    And I assume it's the same on the general forum but in reverse? Dirrell will school him etc etc.

    And I ain't English - I'm Scottish.

    To those attenting this fight....it's a breath of fresh air to hear fellow ESB members get so pumped up for a fight live and in the flesh. I hope you all get your money's worth as I see this being a attritional war either way. I have a good feeling about this tourney as a whole because I see it as the launching point and clean slate for fair judging across the board and a shot in the arm for Boxing into '10. No matter if a fight goes down in Nottingham, Copenhagen, Berlin, Oakland etc., I bet the judging will be forthright.

    Agreed Slip - I'm half as excited about meeting some of the lads from the site. Add that to what should be a great fight and this is something i'm really looking forward too

    Dirrell has never gone twelve rounds. Froch can't keep relying on late salvage jobs though, as eventually he will come up short.

    Well said :good

    There's no doubt that this tournament will give boxing a boost!

    We have 6 very talented fighters involved, all with different strengths and weaknesses - meaning that people can't sit back before the tournament starts and say this fighter or that fighter will definitely win.

    It's my first Live fight on Saturday too - hopefully the first of many!
     
  8. I can't wait for Dirrell to show his class and outbox Froch, you are all in for a shock

    Gone for Froch Ko. Really looking forward to this fight. Love Frochs attitude.
    No one really knows how good this Dirrel is. Top amateur,but largely untested as a pro.
    From what little I've seen,he's got very fast hands,but no accuracy.
    The Hanshaw fight shows he has decent power,after his man had shot his bolt.But goin off the 2 early kd's(not ruled) Froch should walk right through him.
    Did'nt look to have much of a dig in the Oganov fight.Seemed to slap and cuff a lot,did'nt give any angles.But said he was the strongest man he'd faced and he'd never been as sore after a fight.
    Think he'll be very sore come sunday morning. He'll be fast and competative for 5/6 rnds,may even be ahead.He'll use up a lot of nervous energy.But then i feel Froch will be to strong and powerfull for him,and stop him.
     
  10. everyone here is underestimating Dirrells capabilities

    you are in for a massive surprise

    Way I see it going, Dirrell looks good early, very fast. Gets flash tagged and dropped around 3 or 4, gets on his bike but gets walked down and knocked out before end of 8th.
    Dirrell backs off when he's tagged and can get cornered where he'll trade. One thing he cant do against Froch is trade.

    Thinking about these two fights at the weekend a little more, i'm really convinced that they're fairly easy to call and not 50/50 as many including myself initially thought.

    I'll put it simply and bluntly, i think Dirrell is a imposter he's a fake ass Roy Jones wonna be. Froch will walk him down like Jason does those chicks in Friday the 13th lol And Taylor will outbox AA early and then hit a wall like always.

    Just watched a bit more of Dirrell, thats the Oganov fight specifically.

    I don't really see why anyone could think Froch won't stop him. The way he moved, the combinations he threw in that 1st round, I just can't see him denting Froch.

    His punches do not have enough on them to stop Froch. At worst, Froch will take a round or 2 to get used to the speed of the flurries. His chin is relativly high almost all the time, Froch is going to hit him while absorbing a flurry and floor him.

    I'm really confident about this fight as Dirrell is not the fighter that is being described to us by the Americans.

    If he wins, he will need to show me something he hasn't before.

    And for the record I'm Scottish.

    I agree the rounds with Taylor and Pascal were great experience.

    Should be a decent scrap.....

    If Froch pulls through this then I will have to eat humble pie and finally give him his dues.

    Anyway-

    Dirrel POINTS 9/2 SKYBET.
