Saw a Dirrell fight for the first time

Rounds 4-5 were utter schooling. Looked as if Dirrell was gonna completely sominate the fight. Something definitely happened to Dirrell in rounds 6,7,8,9 though. I think it was Froch's rough tactics throwing Dirrell off his game him being so inexperienced.

However Dirrell recovered and hurt Froch in round 10 and rounds 11 and 12 were pretty onesided.

6-4 2 even for Dirrell was my scorecard.

 

Dirrell was a good fighter with a lot of skills. I always said Dirrell would have given Ward his hardest fight. With that said he's been way to inactive at this point to be considered a threat which is a shame because he was a good fighter.

 

What a ****ing shame too, dude has (had?) crazy potential, and most definitely posed the biggest threat to Ward at SMW

I would happily pay to see that fight but it will probably never happen

 

I had Dirrell winning that fight clearly, he also boxed the **** out of Arthur Abraham as well and thats not exactly an easy thing to do

 

Yeah I always wanted to see Ward in there with someone who would have the extreme handspeed advantage and who's a better athlete than he is. It would have been interesting seeing him trying to overcome that. We saw a little of it with Dawson but he was too drained.

 

Except when Froch did it better. Oh, and Ward. Neither of those guys were put on their arse either. RIP Andre Dirrell's career.

 

Is this a term when a fighter does so good that he sodomizes and dominates his opponent simultaneously? Because I thought that's what Dirrell did to Froch that night.

 

Can anybody bring me up to date on what his brother Antony Dirrel is like, I hear he's supposed to be a bit of a beast and as Andre seems to be out of the picture now it would be interesting to see if his brother could make it anywhere in the division

 

Watch how he beats up, outclasses and drops Abraham (an unbeaten Abraham who'd just Bulldozed Jermaine Taylor)

 

yeah Andre won that fight clearly imo 7-5. With the deductions, that'd have him winning by a point. He does have crazy potential though. I'm glad he's working with Floyd Sr. now who notice Andre throws a short jab and doesn't try to land with it.

his brother has a lot of power and pretty good handspeed. Very good timing and accurate. He worries me about his footwork or lack of. He always just stands in one spot and fire counters at you coming in which has worked, but I wonder how it'll hold up in future fights.

 

I believe I gave Dirrell the fight 114-113.. But I wasn't really impressed, and I am not really surprised or shocked that Froch won, Dirrell did look like the better boxer for a portion of the fight, but he threw it away.. It was a fight that he probably could have won, but lack of mentality and sense cost him..

 

The Jermain Taylor Froch beat previously? The Jermain Taylor who Froch's detractors revel in pointing out was shot to **** before Froch beat him? That Jermain Taylor? Some real interesting double standards in here.:nut

 

dirrell got pissed off when the point was deducted, and he started whooping that ass again.

 

Dirrell beat Froch quite clearly.
