    I hear ya. The key for me is for Dirrell to be focused at all times.

    Froch will NOT stop coming forward. The guy doesn't stop coming forward even if he's getting hit from all angles. Dirrell can't take time out to showboat or play with his trunks or any of the other little lapses in concentration he has.

    Someone mentioned AA's experience as his strength. I think JT has the best resume in this tournament, easily. Kessler is a distant 2 in that regard.

    Bika is SLOPPY...He and Froch would be a toughman contest more than a boxing match.

    How old is he anyway...40?..50?

    Froch couldnt snap a middleweight in half. How he's gonna snap the bigger faster Dirrell in half?

    Froch seems like a nice guy and all, but the public seems to be in the dark here. England's far too excited about Froch's biggest victory, over a softened Jermaine Taylor. Taylor is NOT faster than Dirrell. The way you can tell...well, first watch a fight of one guy, then watch a fight of the other. Take notice of how long each puncher's glove takes to get from it's starting point to it's finishing point. The guy who spends less time throwing the punch has the faster hands. I know it sounds complicated, but with an hour or so of actually paying attention to boxing under your belt, it will start to come easier. Dirrell's hands are EASILY quicker than Taylor's, and even more so than Froch's. And guess what else Euro backers....Dirrell's power just might be comparable with Taylor's. Don't get me wrong, Dirrell is highly unproven. But Froch isnt? Anyone else happen to notice that Froch comes in slow and wide? Dare I say Froch could possibly be tailor-made for Dirrell? I think that's going to be up to Dirrell. I don't even like Dirrell, but that's no reason not to call it how I see it. And yeah teasippers, keep telling yourselves that Froch's best asset, his "granite" chin, is going to win him the fight. I may be going out on a limb here, but some of the better fighters here in America have this crazy philosophy when it comes to boxing, don't get hit. Crazy **** huh? I'll let you all figure it out from there.

    I am completely aware of that. That is why I feel the public is in the dark, because the public betting is what sways these odds. Also a good reason for myself to drive to Nevada and throw down money on whoever's not Froch. Imagine that...Vegas giving me the handicap on a fighter I know is going to win. Too easy. A boxing better's dream.

    Don't know about him winning the tournament but I think he'll beat Froch.

    I like Dirrell, he is a skilled fighter and without a doubt has more talent than Carl Froch BUT winning isnt just about skill and Carl Froch has more heart, grit & determination, power, better conditioning, better ring generalship, finishing ability, confidence and a better chin. He doesn’t have the strap for nothing.

    In the taylor fight he was off his game for the first half and looked tense, as soon as he relaxed the playing field changed, that wont happen with a home town advantage.

    I really cant see anyone but Kessler challenging him for the Six with Abraham an outside bet if he carries his power and speed upto 168.

    Ward and Dirrel are there purely for US TV, Andrade, Bute or even Allan Green deserve a shot over them but they dont make PPV numbers.

    Fair enough on your opinion but whats with the ****ing insults? Not everyone in Britain thinks Froch is superman. We're just backing our guy like your gonna do with your guys. I agree Dirrell has a good chance, Froch is slow and holds his hands low but I'm still backing Froch to win.
