline a home fighter gains coming into the ring is only gained there. once the fight starts i promise you both fighters dont even notice the crowd.
Yeah, Froch won that first round against Pascal. JP was in survival mode big time. Dirrell may not survive it! When Hanshaw did something similar (but not as aggressive) Dirrell got KD. When it comes to outright aggression Froch makes Hanshaw look like a choir boy :hey
It depends on Direll's makeup and just how ugly the crowd behaves. As an X factor it has to favor Froch. They're his adoring fans and Dirrell's first time fighting outside the US.
And Dirrell was dropped heavily by a right hand. What's Frochys best punch? :deal Dirrell doesn't seem to employ that much head movement and his lateral movement isn't all that. He doesn't have much pop in his punches, and with a point to prove he's going to attack Froch. I can't see any way Dirrell gets out of this fight without taking a sustained beating barring a miracle early stoppage. Looking at what he attempted to do to Ogamov early, it'd be very surprising for him to be able to hurt Froch.
fighters at this level dont freeze because of the crowd. like i said above a home crowd pumps up the home fighter before a fight but you may as well put headphones on both fighters once the bell rings.
All I know is that if Froch loses this fight his career is over. In spite of the nearly even odds, nobody has any idea who Dirrell is; and if a virtual unknown, the least experiences man in the tournament beat Froch and takes his title, he might as well pull out of the Super Six.
I am from England but English people do make me laugh, you guys love bringing up things like the crowd and stupid **** about how it would affect a fighter. Of course the crowd will affect a fighter but it wont affect his ****ing talent. Dirrell will know what he needs to do and if he sticks to it, he should win. Froch however will be in his hometown so he is no doubt going to try and steam roll Dirrell in exactly the same way he did Pascal and for that he will receive a lots of leather
not just the crowd but the whole big stage. how will he deal with the nerves. were have to wait and see
Eh? Bollocks. It's a tournament! It depends what Froch and Dirrell continue to do afterwards. If Froch got beaten then came back to win all his fights and the Super-six with Dirrell a close second would his career still be over? Engage your brain before your fingers touch the keyboard.
Lol! The House of Commons is no joke. Adversarial politcs may get alot of criticism, but it makes for good viewing!
Depends on the individual, you cant take a crwd into the ring with you, you either get intimadated, let it inspire you or stick to your game plan. Froch seems a bit too reliant on the crowd shitting up his opponent though
