    Spot on, Froch gets hit too much and he will probably end up getting stopped

    Who the f*&K knows. No one has ever seen Dirrell in a battle, never seen him have to give it all for 12 hard rounds. He may be 100% up for the challenge, or not, but nobody on ESB knows. It's all speculation. Which is what makes this fight so so interesting. Can't wait for this tournament.

    No way is dirrell's jab as good as Jt's. taylor has an authoritative and powerful jab. Dirrell has a quick, but don't hit me type jab.

    Dirrel has better skills than both imo, Pascal is sloppy, Taylor just fades down the stretch seems to have a big stamina problem and has problems with pressure and thats the only reason he lost to Froch.

    Also, does anybody know how well Dirrel takes a bod shot? just curious. Has any1 hurt him to the body or ever really hit him there? i have only seen his more recent fights, its hard to find his earlier stuff.

    Not seen Dirrell hurt by a body shot but then I don't recall seeing him get hit with a decent one.

    I like Froch and to be honest i can see him beating dirrell. In saying that though i do believe that every fight froch takes part in will be a war as his defence and head movement is non existent and he relies purely on his granite chin and determination to get through a fight. I,m not so sure he will be able to sustain that sort of punishment against a big hitter like mikkel kessler for 12 rounds but i think froch will leave the tournament with 2 losses and those both being to kessler who i predict will win the tournament

    I can see that happening at some point in the future after he has had a few more wars - but at the moment no.
