    Thaxton and John R are doing their best to jinx this for Froch.

    I really dislike Gary Shaw. Clearly doesn't have his fighter's best interests at heart.

    Pure businessman.

    Yeah I don't buy it either

    Different strokes for different folks

    He might thrive on the nerves if indeed he is nervous

    >Takes a lot of pressure off

    Cool story bro. I'm definitely gonna bet on the underdog especially when he's not on home soil and he hasn't fought anything like Froch. I know this is the whole 'dark horse' thing, but this piles more pressure on than it does remove it.

    I don't see what's true about it

    Indeed, its a bit like the weigh in shite "Oh my god look at so and so's 6pack compared to his"

    Its natural he'll have some nerves but like you say some thrive on it.

    I agree, it only becomes a factor if he is acting differently tonight to the way he would normally do

    You seem tense about racism, bro. It's just colours, wash them out, you see the world better.

    This weeks Boxing News had their 60 second interview with Dirrell:

    Question: Pre-fight superstition?

    Dirrell's Answer: Be nervous.
