SPEED KILLS !!! Dirrell is going to OUTBOX Froch to a UD

ill admit, its not much ive seen of dirrell, but ive just youtubeb him and seen some clips, AND here is my verdict.

He will get ****ed up by froch, pascal and taylor are much better fighters with as much speed as dirrell..

dirrell even with his size and reach doesnt have a good jab and he doesnt use it to keep the distance. In ALL the clips ive seen of him, the opponents have an easy time getting close.

Froch will dismantle this overrated ****er.

 

Obviously I'm going on what I've read about the guy and a knowledge of Froch's weaknesses.

 

Taylor didn't trade. it was a right from distance that set him up for the stoppage. Even he said his stamina was okay.

 

i see dirrell being ahead on the cards then froch KOing or possible TKO aorund the mid to late rounds,i am going to guess 8th round stoppage.
​

 

Chavez was also a world class fighter though. I rate Froch higher than I did before his last two fights, but he's still not some kind of elite boxer. He's still a really slow fighter with leaky defense who has good power, stamina and chin.

I find it amusing that so many people are saying Pascal is better than Dirrell. More proven? Sure, because of his last two fights, but before then the two were fighting the same level of opponent, and Dirrell was whooping on them while Pascal struggled at times.

Also, people are forgetting that Dirrell is a lefty. Who's the best southpaw Froch has faced? Tatevosyan? Some fighters just don't look the same when they're in there with a southpaw.

 

I agree, Dirrell should be favored in this fight, even though he's a little green I think he can beat Froch. All Froch has done is beat the overrated Taylor in a fight he was losing(getting outboxed) before Taylor gased out.

 

Taylor didn't gas, he was throwing decent shots and moving well in the first minute of the 12th. A booming right from Froch straight down the pipe hurt Taylor and thats when he got on his bike. This Taylor gassing myth is just that and has been taken as received wisdom on these boards ,its just bull ****.

Direll hasn't been 12 rounds, has never boxed outside of the US and will never have fought in front of such a hostile crowd against a man who is immensely strong...there is every chance that the occasion could get to the young man and we could end up with a Froch blow out....hope not as it would be bad for the credibility of the tournament

 

ill remember this thread and if by some chance lightning strikes in nottingham, then ill give direll his dues..

i saw the oganov, hamshaw clips and another one, which name i cant remember, and im not overly impressed.

i havent commented on him until this thread, but only read what was said about him on this board. The way he was described, is far from the truth. Andre the matrix, yeah right

im much more impressed, by wards performance against miranda and i mean much more.

even those shitty fighters dirrell fought, closed the distance with ease and he seemed very very uncomfortable when being pressured. Hamshaw landed on him with ease.

well guess what.. froch is as big as dirrell, no size and reach advantage there, he will be right within frochs range all the time, and froch is going to pressure him, make him uncomfortable and simply knock him out.

my prediction will be froch by ko within 10

 

Dirrell is impressive but he's making a big leap in quality of opposition here. He can definitely outbox the cruder Froch but the big question is can he maintain discipline when the going gets a little tough.

This is a great matchup of boxer versus puncher. If Dirrell had a bit more experience I'd go with him but I think his lack of big fight experience and the fact that its in England work against him. The pressure might get to Dirrell.

I lean towards Froch because of the intangibles.

 

your full of its buts and maybes ,not hard to put a game plan together in camp,different situation when youve got possibly the strongest and very determined and heavy handed froch hunting you down for the full 12 rounds in his home town and trust me you will see a far better overall performance from froch this time round than the last two fights...
dirrell maybe a good prospect but froch will break him down and ko dirrell.:good
