AA by KO sooner than people may think. Froch commit to much mistakes. If he went down against Taylor (that was owning until the end by the way), what will it be when AA land a clean shot? Some will be shock tonight I think. This bout won't last 12 rounds IMO.
I havent called AA a hype job yet. Read below I think Froch exposed Dirrell as a hype job, like S Martinez did P Williams when on a more even playing field. So it was a good win. Taylor was a good away win for Froch, hype job or not
The problem is this fight could go any way. It will be an all out brawl. If anyone gets the prediction wrong on this one I wouldn't blame them.
Both boxers and teams aren't that smart! Why? They never developed a proper boxing style, nor made a gameplan, a smart tactic or anything else. They are just tough warriors, which I appreciate. But it's kinda sad. For me this fights goes to whoever got a smart man in his team.
Yep Taylor was beating Froch clearly, but then found he couldnt live with Frochs pressure and got stopped. Taylor had good skills, but dosent have the chin against a decent puncher. Taylor would probably have beaten a light puncher like Ward but Froch was too strong. As for Williams and Jacobs, yes they lost to good fighters, but it was the nature of how they lost that spoke volumes. Funny how so many think Pirog is a good fighter now, he wasnt known outside of Europe until after exposing Jacobs and many have only seen that one fight
Danny Jacobs AKA the future of the middleweight division, wasn't a hypejob? I guess you'll say Judah, Chavez jr aren't hypejobs aswell?
I have predicted Froch but would say the last 2 fighters that AA fought in the S6 havent fought again, after both were brutally KOd. Still Im picking Froch to be too much for AA, the arguement could be made that Froch ruined and exposed those fighters for AA to KO.
Jacobs future of the MW division Lacy future of the SMW division Dawson future of the LHW division The list goes on. The only thing bugging me is that when I listed the names of hype jobs, Tarver, Dirrell, Taylor, Jacobs, Lacy, Pavlik, Williams, Dawson etc is that I forgot to put A Green on the list
Not in the S6? Before then when he KOd Codrington the hype ramped up, and continued right up until Miranda beat him. Then it went quiet for a bit, then it gathered pace again to earn a Ring top 10 rating for what? That was the hype. When he entered the S6 he talked up how he was going to make a fight of it against Ward, only to do little. Now he has been beaten again, everyone selectively forgets. I remember when B Mitchell KOd F Liles, how he was heavily hyped and the Ring wrote how Mitchell added excitement to the SMW division. Hype. Its gone silly again. You have Bute a talented fighter, but he dosent have a great resumeto back up the hype. I would say Butes resume is of a similar level to J Lacys win resume. Bute was also nearly KOd by Andrade. Ward is now being hyped for a home headbutt win over an unwell double vision suffering Kessler. Yes it was a good win, but not as good as a well undefeated Kessler that people would love to believe, and we still dont know if Ward can handle all styles yet.
