    dirrell is so unproven that he could win a whitewash or get destroyed....the way he looked vs stevens oganov and hanshaw leads me to think he just may be great...not sure why people sat JT is more skilled...has anyone seen dirrell not look skilled

    I agree, Froch is going to get laid out, his chin wont save him this time.

    He likes to take punishment and he is going to take alot of it in this fight and It will be great to see the underdog put a serious beatdown on the champ

    I can see how saying that Froch can't possibly knock out Taylor and that it would be an easy night for Taylor equates to calling it right. Err, no wait, I can't....

    Are you going to make an actual prediction for Froch v Dirrell? So far you've predicted a points win for Dirrell and a points win for Froch. And there's still several months left for a few more predictions!

    The only time I've seen him even flinch was in the first round against Hanshaw. What's always led me to believe that his chin is questionable is not that he's been hurt, but that he ran all night away from the biggest puncher he's faced. He took Oganov's punches well though.

    I don't doubt he'll eat some full force shots from Froch. We'll see what happens when he does. He's good at avoiding shots, but with his defensive style, he's bound to get caught by something he didn't see coming at some point in the fight.

    Dirrell is sort of my dark horse to win the whole thing. I can see how he might give anyone in the tournament problems, and probably the guy best equipped to outbox him is his old buddy Andre Ward. On the other hand, we know so little about his chin, heart and stamina, that he could also easily go 0-3 and never be heard from again.
