I think Price v Thompson should be a good guage for the big fella. TBH I think Fury is more hype than talent but he has impoved vastly since uppercutting himself a few years back Hoping Kell puts Devon on his backside and takes the title. He is a likable young boxer :good
Bang on again regarding Price mate and regarding Fury well ? Since Ty's dad went away I see he has become more focused and for a huge bloke he has got himself into fantastic nick , so much so if he caught himself with a self inflicted uppercut like that again he would have to take a ****ing knee lol . Gotta run lads ( looks like I'm building a snowman in the morning with the grandson ,**** sakes ))
Disagree think Kessler is taking Froch's belt. Burns is having a unification fight with Vasquez and Murrays fighting Sexy. They lose all 3 IMO.
Its hard not to like a fighter Like Carl Froch...........fights anyone & evryone on the world scene & gives them all hell.
It amazes me what people choose to see sometimes. Froch was the dirty fighter in that fight, rabbit punches and holding. Dirrell went to the ground, what 3 times? Froch outright wrestled with him and threw him on the ground out of frustration after not being able to land anything other than rabbit punches in the clinch. Also lol at anybody who thought Dirrell was acting against Abraham, I suggest you research some of the effects of concussion if you think him acting like a baby afterwards was intentional.
He was straight up acting like a ***** in the AA fight. He looked up at the ref for a moment before putting on an award winning performance. Each to their own, but imo he put that **** on.
I don't see where he's looking at the ref, his head goes backwards after he's hit and then he slumps over. Concussion is complicated, it can be delayed and you can only be out for a split second and still do things instinctively without conscious control. Abraham is a heavy puncher and landed on his chin while he wasn't looking and on his knees. Dirrell didn't do a damn thing wrong in that fight and he gets treated like the villain. People don't understand concussion and think they can judge if someone is faking or not. Maybe Dirrell did play it up but even if he did he did nothing wrong, Abraham took the cheap shot so all the vitriol should be aimed at the cheater who was clearly losing the fight.
:good100 % agree. If Dirrell just scraps through to win a round then he ****in gets the round 10-9. You don't give the champ a round 10-9 is he didn't win it, that is corruption. If it's genuinely an even rd and you can't separate them then score it even you don't give it to the champ just because he is the champ.
My bad. It had been a while since i watched the fight. He looked up at AA before slumping to the ground and rolling around. IMO he faked it, we might disagree but that my honest opinion. AA was losing the fight but he was comming on strong in the later rounds. I just felt at the time watching the fight Dirrell took the easy way out. Nothing against you, thats my view on the matter.
